Gypsy Scale
The term ''Gypsy scale'' refers to one of several musical scales named after their support of and association with Romani or "Gypsy" music, the latter being considered derogatory. * Double harmonic scale (major), the fifth mode of Hungarian minor, or Double Harmonic minor, scale, also known as the Byzantine scale. * Hungarian minor scale, minor scale with raised fourth and seventh degrees, also known as Double Harmonic minor scale. * Phrygian dominant scale In music, the Phrygian dominant scale (or the Phrygian ♮3 scale) is the actual fifth musical mode, mode of the harmonic minor scale, the fifth being the dominant (music), dominant.Dave Hunter (2005).

Musical Scale
In music theory, a scale is "any consecutive series of notes that form a progression between one note and its octave", typically by order of pitch or fundamental frequency. The word "scale" originates from the Latin ''scala'', which literally means "ladder". Therefore, any scale is distinguishable by its "step-pattern", or how its intervals interact with each other. Often, especially in the context of the common practice period, most or all of the melody and harmony of a musical work is built using the notes of a single scale, which can be conveniently represented on a staff with a standard key signature. Due to the principle of octave equivalence, scales are generally considered to span a single octave, with higher or lower octaves simply repeating the pattern. A musical scale represents a division of the octave space into a certain number of scale steps, a scale step being the recognizable distance (or interval) between two successive notes of the scale. However, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Romani Music
Romani music (often referred to as Gypsy or Gipsy music, which is often considered a derogatory term) is the music of the Romani people, an ethnic-minority group concentrated in parts of Europe. Historically nomadic, though now largely settled, the Romani people have long acted as entertainers and tradesmen. In many of the places Romani live they have become known as musicians. The wide distances travelled have introduced a multitude of influences of: French, German, Greek, Indian, Persian, Romanian, Slavic, Spanish and Turkish musical traditions. It is difficult to define the parameters of a unified Romani musical style, as there are differences in melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and formal structures from region to region. Lyrics to Romani songs often incorporate one or more dialects of the Romani language, and dance frequently accompanies Romani music performance. The quintessentially Spanish flamenco is to a very large extent the music (and dance, or indeed the culture ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Double Harmonic Scale
The double harmonic major scaleStetina, Troy (1999). ''The Ultimate Scale Book'', p. 59. . is a musical scale with a flattened second and sixth degree. This scale is enharmonic to the Mayamalavagowla raga, Bhairav raga, Byzantine scale, Arabic scale (Hijaz Kar),Christiansen, Mike (2003). ''Mel Bay Complete Guitar Scale Dictionary'', p. 43. . and Gypsy major scale. It can be likened to a gypsy scale because of the diminished step between the 1st and 2nd degrees. ''Arabic scale'' may also refer to any Arabic mode, the simplest of which, however, to Westerners, resembles the double harmonic major scale. : Details The sequence of steps comprising the double harmonic scale is : :half, augmented second, half, whole, half, augmented second, half Or, in relation to the tonic note :minor second, major third, perfect fourth and fifth, minor sixth, major seventh, octave However, this scale is commonly represented with the first and last half step each being represented with qu ...

Byzantine Music
Byzantine music () originally consisted of the songs and hymns composed for the courtly and religious ceremonial of the Byzantine Empire and continued, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, in the traditions of the sung Byzantine chant of Eastern Orthodox liturgy. The ecclesiastical forms of Byzantine music are the best known forms today, because different Orthodox traditions still identify with the heritage of Byzantine music, when their cantors sing monodic chant out of the traditional chant books such as the Sticherarion, which in fact consisted of five books, and the Irmologion. Byzantine music did not disappear after the fall of Constantinople. Its traditions continued under the Patriarch of Constantinople, who after the Ottoman conquest in 1453 was granted administrative responsibilities over all Eastern Orthodox Christians in the Ottoman Empire. During the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, burgeoning splinter nations in the Balkans declared autonomy o ...

Phrygian Dominant Scale
In music, the Phrygian dominant scale (or the Phrygian ♮3 scale) is the actual fifth musical mode, mode of the harmonic minor scale, the fifth being the dominant (music), dominant.Dave Hunter (2005). ''Play Acoustic'', San Francisco: Backbeat, p. 226. . It is also called the harmonic dominant, altered Phrygian scale, dominant flat 2 flat 6 (in jazz), or Freygish scale (also spelled FraigishDick Weissman, Dan Fox (2009). ''A Guide to Non-Jazz Improvisation'', guitar edition, Pacific, Missouri: Mel Bay, p. 130. .). It resembles the Phrygian mode but with a major third, rather than a minor third. The augmented second between its second and third scale degrees gives it an "Arabic" or Middle Eastern feeling to Western listeners. In the Berklee method, it is known as the Mixolydian mode, Mixolydian 9 13 chord scale, a Mixolydian scale with a lowered 9th (2nd) and lowered 13th (6th), used in secondary dominant chord scales for V7/III and V7/VI. Construction Built on C, the scale is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heptatonic Scales
A heptatonic scale is a musical scale that has seven pitches, or tones, per octave. Examples include: * the diatonic scale; including the major scale and its modes (notably the natural minor scale, or Aeolian mode) * the melodic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 6th and 7th ascending * the harmonic minor scale, like the Aeolian mode but with raised 7th * the harmonic major scale, like the major scale but with lowered 6th Indian classical theory postulates seventy-two seven-tone scale types, collectively called '' melakarta'' or ''thaat'', whereas others postulate twelve or ten (depending on the theorist) seven-tone scale types. Several heptatonic scales in Western, Roman, Spanish, Hungarian, and Greek music can be analyzed as juxtapositions of tetrachords.Dupré, Marcel (1962). ''Cours Complet d'Improvisation a l'Orgue'', v.2, p. 35, trans. John Fenstermaker. Paris: Alphonse Leduc. ASIN: B0006CNH8E. All heptatonic scales have all intervals present in their ...
