In music theory, the major seventh flat five chord is a seventh chord composed of a root note, together with a major third, a diminished fifth, and a major seventh above the root (1, ♮3, ♭5 and ♮7). For example, the dominant seventh flat five chord built on C, commonly written as C{M7♭5 or CΔ♭5, is composed of the pitches C–E–G♭–B:
- <score vorbis="1" lang="lilypond">
{ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' {
\clef treble \time 4/4 \key c \major <c e ges b>1
} } </score>
The chord can be represented by the integer notation {0, 4, 6, 11}.
In jazz harmony, the major seventh flat five may be considered an altered chord, created by lowering the fifth of a major seventh chord.
