| |
| Microtonal music makes use of intervals smaller than the smallest common interval in Western music theory, the half step (semitone). In Western music theory, the semitone is of a fixed size, exactly one-twelfth of an octave.
| |
| | |
| Many folks have proceeded most obviously from the half step by dividing it into equal parts, which results in quarter-tones, eighth-tones, twelfth-tones, etc. In any case you're dealing with a lot more than twelve notes per octave.
| |
| | |
| Macrotonal music, on the other hand, only uses intervals which are larger than the semitone (but not necessarily multiples of it). Dividing the octave eight equal ways, for example, is a macrotonal tuning.
| |
| | |
| == What is xenharmonic music? ==
| |
| Xenharmonic is a term coined by the late Ivor Darreg, from Greek //xenos// "strange, foreign" + //harmonikos// "sound, harmonic" to classify music in tunings that are definitely aurally distinct from the typical twelve tone equal tuning.</pre></div>
