Tuning theory
His (commentary on Sondmorið) described a wide variety of just intonation tunings, including:
- eikosanies and other CPS's
- constant structures
- cross sets
Jopah's work laid the foundation for Talman music in the last two centuries. In particular, his work on constant structures inspired Rhooc Askuucis's subsequent work on equal temperaments.
It's remarkable that Jopah composed very little during his lifetime; only one piece of his survives, [???]. However, Jopah's poetry is very popular in modern Talma and has been set to music by quite a few composers; most notably Segin Þwhgad.
Jopah's understanding of tuning was more metaphysical than practical.
Works
- (a play)
- (a poetry anthology)
- A History of Vegetarianism
- [some windermere compound word]: a critical essay on the Sondmorið Manuscripts
- (motivational lectures); officially part of his (play) but often treated as a separate work
- The Anatomy of Song; which included an analysis of the Naquian music of his time in terms of just intonation ratios
