''Tetrachords are modules from which more complex scalar and harmonic structures may be built. These structures range from the simple heptatonic scales known to the classical civilizations of the eastern Mediterranean to experimental gamuts with many tones. Furthermore, the traditional scales of much of the world's music, including that of Europe, the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Near East]], the Catholic and Orthodox churches, Iran and India, are still based on tetrachords. Tetrachords are thus basic to an understanding of much of the world's music.'' | ''Tetrachords are modules from which more complex scalar and harmonic structures may be built.
