| '''Bjeheondian music''' is a monophonic tradition based on [[Netagin]] music.
| |
| == Tuning ==
| |
| Bjeheondian music often appears "microtonal" or "xenharmonic" from our modern Western perspective, though pentatonic-like scales can be used. In modern times it is usually notated based on a diatonic-based notation with accidentals for non-fifth-based notes. However, real-world intonational practices are not fixed to a particular tuning and use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals, and they differ by region and context. Both court and folk music use melodies based on either diatonic-like scales or the semiquartal (5L 4s MOS) scale, the nine-note scale LLSLSLSLS which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. Diatonic-like melodic shapes sometimes arise as a consequence of altering the semiquartal scale.

| A ''hanier'' /hɐ'nɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping'; Wdm. ''hănier'') consists of a set of nine movable pitches plus a choice of which subset to emphasize, either a set of two ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ (pentachords, lit. 'set of five'; Nurian ''seałŧaļ'', Wdm. ''păsuam'') or a framework based on a ''buri'' /by'ɾi/ (lit. 'sprint'; Wdm. ''büri''), a pentatonic subset where the small step of 5L 4s is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
| |
| | |
| Some important modern ''hanier'' artists include composers Baqůr Dyhieć and Qypaś Nabak and singer Stow Fitsmilin. Some modern composers have introduced hanier counterpoint.
| |
| | |
| Commonly used tonics/keys are Ddb, Adb, Edb, Bdb, Fd, C, D, F, G, and Bb.
| |
| | |
| == Instruments ==
| |
| The most important instrument in Bjeheondian music is the human voice. Instruments such as ouds, Talman fiddles, qanuns, modern electronic keyboards and various percussion instruments are also used.
| |
| | |
| There is a tradition of orally transmitted folk songs (Ntg. ''vyntah qama''; [[Nurian]] ''vnūsaļ mamma'', both 'mother's singing'). Composed solo vocal music (Ntg. ''vyntah vyźol''; Nurian ''vnūsaļ iġġīehar'' 'exquisite singing') was traditionally upper class music as opposed to folk music, but became an integral part of folk music, with many pieces becoming part of the hanier canon.
| |
| | |
| == History ==
| |
| Haniers originally consisted of two 4/3-spanning JI pentachords, often described as 1/1 9/8 7/6 21/16 4/3 or permutations thereof.
| |
| | |
| Pitched percussion, imported from Naquian music, uses semiquartal[19] tunings have been used in music with pitched percussion, usually tunings close to 33edo or 19edo semiquartal.
| |
| === Figures ===
| |
| * Ŋyplav: developed a 17 tone system that misses some pezůms, and developed ðavr's
| |
| * Mydleś: proposed various tunings mostly based on dividing string lengths; Mydleśin's scales are split into monochordal and dichordal, depending on whether the pattern has one 9/8 (i.e. meant to be played on one string) or two 9/8's (meant to be played on two strings)
| |
| * Hăjaď Săvarxal: proposed weird pezůms, esp ones that have 10/9's for 9/8's, thus getting closer to the modern quasi-33edo system.

| == ''Ŋivveźůl''' ==
| |
| A ''ŋivveź'' (a verbal noun of ''ŋavvoź'' 'to run (atelic)', pl. ''ŋivveźůl'') consists of a 4- or 5-note "genus", usually spanning a perfect fourth, but also includes notes above and below in actual practice. It is analogous to ''ajnās'' in Arabic music.

| == Harmony in the semiquartal scale==
| |
| Semiquartal modal harmony (harmony is referred to with the neologism ''vynqůr'' '(the gestalt result of) difference [referring to different pitches sounded simultaneously]' or with the Eevo word ''eeclind'') is a modern construct. A particular style of it pioneered by the Trician xenharmonic community Brycþéñ lly Frindu Jydylisríz has gained some popularity in the Windermere Commonwealth, and "popular hanier" has begun incorporating it.
| |
| Modes of the 9-note scale are called ''hăćemaś'' (sg. ''hăćemeś'', lit. mask). These are distinct from the traditional ''hanier''s.
| |
| | |
| *''Cimmaqie'': LLsLsLsLs (Chimmaïan)
| |
| *''Tavůlie'': LsLLsLsLs (Thavulian)
| |
| *''Lannie'': LsLsLLsLs (Lannian)
| |
| *''Bonźie'': LsLsLsLLs (Bonzhian)
| |
| *''Ćiťůpie'': LsLsLsLsL (Tjitupian)
| |
| *''Zierokie'': sLLsLsLsL (Zierokian)
| |
| *''Vaśmie'': sLsLLsLsL (Vashmian)
| |
| *''Pahnaćie'': sLsLsLLsL (Pahnachian)
| |
| *''Qyporie'': sLsLsLsLL (Iporian)
| |
| | |
| Functional harmony is based on using 4L 1s modes and their subsets on functional degrees.
| |
| | |
| == Rhythm ==
| |
| Bjeheondian rhythm is based on complex rhythmic cycles known as ''tălea'' in Windermere (from Ntg. ''talea'', from t-l-j "to return, to cycle"), often consisting of more than 10 beats per "measure". (Steal from konnakol)

|
| | '''Tumhanian music''' is a monophonic tradition based on [[Anbirese]]/[[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 Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?" |
| | == ''Buri''s == |
| | 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 |
| | * 0 150 300 700 |
| | * 0 150 500 700 |
| | * 0 400 600 700 |
|
| |
|
| | == ''Pezům''s == |
| | ''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. |
| | * 0 300 500 700 1000 1200 1400 |
