As Levitin points out in his book, “It is a natural property of objects in the world that they generally vibrate at several different frequencies at once.” These visualizations above and at right, represent the harmonic series of overtones that occur whenever a single fundamental tone is sounded.

Harmonic series (music)

A harmonic series is the sequence of all multiples of a base frequency. Any complex tone "can be described as a combination of many simple periodic waves (i.e., sine waves) or partials, each with its own frequency of vibration, amplitude, and phase.

Mystic chord

Play . It consists of the pitch classes: C, F♯, B♭, E, A, D. This is often interpreted as a quartal hexachord consisting of an augmented fourth, diminished fourth, augmented fourth, and two perfect fourths. However, the chord may be spelled in a variety of ways, and it is related to other pitch collections, such as being a hexatonic subset of the Overtone scale, lacking the perfect fifth. Nomenclature[edit] The term "mystic chord", appears to derive from Scriabin's intense interest in Theosophy, and the chord is imagined to reflect this mysticism. It is also known as the "Prometheus chord", after its extensive use in his work Prometheus: The Poem of Fire, Op.60. Scriabin himself called it the "chord of the pleroma" (aккорд плеромы - akkord pleromy),[1] which "was designed to afford instant apprehension of -that is, to reveal- what was in essence beyond the mind of man to conceptualize.

Qualities[edit] Synthetic chord's dominant quality[3] Use by Scriabin[edit] Synthetic chord. However, synthetic chords originated not with Roslavets but with musicologist Sabaneev and his study of composer Scriabin's Prometheus published in 1910.[3][4] See: Mystic chord.

Whole tone scale

Augmented triad on D Play . The composer Olivier Messiaen called the whole tone scale his first mode of limited transposition. The composer and music theorist George Perle calls the whole tone scale interval cycle 2, or C2. Due to this symmetry, the hexachord consisting of the whole-tone scale is not distinct under inversion or more than one transposition. Augmented sixth chord.
