As | As Shalian music embraced vocal polyphony it saw a move away from tetrachords and towards more harmonic, chord-based sounds. Emphasizing JI ratios of 7 became desirable. Thus fixed pitch instruments were tuned to 22-note well-tempered scales with good harmonic sevenths. Modern Shalian music is standardized to 22-tone equal temperament, which does not always reflect musical reality exactly, as unaccompanied Shalian polyphonic vocal music is intoned more accurately. | ||
