Verse:Hmøøh/Tumhan/Music

Written by Inthar

Bjeheondian music is a monophonic tradition based on Netagin music called the hanier (Ntg. 'stepping') tradition, which in modern times is based on pentatonic scale subsets of 24 equal divisions of the octave. The premise of the hanier tradition is "What if maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

Buris

The buri (Ntg. 'sprint') is roughly equivalent to the jins in Arabic music. However, they usually span a fifth instead of a fourth.

• 0 200 400 700 = "Antikurd"
• 0 200 500 700 = "Antinahawand"
• 0 300 500 700 = "Antiajam"
• 0 200 450 700 = "Rast"
• 0 250 500 700 = "Bayati"
• 0 250 450 = "Sikah"
• 0 300 400 700 = "Antihijaz"
• 0 250 500 600 = "Saba"
• 0 100 500 600 = Locrian

Pezůms

Pezům or hanier is a word for what roughly corresponds to a pentatonic subset scale of 24edo. Like the word maqam, hanier may be used both as a synonym for the whole tradition and for types of scales used in the tradition.
