Verse:Hmøøh/Talma/Music: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

Just intonation was initially an attractive choice as it was considered easy to tune and evaluate musicians on. Primes higher than 5 may have come from an early tradition of throat singing where having a deep voice and the ability to throat-sing higher harmonics (11-14) clearly was seen as a mark of masculinity. In summary, a major reason that this system of just intervals survived as a mainstay of Talman music was likely that maintaining it (without collapsing it to e.g. the common pentatonic scale) functioned as a status symbol.

~~==Periodization==~~

~~Here follows a crude periodization of Talman classical music:~~

*Throat-singing, natural horns, monochords lead to knowledge of higher harmonics; mainly overtone scales; mainly monophonic

*Tsăhong Tamdi's treatise [[Literature:Elements of Harmony|''Elements of Harmony'']] is published ~> Partchian tonality diamonds;

*Johnstonian free JI

*(n,k)-anies, Euler-Fokker and other CPS's

*constant structures; good equal temperaments (19-EDO, 22-EDO, 27-EDO, 31-EDO)

**Askuucis came up with the idea of EDOs; however, EDOs didn't really take off until the isomorphic keyboard was invented.

==Standardization==

The Trician scientific unit for musical intervals is the ''vri'', which is defined as the interval given by the frequency ratio exp(1/1728):1 ≈ 1.00187155617 [[w:cent (music)|cents]]. So it's in practice very similar in size to cents.
