Original Wikitext content:
72-tone equal temperament (or 72-edo) divides the octave into 72 steps or //moria//. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in 12-tone equal temperament. 72-tone is also a superset of [[24edo|24-tone equal temperament]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music. Composers that used 72-tone include Alois Hába, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Julián Carillo (who is better associated with [[96edo|96-edo]]), Iannis Xenakis, Ezra Sims, James Tenney and the jazz musician Joe Maneri. 72-tone equal temperament approximates 11-limit [[JustIntonation|just intonation]] exceptionally well. The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12-tone, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the major third (5/4) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other major intervals are one step flat of 12-et while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh (7/4) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth (11/8) is 33. 72 is an excellent tuning for [[Gamelismic clan|miracle temperament]], especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank three temperament prodigy. ==External links== * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/72_tone_equal_temperament|Wikipedia article on 72edo]] * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/72_tone_equal_temperament|OrthodoxWiki Article on Byzantine chant, which uses 72edo]] * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Maneri|Wikipedia article on Joe Maneri (1927-2009)]] * [[http://members.aon.at/ekmelischemusik/|Gesellschaft für Ekmelische Musik]], a group of composers and researchers dedicated to 72edo music * [[http://www.72note.com/|Rick Tagawa's 72edo site]], including theory and composers' list * [[http://dannywier.ucoz.com|Danny Wier, composer and musician who specializes in 72-edo]]
