Pelog: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

Traditionally, there are three ''pathet'', or modes, of Pelog. ''Pelog nem'' (or ''pathet nem'') uses the tones 1 2 3 5 6 with an emphasis on either 6-2 or 5-1 depending on the piece (technically, depending whether the piece is emulating [[Slendro]] manyuro or Slendro songo). ''Pelog barang'' uses 2 3 5 6 7, usually emphasizing 6+2 or 3+7. ''Pelog lima'' is a sort of "odds and ends" for uses of the 1 2 3 5 6 scale that don't really fit into anywhere else. Definitions are somewhat fuzzy and may vary by gamelan master. The 4 tone is not often encountered, and some elaborating instruments lack the tone entirely.

Pelog is well-approximated by the seven note "antidiatonic" ([[2L 5s]]) scale of [[9edo]]. However, ~~it is not exactly 9edo, since~~ in practice Pelog's exact intervals are slightly unequal throughout the scale, while 9edo supposes exactly two interval sizes.

Pelog is well-approximated by the seven note "antidiatonic" ([[2L 5s]]) scale of [[9edo]]. However, in practice Pelog's exact intervals are slightly unequal throughout the scale, while 9edo supposes exactly two interval sizes.
