  2. Sequence (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_(music)

    A modified sequence is a sequence where the subsequent segments are decorated or embellished so as to not destroy the character of the original segment: From "The Star-Spangled Banner" From "The Star-Spangled Banner" A false sequence is a literal repetition of the beginning of a figure and stating the rest in sequence: [1]

  3. K-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-type_main-sequence_star

    K-type main-sequence stars are about three to four times as abundant as G-type main-sequence stars, making planet searches easier. [17] K-type stars emit less total ultraviolet and other ionizing radiation than G-type stars like the Sun (which can damage DNA and thus hamper the emergence of nucleic acid based life). In fact, many peak in the red.

  4. Stellar classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_classification

    K-type stars are orangish stars that are slightly cooler than the Sun. They make up about 12% of the main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood. [c] [11] There are also giant K-type stars, which range from hypergiants like RW Cephei, to giants and supergiants, such as Arcturus, whereas orange dwarfs, like Alpha Centauri B, are main-sequence ...

  5. Tonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonality

    "All harmonic idioms in popular music are tonal, and none is without function." [4] [vague] Tonality is an organized system of tones (e.g., the tones of a major or minor scale) in which one tone (the tonic) becomes the central point for the remaining tones. The other tones in a tonal piece are all defined in terms of their relationship to the ...

  6. Generative theory of tonal music - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_theory_of_tonal...

    The generative theory of tonal music (GTTM) is a system of music analysis developed by music theorist Fred Lerdahl and linguist Ray Jackendoff. [1] First presented in their 1983 book of the same title, it constitutes a "formal description of the musical intuitions of a listener who is experienced in a musical idiom" [1] with the aim of illuminating the unique human capacity for musical ...

  7. Main sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_sequence

    Stars with less than 0.23 M ☉ [58] are predicted to directly become white dwarfs when energy generation by nuclear fusion of hydrogen at their core comes to a halt, but stars in this mass range have main-sequence lifetimes longer than the current age of the universe, so no stars are old enough for this to have occurred.

  8. Tonal memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_memory

    This test used melodic sequences in a pitch memory test that is formed on the delayed-tone recognition paradigm. [9] The results of the test showed that many factors such as interference tone, degree of tonality, and tonal fitness of comparison tone showed to be a key factor in how listeners performed in the task. [9]

  9. G-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-type_main-sequence_star

    A G-type main-sequence star (spectral type: G-V), also often, and imprecisely, called a yellow dwarf, or G star, is a main-sequence star (luminosity class V) of spectral type G. Such a star has about 0.9 to 1.1 solar masses and an effective temperature between about 5,300 and 6,000 K (5,000 and 5,700 °C ; 9,100 and 10,000 °F ).
