Understanding Interval Inversions and Compound Intervals in Music Theory

This chapter covers the concept of interval inversions, where the lower tone of an interval becomes the higher tone and vice versa. It distinguishes between simple and compound intervals, with compound intervals being those greater than an octave and labeled according to their simple equivalents. The lesson emphasizes the importance of understanding these inversions for musical analysis and offers assignments and readings to reinforce the learning objectives. Students are encouraged to complete their workbook assignments promptly for better comprehension.

  1. Chapter 3 Part 3

  2. Inversion of Intervals • The inversion of an interval means that the lower tone of an interval becomes the higher tone, or the higher tone becomes the lower tone.

  3. Interval Inversions

  4. Typical Inversions

  5. Typical Inversions

  6. Typical Intervals

  7. Compound and Simple Intervals • Intervals greater than an octave are called COMPOUND.

  8. Compound and Simple Intervals • The Intervals are named in a similar manner to the intervals within an octave (simple intervals) • Compound intervals are often labeled as their simple equivalents – as if an octave were removed from the interval. The compound names are only used if it is important to stress the exact interval size.

  9. Classwork and Homework • In class: Assignment 3.5 and 3.9 • Homework: Read pages 62-64 in textbook – very helpful for the 2nd half of your assignment. • WORKBOOK 3B-3G Monday, October 7. (This is a big assignment. Don’t wait until Sunday night to finish it.
