Tuning
Ancient Naquian music uses a division of the perfect fifth into 4 or 8 equal parts. (The 8 equal parts tuning is very close to the 88 cents equal tuning.) Skellan composer Rewhd Sgutsis noted that these scales fit nicely into a framework of 41 equal parts to the octave.
Scales in steps of the 8 equal division of the fifth scale:
- 2 2 2 2 - 4edf
- 2 2 3 1
- 3 1 3 1
Native sources describe a system of naming intervals in this scale.
- "Unison"
- Minor second = 88 cents
- Neutral second = 176 cents
- Major second = Minor third = 264 cents
- Neutral third = 352 cents
- Major third = Minor fourth = 440 cents
- Neutral fourth = 528 cents
- Major fourth = 616 cents
- Perfect fifth ]= 704 cents
- Minor sixth = 792 cents
- Neutral sixth = 880 cents
- Major sixth = Minor seventh = 968 cents
- Neutral seventh = 1056 cents
- Major seventh = 1144 cents
