Garibaldi is a 7-limit (and higher) temperament of the schismatic family. It is an extension of helmholtz temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, 5/4 is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. C-F♭), and the new mapping specific to garibaldi is that 7/4 is mapped to the double diminished octave (e.g. C-Cbb). This makes garibaldi a marvel temperament.

Immediate 11-limit extensions include cassandra (41 & 53), mapping 11/8 to +23 fifths, andromeda (29 & 41), mapping 11/8 to -18 fifths, and helenus (53 & 65d), mapping 11/8 to -30 fifths. Garibaldi is most naturally a 2.3.5.7.19 subgroup temperament due to its immediate availability of 19/16 at the minor third (C-Eb).

Garibaldi was named in honor of Eduardo Sábat-Garibaldi.

Notation

Using garibaldi can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of tertian harmony in circle-of-fifths notation. The just major triad on C is C-Fb-G, for example. One may want to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step, allowing them to write the chord above as C-vE-G.

Cassandra nomenclature
for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
3/2 Perfect fifth C-G
5/4 Down major third C-vE
7/4 Down minor seventh C-vBb
11/8 Double-up fourth C-^^F
13/8 Double-up minor sixth C-^^Ab
19/16 Minor third C-Eb
Andromeda nomenclature for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
11/8 Down diminished fifth
Double-down augmented fourth
C-vGb
C-vvF#
13/8 Double down major sixth C-vvA
Helenus nomenclature for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
11/8 Double-down diminished fifth
Triple-down augmented fourth
C-vvGb
C-v3F#
13/8 Triple-down major sixth C-v3A

Chords and harmony

Traditional tertian harmony is effective. The default triads on the Pythagorean spine are undevicesimal in quality:

  • 1-19/15-3/2 (C-E-G)
  • 1-19/16-3/2 (C-Eb-G)

Note that the major third also represents 24/19, and the minor third, 13/11. These chords are typically associated with a sort of coldness and metalness, like those in 12edo if not more so.

If a warm, sweet, laid-back sound is desired, the thirds can be inflected inwards by a comma to yield

  • 1-5/4-3/2 (C-vE-G)
  • 1-6/5-3/2 (C-^Eb-G)

Contrarily, for a more sour and active sound, they can be inflected outwards by a comma to yield

  • 1-9/7-3/2 (C-^E-G)
  • 1-7/6-3/2 (C-vEb-G)
