Music in Edna's concultures

Liturgical music

Semaphore[9]-based. Netagin music is usually 19edo, but in these contexts, a tuning closer to 24edo is preferred.

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)

Pezeoms in various semaphore[9] modes:

  • 0-200-400-700-900
