It's called a "triplet". In the score, there's a slur over the three notes,
and a little tiny '3' marked in a small gap in the middle of the slur.

Three notes, normally quavers, they are to played faster than normal quavers. I always remember how to play them, because in my head I say 'banana' To be exact in definition, 'triplet' means that the three notes must be played in time of two notes. For example, if you had a triplet in quavers, they must be played in the time of a crotchet, because two quavers equal 1 crotchet. Another example, triplet in crotchets must be played in the time of a minim, because two crotchets equal 1 minim.
Some people insist that a chord is three or more notes played together. Others insist that even two notes still make a chord. Opinions differ, and it is dependent on the terminology people wish to use to describe a chord.
In triplet music notation, symbols and markings are used to indicate that three notes should be played in the time of two. The most common symbol used is the number 3 above or below the notes, indicating that the notes should be played evenly in a group of three.
A chord. Playing a Cnote an Enote and a Gnote simultaneously will give you a C chord.
chords are two or more notes played at the same time.
The term for the rhythmic pairing of two-notes against three-notes is called "polyrhythm."
In music, a triplet reduces the value of the three notes by one-third, i.e., a triplet of three quarter notes in 4/4 time has a total value equal to two quarter notes.
three because two eighth notes equal one quarter note
Three crotchets with a bracket grouped over them with a small three in the middle of the bracket is called a triplet. A triplet is when you play three notes in the time that you would play two notes, meaning in this case you would play three crotchets in the time of two crotchet beats (or one minim beat).
They are known as double stops.
Most commonly they are referred to as either a scale or a chord. However, other terms include cluster, row or series.
Triplets in music are a group of three notes played in the time of two regular notes. This means that each note in a triplet is shorter than a regular note value. Triplets add a sense of rhythm and variation to music by dividing beats into three equal parts instead of the usual two or four.
