Pitch Perception
... the same and the second one can be varied in pitch: 1. When second pitch is close, most people think the resultant sound is “consonant” 2. As second sound gets farther away, very few people think sound is consonant 3. After two sounds get to around the distance of a minor third, most people again th ...

Shepard Tones - Virtual Math Museum
... To get the next (or “B”) Shepard tone, each note of the above mixture is increased by a “half-tone”, that is, its frequency is multiplied by the twelfth root of two. And of course the same bell curve again gives the intensity of each note of the mixture. Now our ear hears the note B (again as a ric ...

Serial Music - Toot Hill School
... Serial music (composer: Schoenberg) is built on a scale called a 12 tone row. The tone row consists of one of each of the 12 notes on the keyboard. This is how the tone row is used to create a composition: 1. The 12 chromatic notes (notes that are a semitone apart) are arranged in a specific order, ...
