A minor major seventh chord, or minor/major seventh chord is a seventh chord composed of a root, minor third, perfect fifth, and major seventh (1, {{music|b}}3, 5, and 7). It can be viewed as a minor triad with an additional major seventh. When using popular-music symbols, it is denoted by m^M7, m^Δ7, −^Δ7, mM7, m/M7, m(M7), min^maj7, m^⑦, m^{{{Music|natural}}7}, m⁷⁺, etc. For example, the minor major seventh chord built on C, written as Cm^M7, has pitches C–E{{music|b}}–G–B:

{

\\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f

\\relative c' {

   \\clef treble    \\time 4/4   \\key c \\major

} }

The chord can be represented by the integer notation {0, 3, 7, 11}.

Use

The chord occurs on the tonic when harmonizing the harmonic minor scale in seventh chords. That is, the first, third, fifth, and seventh scale degrees of the harmonic minor scale form a minor major seventh chord, as shown below.

{

\\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f

\\relative c' {

  \\clef treble \\time 7/4 \\key c \\minor  \\once \\override NoteHead.color = #red c4^\\markup { "C harmonic minor scale" } d \\once \\override NoteHead.color = #red es f \\once \\override NoteHead.color = #red g aes \\once \\override NoteHead.color = #red b c2 }

}

The harmonic minor scale has a raised seventh, creating a minor second (half step) between the seventh and the octave. This half step creates a pull (leading tone) to the tonic that is useful in harmonic context and is not present in the natural minor scale. Traditionally, in classical and jazz contexts, when building a chord on the dominant of the minor tonality, this raised seventh is present, and so both of these chords have a strong pull to the tonic.

The minor major seventh chord is most often used in jazz, typically functioning as a minor tonic. Jazz musicians usually improvise with the melodic minor scale over this chord; the harmonic minor scale is also used. Additionally, Bernard Herrmann's use of this chord – most notoriously in his score for Psycho – has earned it the nickname, "The Hitchcock Chord".^[1] In flamenco, guitarists often use this chord as an abstract chord to create atmosphere and it gives a Moorish feel{{Explain|reason=|date=February 2019}} with the tension between the minor and major.

This chord also appears in classical music, but it is used more in the late Romantic period than in the Classical and Baroque periods. One notable use is in the fourth movement of Samuel Barber's piano sonata; the subject of the fugue begins with a minor major seventh chord and the chord is heard many times throughout the fugue.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}}

The chord, infrequent in rock and popular music, is, "virtually always found on the fourth scale degree in the major mode", thus making the seventh of the chord the third of the scale and perhaps explaining the rarity of the chord, given the "propensity of the third scale degree to be lowered as a blues alteration."^[2] Examples occur in Lesley Gore's "It's My Party" (see also augmented triad), the Chiffons' "One Fine Day", Mariah Carey's "Vision Of Love", Pink Floyd's "Us and Them", Toni Braxton's "I Don't Want To", Radiohead's "Life in a Glasshouse" and Depeche Mode's "Jezebel".

The chord, which has Forte number 4-19, "may be regarded as the sonic emblem of music of the Second Viennese School because of its prevalence and multiple strategic functions."^[3]
