Music in Edna's concultures
Liturgical music
Semaphore[9]-based. The tuning is 24edo like in Arabic theory, but this is a very different application of 24edo. 19edo tuning may also be used.
A haṅier (literally 'stepping') consists of a scale (a choice of pitches relative to the tonic) plus which subsets to emphasize, either a set of two buri (pentachords or hexachords; used in liturgical music) or a pezeom (a pentatonic subset where 1\24 is not used as a step; used in folk music).
The six possible pentachords in semaphore[9]: 4411 4141 4114 1441 1414 1144
Common pezeoms are:
- C-Dh-F-G-Ah-C (symmetric semaphore)
- C-Dh-Eh-G-Ah-C
- C-D-Eh-G-Ah-C (8:9:12:14 extended to an essentially tempered 9-odd limit pentad)
- C-D-E-G-A-C (meantone major pentatonic)
- C-D-F-G-Bb-C
- C-Eb-F-G-Bb-C (rare)
