  • MTO 22.4: Gotham, Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp
    Volume 22, Number 4, December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Society for Music Theory Pitch Properties of the Pedal Harp, with an Interactive Guide * Mark R. H. Gotham and Iain A. D. Gunn KEYWORDS: harp, pitch, pitch-class set theory, composition, analysis ABSTRACT: This article is aimed at two groups of readers. First, we present an interactive guide to pitch on the pedal harp for anyone wishing to teach or learn about harp pedaling and its associated pitch possibilities. We originally created this in response to a pedagogical need for such a resource in the teaching of composition and orchestration. Secondly, for composers and theorists seeking a more comprehensive understanding of what can be done on this unique instrument, we present a range of empirical-theoretical observations about the properties and prevalence of pitch structures on the pedal harp and the routes among them. This is particularly relevant to those interested in extended-tonal and atonal repertoires. A concluding section discusses prospective theoretical developments and analytical applications. 1 of 21 Received June 2016 I. Introduction [1.1] Most instruments have a relatively clear pitch universe: some have easy access to continuous pitch (unfretted string instruments, voices, the trombone), others are constrained by the 12-tone chromatic scale (most keyboards), and still others are limited to notes of the diatonic or pentatonic scales (many non-Western-orchestral members of the xylophone family). The pedal harp, by contrast, falls somewhere between those last two categories: it is organized around a diatonic configuration, but can reach all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and most (but not all) pitch-class sets.

Upon closely investigating the present performance practice of Burmese musicians, however, it becomes apparent that a rather complex orally transmitted theory of the music exists. It is never taught as theory per se, but the knowledge is acquired as the musician adds one composition after another to his repertoire.
