I know this is a little odd, but what notes are in the so called 'Devil chord'?


I was just curious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

From what i've learnt in composition lessons and all that.
A devils chord is just a chord with augmented/diminished 4th's or 5th's.
I think they were like banned or something in the Renaissance era (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone#Historical_uses gives some of the historical details. It was only 'banned' in the sense that parallel fifths are 'banned' in Bach chorales.
