A list | A list of xenharmonic listening suggestions! If you think anything should be changed, change it yourself! Or leave a note about it here. | ||
== Curated lists == | |||
'''Highest rated by the Xen Wiki community''' <br /> | |||
See [[List of xenharmonic music by community ratings]]. | |||
'''UnTwelve annual competition winners''' <br /> | |||
[https://untwelve.org/competition Annual Composition Competition pages] by the [[UnTwelve]] foundation. The majority of the dozens of entrants in each year’s competition provide audio files of their compositions for the public to listen to. | |||
== | '''Curated playlist with examples for many different genres''' <br /> | ||
[https://open.spotify.com/user/1218607737/playlist/70d4bxQpwBM4EPvLj0OmhO?si=ADmgFYnhTxGRDENaYK5XGw&fbclid=IwAR0Tw8l31ERv0cUgO-4OrBMu7wp8I38dhGWUGsmFvWo6sLle1FS7ZJQ7z0o Microtonal Spotify Playlist]. Put it on Shuffle and have a great intro to xen in every genre. | |||
'''Sheet music''' <br /> | |||
See [[Scores]]. | |||
'''Classical pieces that were written with microtones''' <br /> | |||
Notable examples from 20th century classical music that briefly use the 7th harmonic, and for the Britten piece, the 11th harmonic as well: | |||
* Ralph Vaughan Williams's [[wikipedia:A_Pastoral_Symphony|Symphony No. 3, A Pastoral Symphony]] from 1922, two horn solos in the 2nd movement | |||
* Benjamin Britten's [[wikipedia:Serenade_for_Tenor,_Horn_and_Strings|Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings]] from 1943, prologue and epilogue | |||
'''Non-microtonal classical pieces translated to microtonal tunings''' <br /> | |||
For a list of pieces that were originally written in a non-xenharmonic context, and then translated into a xenharmonic tuning, see [[Familiar melodies in unfamiliar tunings]]. (''Stephen Weigel's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKNuSRujLPY&list=PLzY9zzOkuloTH7IYBl6AHFcbdM-Qop7u4 YouTube channel], Mike Battaglia's [https://soundcloud.com/mikebattagliaexperiments SoundCloud], and H. Wakabayashi's [https://www.youtube.com/user/inodapicnic YouTube channel] have great examples of these''). | |||
What follows for the rest of this page is a large alphabetical list of as many xenharmonic artists and pieces as the wiki editors could find. It is not filtered or curated by quality, genre, or any other criteria. Feel free to add to it: | |||

A list of xenharmonic listening suggestions! If you think anything should be changed, change it yourself! Or leave a note about it here.
Curated lists
Highest rated by the Xen Wiki community
See List of xenharmonic music by community ratings.
UnTwelve annual competition winners
Annual Composition Competition pages by the UnTwelve foundation. The majority of the dozens of entrants in each year’s competition provide audio files of their compositions for the public to listen to.
Curated playlist with examples for many different genres
Microtonal Spotify Playlist. Put it on Shuffle and have a great intro to xen in every genre.
Sheet music
See Scores.
Classical pieces that were written with microtones
Notable examples from 20th century classical music that briefly use the 7th harmonic, and for the Britten piece, the 11th harmonic as well:
- Ralph Vaughan Williams's Symphony No. 3, A Pastoral Symphony from 1922, two horn solos in the 2nd movement
- Benjamin Britten's Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings from 1943, prologue and epilogue
Non-microtonal classical pieces translated to microtonal tunings
For a list of pieces that were originally written in a non-xenharmonic context, and then translated into a xenharmonic tuning, see Familiar melodies in unfamiliar tunings. (Stephen Weigel's YouTube channel, Mike Battaglia's SoundCloud, and H. Wakabayashi's YouTube channel have great examples of these).
What follows for the rest of this page is a large alphabetical list of as many xenharmonic artists and pieces as the wiki editors could find. It is not filtered or curated by quality, genre, or any other criteria. Feel free to add to it:
