Your (music)

Interval

Solfegic definition

In Musical theory, the your is largest of the joint intervals of the diatonic scale natural. It corresponds to the second major.

For example, gilded, Remi , etc; but also, do $\ sharp$ -ré $\ sharp$ , ré $\ flat$ -mi $\ flat$ , etc; or, si-do $\ sharp$ , mi $\ flat$ -fa , etc

Physical definition

The report/ratio of the Fréquence S of two sounds distant one from the other of a your is of 9/8 (in the moderate Gamme, this report/ratio is slightly faded) . This interval, equal to 200 hundreds (or close to 50 savarts) in the moderate Range, is complementary to Quarte to form a Quinte (see the article ranges and temperaments). Translated into addition of intervals, one will pose: a quad plus a tone are worth a fifth. Or two fifths minus a octave are worth a tone ( C-ground + ground-D = gilded ).

The tone defined above is also called your major . There exists a your minor who is the interval between the major tone and the pure major third (or right). Indeed, in the range of Pythagore as in the moderated range, the major third can be defined as equal to two tons (major). But these thirds (as well that of Pythagore as the third of the equal temperament) are larger than the third right (report/ratio of frequencies 5/4). The third right is thus the sum of a major tone and a tone slightly lower, the minor tone, of report/ratio 10/9 such as 10/9 X 9/8 = 5/4.

Melody or harmonic context

In the Classical music until the 18th century, the your is initially Synonyme with mode. One will speak for example about a musical work of the “first tone” (= dorien = mode of D authente ).

For more information on this first significance, to consult the article Musical theory and method.

With the appearance of the Tonality, the direction referred on this new structure. Thus, one speaks about the principal tone of a work to indicate the central tonality, that which one defines starting from the armor.

For more information on this second significance, to consult the articles tonal System and Tonality.

Height

It is starting from this bringing together that forged the phrase “ to give the tone ”, to mean the fact of indicating notes it departure of a vocal musical work and polyphonic. For example, before the execution of a song to several voice, the chief gives the tone , i.e., which it gives the first note of each voice, in order to obtain the absolute height of intonation. One can give the tone in Chant ant, for works “has cappella”, or using a instrument, in the case of accompanied works. In a polyphony, one will thus say to somebody who sings his left too high or too low, or even, slightly forgery, which it is not “not in the tone”.
