| '''Netagin music''', both classical and modern, is usually taught based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo), a [[w:Regular diatonic tuning|diatonic tuning]] where E# is equated to Fb instead of E# = F as in 12edo. Before the invention of electronic tuners, this temperament could be realized by tuning a chain of 19 pure 5/3 minor sixths, which approximates the tuning to less than 3 [[w:cent (music)|cents]] of error. Though 19edo is a meantone tuning like 12edo and diatonic music is not uncommon in Netagin culture, liturgical and folk music is usually based on the semiquartal scale, the nine-note MOS scale 331313131 which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. This article mainly deals with the use of the semiquartal scale in Netagin music.
| |
| | |
| Liturgical chanting is not fixed to a particular tuning and may use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals.
| |
| | |
| A ''hanier'' /hɐɲɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''buri'' /bɨ'ɾi/ (pentachords or hexachords; lit. 'sprint') or a ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ ('set of five'), a pentatonic subset where 1\19 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
| |
| | |
| The most common diatonic modes in liturgical music are the Locrian and the Locrian #6. If necessary they are approximated with 19edo, for example for Locrian the 7-note subset 0-1-4-8-9-12-15-19 of the ''Pahnačie'' (sLsLsLLsL) mode is used.
| |
| | |
| ==''Buri''s==
| |
| In theory, the six possible ''buri''s with large (C-D) and small (C-C#) steps that build up a scale are:
| |
| #C-D-E-E#-F
| |
| #C-D-Ebb-E#-F
| |
| #C-D-Ebb-Eb-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Ebb-E#-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Ebb-Eb-F
| |
| #C-Dbb-Db-E#-F
| |
| In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''buri''s may be disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root).
| |
| | |
| The top note of a ''buri'' functions similarly to the ''ghammāz'' in Arabic ''ajnās''.
| |
| | |
| A style that emphasizes ''buri''s is preferred for dark, mournful or creepy music (to emphasizing ''pezům''s).
| |
| | |
| Other ''buri''s which include 2\19 (about 126 cents) steps:
| |
| *C-D-Ebb-E-F
| |
| *C-Db-Ebb-E#-F
| |
| *C-Db-Ebb-E-F
| |
| | |
| ==''Pezům''s==
| |
| [[File:pezeom.png|thumbnail|The ''Lynkědie'' mode of the 9-note scale, with the ''pezům'' 0-250-500-700-950-1200 highlighted (notated in 19edo).]]
| |
| | |
| ''Pezům''s are said to sound brighter.
| |
| | |
| Common ''pezům''s are (TODO: Netagin names):
| |
| *C-D#-F-G-A#-C ("the most neutral-sounding")
| |
| *C-D-E-G-A-C ("mellow and joyful")
| |
| *C-D-E-G-A#-C ("pompous")
| |
| *C-D#-E#-G-A#-C ("majectic")
| |
| *C-D-E#-G-A#-C ("unsettled, suspended")
| |
| *C-D#-E#-G#-A-C ("slightly anxious and distressed")
| |
| *C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C
| |
| Rarer ''pezům''s:
| |
| *C-Eb-F-G-A#-Cb ("exotic")
| |
| *C-D#-F#-Ab-Bb-C 0-250-550-800-1000-1200 ("disoriented")
| |
| | |
| ==Counterpoint==
| |
| Mainly based on ''pezum''s with ornamentations as needed?
| |
| | |
| ===Contrary motion===
| |
| *You can resolve to 250 inward.
| |
| *400 can open to 500
| |
| *450 can open to 700
| |
| *950 can open to 1200
| |
| *be aware that naiadics are highly active: try to resolve naiadics to intervals or use them as a jumping point to modulate.
| |
| *250 is relatively stable so you should close down to it using contrary motion, it wont work as well as parallel thirds, tho.
| |
| *500 and 1000 are ambiguous suspended intervals.
| |
| | |
| ===Parallel motion===
| |
| *Parallel mosfourths (450 or 300) are good for contrasting the consonant 300 with the rougher 450. Parallel mossevenths (750 or 900) are similar.
| |
| *Parallel moseighths (950 or 800) are ok.
| |
| *Parallel mosthirds (250 or 400) work less well; widen parallel mosthirds by octaves.
| |
| *Avoid parallel fourths or fifths unless you have a good reason to use them.
| |
| *Avoid parallel seconds or sevenths
| |
| | |
| ==Harmony==
| |
| Semiquartal modal and functional harmony is a more modern construct and is a staple of modern Netagin popular music, such as rock, metal and electronic music.
| |
| ===MOS modes===
| |
| Modes of the 9-note scale are called ''hačama'' (sg. ''hačame'', lit. facial expression).
| |
| | |
| TODO: Netagin names
| |
| | |
| L = C-D, s = C-C# (C-C half-sharp in 24edo)
| |
| *''Cimmaqie'': LLsLsLsLs (Tsimma'ian)
| |
| *''Tavůlie'': LsLLsLsLs (Tavulian)
| |
| *''Lannie'': LsLsLLsLs (Lannian)
| |
| *''Bonžie'': LsLsLsLLs (Bonzhian)
| |
| *''Ťatůpie'': LsLsLsLsL (Tjatupian)
| |
| *''Zieřokie'': sLLsLsLsL (Zierokian)
| |
| *''Vašmie'': sLsLLsLsL (Vashmian)
| |
| *''Pahnačie'': sLsLsLLsL (Pahnachian)
| |
| *''Qyporie'': sLsLsLsLL (Iporian)
| |
| | |
| ===MODMOS modes===
| |
| ===Functional harmony===
| |
| Many of the harmonic functions carry over from diatonic, because the semiquartal scale has fifths and seconds similar to that of diatonic. The functions new to semiquartal are bolded; semi- is used for functions that are a semi-fourth below a diatonic function and similarly hemi- for semi-fourth above a diatonic function. Functions modulate naturally to other functions via fifths, semi-fourths, or sometimes naiadics (perfect fifth minus semifourth; 442 cents in 19edo).
| |
| *I. Tonic
| |
| *II. Supertonic
| |
| *III. '''Semisubdominant'''/Mediant (major)
| |
| *IV. Mediant (minor)/'''Semidominant'''
| |
| *V. Subdominant (aka leading tone to dominant)
| |
| *VI. Dominant
| |
| *VII. '''Semisubtonic'''/Submediant(major)
| |
| *VIII. Submediant(minor)/'''Hemidominant'''
| |
| *IX. Subtonic/Leading tone
