In this model a ''chord'' is composed of at least two stacked intervals with frequency ratios taken from the harmonic series in ascending order. The chord should be footed on the tonic of the particular mode. Skipped harmonics within a chord may remain mute. Fig.5 shows a comparison of four augmented chords that sound quite different:
In the model discussed so far a ''chord'' is composed of at least two stacked intervals with frequency ratios taken from the harmonic series in ascending order. The chord should be footed on the tonic of the particular mode. Skipped harmonics within a chord may remain mute. Fig.5 shows a comparison of four augmented chords that sound quite different:
