Bruce O. article-History of musical scale (19) RE: article-History of musical scale 10 Dec 99


PS A: You can find lots of musical scales on the web by putting 'Musical Scales' in a search engine.

PS B: Jack Campin devised his own terminology for hexatonic and pentatonic modes and it's pretty awkward. See Bronson's article noted above for better and simpler terminology. Hexatonic is still a bit awkward, and I've stretched my brain to the limit to come up with something simpler that's not too harebrained, but I haven't got it yet.

PS C: I think Mary said whe was a math teacher. My new coding scheme has tables for those who have to code tunes but don't like math, but programers to decode it will have to deal with l = -1 + (n+1)*modulo (3) and such like little equations.
