Major Chord
In music theory, a major chord ( Play) is a chord having a root, a major third, and a perfect fifth. When a chord has these three notes alone, it is called a major triad. Some major triads with additional notes, such as the major seventh chord, may also be called major chords.

Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands.

Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.”
