WHAT DOES TERTIAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Tertian

In music theory, tertian describes any piece, chord, counterpoint etc. constructed from the interval of a third. An interval such as that between the notes A and C encompasses 3 semitone intervals and is termed a minor third while one such as that between C and E encompasses 4 semitones and is called a major third . Quartal chord on A equals thirteenth chord on B♭, distinguished by the arrangement of chord factors Play . A common triad chord can be regarded as consisting of a "stack" of two such intervals. A musical scale may also be analysed as a succession of thirds . The meantone temperament, a system of tuning that emphasises pure thirds, may be called "tertian". Chords built from sixths may also be referred to as tertian because an ascending sixth is equal to a descending third and vice versa: any sixth can be taken as the inversion of a third. For instance the interval C-A is a major sixth that, when inverted, gives the interval A-C, which is a minor third. Tertian concepts have been used innovatively in chord progressions, as for example in the "thirds cycle" used in John Coltrane's Coltrane changes.
