has gloss | eng: In music theory, the half-diminished seventh chord (also known as a minor seventh flat five) is created by taking the root, minor third, diminished fifth and minor seventh (1, 3, 5 and 7) of any major scale; for example, C half-diminished would be (C E G B). In diatonic harmony, the half-diminished chord naturally occurs on the 7th scale tone (for example, Bm7(5) in C major). By the same virtue, it also occurs on the second degree of natural minor (e.g. Dm7 (5) in C minor). |
