dominant

In tonal music, the fifth note of a major or minor scale; for example, G in the C major scale. It is next in importance to the tonic and can be said to dominate because of its special relationship to the tonic (brass players will know it as the ‘third harmonic’ – the first being the ‘fundamental’ note produced by a length of tubing and the second being the octave above that).
