TODO: Replace Netagin terms with Anbirese/Dårle ones


'''Bjeheondian music''' is based on [[Netagin]] music, which in modern times is usually taught based on 19 equal divisions of the octave (19edo). Liturgical and folk music is usually based on scales similar to the semiquartal scale, the nine-note scale 331313131 which is an extension of the familiar pentatonic scale. This article mainly deals with the use of the semiquartal scale in Netagin music.
'''Bjeheondian music''' is a monophonic tradition based on [[Anbirese]]/[[Dårle]] music called the ''hanier'' (Ntg. 'stepping') tradition, which in modern times is based on pentatonic scale subsets of 24 equal divisions of the octave. The premise of the ''hanier'' tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"
== ''Buri''s ==
The ''buri'' (Ntg. 'sprint') is roughly equivalent to the ''jins'' in Arabic music. However, they usually span a fifth instead of a fourth.

Liturgical chanting is not fixed to a particular tuning and may use traditional microtonal inflections or fine-tuned intervals.
== ''Pezům''s ==
 
''Pezům'' or ''hanier'' is a word for what roughly corresponds to a pentatonic subset scale of 24edo. Like the word ''maqam'', ''hanier'' may be used both as a synonym for the whole tradition and for types of scales used in the tradition.
A ''hanier'' /hɐ'nɪɾ/ (literally 'stepping') consists of a nine-note scale plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two ''pezům'' /pɛ'zuəm/ (pentachords, lit. 'set of five') or a framework based on a ''buri'' /by'ɾi/ (lit. 'sprint'), a pentatonic subset where 1\19 is not used as a step. Different styles encourage different subset use.
* 0 300 500 700 1000 1200 1400
 
* 0 250 500 700 950 1200 1400
The most common diatonic modes in liturgical music are the Locrian and the Locrian #6. If necessary they are approximated with 19edo, for example for Locrian the 7-note subset 0-1-4-8-9-12-15-19 of the ''Pahnačie'' (sLsLsLLsL) mode is used.
* 0 200 500 700 900 1200 1400

==''Pezům''s==
* 0 200 450 700 950 1200 1400
In theory, there are six possible ''pezům''s, with large (3\19) and small (1\19) steps that build up a scale. One adds an additional note above the fourth, usually a perfect fifth, but sometimes a tritone.
* 0 250 450 600 850 1100 1300
# ''pezům Qykabavin'': 3311
* 0 300 400 700 900 1200 1400
# ''pezům Lannin'': 3131 (The modern ''Lannie'' mode of the semiquartal scale is made of two ''pezům Lannin''.)
* 0 100 500 600 1000 1200 1300
# ''pezům Qahdiebin'': 3113
* 0 150 300 700 850 1200 1400
# ''pezům Zierokin'': 1331 (The modern ''Zierokie'' mode begins with a ''pezům Zierokin''.)
# ''pezům Vašmin'': 1313 (The modern ''Vašmie'' mode is made of two ''pezům Vašmin''.)
# ''pezům Nobbaxin'': 1133
In practice, usually only the first five are used. The two ''pezům''s may be disjunct (separated by a major second), or conjunct (either spanning a minor seventh above the root or the major second above the root).
 
A style that emphasizes ''pezům''s is preferred for folk music.
 
Other ''pezům''s which include 2\19 (about 126 cents) steps:
*C-D-Ebb-E-F
*C-Db-Ebb-E#-F
*C-Db-Ebb-E-F

''Buri''s are said to sound brighter and are preferred for ceremonial and liturgical music.
 
Common ''buri''s are (TODO: Netagin names):
*C-D#-F-G-A#-C ("the most neutral-sounding")
*C-D-E-G-A-C ("mellow and joyful")
*C-D-E-G-A#-C ("pompous")
*C-D#-E#-G-A#-C ("majectic")
*C-D-E#-G-A#-C ("unsettled, suspended")
*C-D#-E#-G#-A-C ("slightly anxious and distressed")
*C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C
Rarer ''buri''s:
*C-Eb-F-G-A#-Cb ("exotic")
*C-D#-F#-Ab-Bb-C 0-250-550-800-1000-1200 ("disoriented")
 
==Harmony==
Semiquartal modal harmony is a more modern construct and is a staple of modern Netagin popular music, such as rock, metal and electronic music.
=== Semiquartal ===
Modes of the 9-note scale are called ''hačama'' (sg. ''hačame'', lit. facial expression). These are distinct from the traditional ''hanier''s.

== Influences on other Trician musics ==
The Netagin ''hanier'' system inspired Talman theorist [[Verse:Tricin/Etsoj Jopah|Etsoj Jopah]] to invent the 7-limit [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Diasem diasem] JI scale, one chirality of which goes LMLSLMLSL with L = 9/8, M = 28/27 and S = 64/63. This JI scale has erroneously been called the "Netagin scale" by Talmans and Talmic speakers. It is a staple in low-complexity-JI- or RTT-based music in modern Tricin.

TODO: Replace Netagin terms with Anbirese/Dårle ones

Bjeheondian music is a monophonic tradition based on Anbirese/Dårle music called the hanier (Ntg. 'stepping') tradition, which in modern times is based on pentatonic scale subsets of 24 equal divisions of the octave. The premise of the hanier tradition is "What if Arabic maqam was pentatonic and neutralized 2L3s (the Western pentatonic scale), instead of being heptatonic and neutralizing 5L2s (the diatonic scale)?"

Buris

The buri (Ntg. 'sprint') is roughly equivalent to the jins in Arabic music. However, they usually span a fifth instead of a fourth.

  • 0 200 500 700 = "Antinahawand"
  • 0 300 500 700 = "Antiajam"
  • 0 200 450 700 = "Rast"
  • 0 250 500 700 = "Bayati"
  • 0 250 450 = "Sikah"
  • 0 300 400 700 = "Antihijaz"
  • 0 250 500 600 = "Saba"
  • 0 100 500 600 = Locrian
  • 0 150 300 700
  • 0 150 500 700
  • 0 400 600 700

Pezůms

Pezům or hanier is a word for what roughly corresponds to a pentatonic subset scale of 24edo. Like the word maqam, hanier may be used both as a synonym for the whole tradition and for types of scales used in the tradition.
