  • The 17-Tone Puzzle — and the Neo-Medieval Key That Unlocks It
    The 17-tone Puzzle — And the Neo-medieval Key That Unlocks It by George Secor A Grave Misunderstanding The 17 division of the octave has to be one of the most misunderstood alternative tuning systems available to the microtonal experimenter. In comparison with divisions such as 19, 22, and 31, it has two major advantages: not only are its fifths better in tune, but it is also more manageable, considering its very reasonable number of tones per octave. A third advantage becomes apparent immediately upon hearing diatonic melodies played in it, one note at a time: 17 is wonderful for melody, outshining both the twelve-tone equal temperament (12-ET) and the Pythagorean tuning in this respect. The most serious problem becomes apparent when we discover that diatonic harmony in this system sounds highly dissonant, considerably more so than is the case with either 12-ET or the Pythagorean tuning, on which we were hoping to improve. Without any further thought, most experimenters thus consign the 17-tone system to the discard pile, confident in the knowledge that there are, after all, much better alternatives available. My own thinking about 17 started in exactly this way. In 1976, having been a microtonal experimenter for thirteen years, I went on record, dismissing 17-ET in only a couple of sentences: The 17-tone equal temperament is of questionable harmonic utility. If you try it, I doubt you’ll stay with it for long.1 Since that time I have become aware of some things which have caused me to change my opinion completely.

  • The Lost Harmonic Law of the Bible
    The Lost Harmonic Law of the Bible Jay Kappraff New Jersey Institute of Technology Newark, NJ 07102 Email: [email protected] Abstract The ethnomusicologist Ernest McClain has shown that metaphors based on the musical scale appear throughout the great sacred and philosophical works of the ancient world. This paper will present an introduction to McClain’s harmonic system and how it sheds light on the Old Testament. 1. Introduction Forty years ago the ethnomusicologist Ernest McClain began to study musical metaphors that appeared in the great sacred and philosophical works of the ancient world. These included the Rg Veda, the dialogues of Plato, and most recently, the Old and New Testaments. I have described his harmonic system and referred to many of his papers and books in my book, Beyond Measure (World Scientific; 2001). Apart from its value in providing new meaning to ancient texts, McClain’s harmonic analysis provides valuable insight into musical theory and mathematics both ancient and modern. 2. Musical Fundamentals Figure 1. Tone circle as a Single-wheeled Chariot of the Sun (Rg Veda) Figure 2. The piano has 88 keys spanning seven octaves and twelve musical fifths. The chromatic musical scale has twelve tones, or semitone intervals, which may be pictured on the face of a clock or along the zodiac referred to in the Rg Veda as the “Single-wheeled Chariot of the Sun.” shown in Fig. 1, with the fundamental tone placed atop the tone circle and associated in ancient sacred texts with “Deity.” The tones are denoted by the first seven letters of the alphabet augmented and diminished by and sharps ( ) and flats (b).

  • Intervals and Transposition
    CHAPTER 3 Intervals and Transposition Interval Augmented and Simple Intervals TOPICS Octave Diminished Intervals Tuning Systems Unison Enharmonic Intervals Melodic Intervals Perfect, Major, and Minor Tritone Harmonic Intervals Intervals Inversion of Intervals Transposition Consonance and Dissonance Compound Intervals IMPORTANT Tone combinations are classifi ed in music with names that identify the pitch relationships. CONCEPTS Learning to recognize these combinations by both eye and ear is a skill fundamental to basic musicianship. Although many different tone combinations occur in music, the most basic pairing of pitches is the interval. An interval is the relationship in pitch between two tones. Intervals are named by the Intervals number of diatonic notes (notes with different letter names) that can be contained within them. For example, the whole step G to A contains only two diatonic notes (G and A) and is called a second. Figure 3.1 & ww w w Second 1 – 2 The following fi gure shows all the numbers within an octave used to identify intervals: Figure 3.2 w w & w w w w 1ww w2w w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w8 Notice that the interval numbers shown in Figure 3.2 correspond to the scale degree numbers for the major scale. 55 3711_ben01877_Ch03pp55-72.indd 55 4/10/08 3:57:29 PM The term octave refers to the number 8, its interval number.

  • The Unexpected Number Theory and Algebra of Musical Tuning Systems Or, Several Ways to Compute the Numbers 5,7,12,19,22,31,41,53, and 72
    The Unexpected Number Theory and Algebra of Musical Tuning Systems or, Several Ways to Compute the Numbers 5,7,12,19,22,31,41,53, and 72 Matthew Hawthorn \Music is the pleasure the human soul experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting." -Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716) \All musicians are subconsciously mathematicians." -Thelonius Monk (1917-1982) 1 Physics In order to have music, we must have sound. In order to have sound, we must have something vibrating. Wherever there is something virbrating, there is the wave equation, be it in 1, 2, or more dimensions. The solutions to the wave equation for any given object (string, reed, metal bar, drumhead, vocal cords, etc.) with given boundary conditions can be expressed as a superposition of discrete partials, modes of vibration of which there are generally infinitely many, each with a characteristic frequency. The partials and their frequencies can be found as eigenvectors, resp. eigenvalues of the Laplace operator acting on the space of displacement functions on the object. Taken together, these frequen- cies comprise the spectrum of the object, and their relative intensities determine what in musical terms we call timbre. Something very nice occurs when our object is roughly one-dimensional (e.g. a string): the partial frequencies become harmonic. This is where, aptly, the better part of harmony traditionally takes place. For a spectrum to be harmonic means that it is comprised of a fundamental frequency, say f, and all whole number multiples of that frequency: f; 2f; 3f; 4f; : : : It is here also that number theory slips in the back door.

  • Frequency Ratios and the Perception of Tone Patterns
    Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 1994, 1 (2), 191-201 Frequency ratios and the perception of tone patterns E. GLENN SCHELLENBERG University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada and SANDRA E. TREHUB University of Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada We quantified the relative simplicity of frequency ratios and reanalyzed data from several studies on the perception of simultaneous and sequential tones. Simplicity offrequency ratios accounted for judgments of consonance and dissonance and for judgments of similarity across a wide range of tasks and listeners. It also accounted for the relative ease of discriminating tone patterns by musically experienced and inexperienced listeners. These findings confirm the generality ofpre­ vious suggestions of perceptual processing advantages for pairs of tones related by simple fre­ quency ratios.

  • Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
    NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays.
