The playing of a melody upside down, with upward intervals played downwards and vice verse, most common in contrapuntal and serial music.
(counterpoint) a variation of a melody or part in which ll ascending intervals are replaced by descending intervals and vice versa
(1) In traditional music theory, a chord with a note other than the root in the bass. (2) With regard to any particular voicing, especially a left-hand rootless voicing, a rearrangement of the voicing by moving the bottom note up an octave. Or, any one octavewise arrangement of a voicing.
a change according to pitch in the placing of notes within a chord; mirror or upside-down image of a melody or pattern
Structuring a chord with a note other than the root as the lowest note.
the term used to specify which chord tone is the lowest (in the bass). Derived from figured bass, inversions are shown by numbers listing the intervals of pitch classes above the bass (not including any additional octaves that may be present). The following chart lists all standard inversions of triads and seventh chords: click to play
The procedure or result of shifting a note of an interval or chord so that what was originally the lowest note (bass) becomes an upper note.
Mirror or upside-down image of a melody or pattern, found in fugues and twelve-tone compositions.

The lower tone forming the interval becomes the upper tone (or vice versa).
A change in the basic or fundamental way of playing a chord. The "root" position has the root note as the lowest note. The "first inversion" has the second note of the root position as the lowest note with the root note now the highest note of the chord. The "second inversion" follows the same pattern with the 3rd note of the root chord now the lowest position with the original second note now the highest note of the chord.

we give to this word the meaning found in the harmony treatises, that is to say, it means the different manifestations of a chord depending on the note put as the bass. It never refers to the meaning given when talking about intervalic symmetry in a chord. In these cases we use the term "symmetric chord".
The different forms that a chord may take by changing the chord member that is the bass of the chord.
In music theory, the word inversion has several meanings. There are inverted chords, inverted melodies, inverted intervals, and (in counterpoint) inverted voices. The concept of inversion also plays a role in musical set theory.
InVersion are a heavy metal band from Essex who came together with the aim to blend the melody of old school metal with the aggression and rhythm of more modern bands. Despite going through a number of line-up changes this aim has never changed and now InVersion have really begun to perfect what they set out to do. The combination of old and new metal now sounds even better, heavy but un-deniably melodic.
