  2. Harmonic series (music) - Wikipedia

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

    In terms of what one hears, each successively higher octave in the harmonic series is divided into increasingly "smaller" and more numerous intervals. The second harmonic, whose frequency is twice the fundamental, sounds an octave higher; the third harmonic, three times the frequency of the fundamental, sounds a perfect fifth above the second ...

  3. Just intonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation

    An interval tuned in this way is said to be pure, and is called a just interval. Just intervals (and chords created by combining them) consist of tones from a single harmonic series of an implied fundamental. For example, in the diagram, if the notes G3 and C4 (labelled 3 and 4) are tuned as members of the harmonic series of the lowest C, their ...

  4. Interval (music) - Wikipedia

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

    In music theory, an interval is a difference in pitch between two sounds. [1] An interval may be described as horizontal, linear, or melodic if it refers to successively sounding tones, such as two adjacent pitches in a melody, and vertical or harmonic if it pertains to simultaneously sounding tones, such as in a chord.

  6. List of intervals in 5-limit just intonation - Wikipedia

    The intervals of 5-limit just intonation (prime limit, not odd limit) are ratios involving only the powers of 2, 3, and 5. The fundamental intervals are the superparticular ratios 2/1 (the octave), 3/2 (the perfect fifth) and 5/4 (the major third). That is, the notes of the major triad are in the ratio 1:5/4:3/2 or 4:5:6.

  7. List of pitch intervals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pitch_intervals

    Below is a list of intervals expressible in terms of a prime limit (see Terminology), completed by a choice of intervals in various equal subdivisions of the octave or of other intervals. For commonly encountered harmonic or melodic intervals between pairs of notes in contemporary Western music theory, without consideration of the way in which ...

  8. Quartal and quintal harmony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartal_and_quintal_harmony

    "The strongest and most unique harmonic interval after the octave is the fifth, the prettiest nevertheless is the third by right of the chordal effects of its Combination tones." Quartal harmony in Hindemith's Flute Sonata, II with tonal center on B established by descent in left hand in Dorian and repeated B's and F ♯ 's [ 13 ]

  9. Harmonic minor scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_minor_scale

    The harmonic minor scale (or Aeolian ♮7 scale) is a musical scale derived from the natural minor scale, with the minor seventh degree raised by one semitone to a major seventh, [2] [3] [4] creating an augmented second between the sixth and seventh degrees.
