| | Electronic musical instrument - Patent 4009633 |
 | | As described in my copending patent application no. 553,798, the diatonic scale and the hexachord scale are members of a quintessential series of musical scales which emphasize the musical interval of a fifth (and its complement, the fourth). | | | Whole tone notation is preferred to hexachord notation, except for the particular permutation of tones corresponding to pushbutton 26. | | | Thus hexachord notation allows a fixed and intimate association between the sounds of music and their representation. |

| | hexachord -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! |
| | The hexachord was described in medieval and Renaissance musical theory and was extensively used in the teaching of singing. | | | Its value was that it gave the singer a fixed set of pitch relations by which he could orient himself as he sang; as a practical device it proved an effective way to teach the sight-reading of music and to teach individual melodies. | | | A series of seven overlapping hexachords completed the gamut of formally recognized musical tones, a span of two and one-fourth octaves, containing the notes of the C major scale plus B |

| | Hexachords - Basic System |
| | Either Hucbald's six-stringed lyre or a single hexachord of Guido has limited musical possibilities: Many medieval chants, as well as secular melodies, have a larger range. | | | For the purpose he used the hymn Ut queant laxis [2], which like Hucbald's chant has a range of C-A, and exhibits a protus or Dorian modality, with D as the final or point of repose. | | | While Hucbald's example notated a melody in terms of the six strings of an instrument arranged T-T-S-T-T, it was the innovation of Guido to associate this series of six notes with a set of easily remembered syllables. |

| | MTO 4.3: Mengozzi, Review of Pike, Hexachords in Late-Renaissance Music |
| | It is not clear which theorists Dr. Pike has in mind when he argues that the flat hexachord "was thought of" as "'soft' or 'sweet'," but the fact remains that theoretical discussions of musical affects and the relationship between text and music in the Renaissance are centered on mode, not on hexachord. | | | ABSTRACT: Attempting to appreciate the layers of musical meaning that would be apparent to late-Renaissance expert listeners, Dr. Pike contributes to an interpretation of the repertory of that time that takes into account the meaning of the texts set to music, the circumstances of composition and performance, the musical structure, and the listeners' expectations. | | | It may turn out that hexachord, far from being the key element of a distinct musical language, was little more than a local inflection within the long history of Western diatonic music. |

| | For example, at m239, following a long string of 0257 tetrachords, the A Hexachord returns as both vertical and horizontal arrangements in the strings and piano, on A and Ab, followed by the A Hexachord on D in the piano at the end of the bar, completing the aggregate. | | | Still present, of course, is the predisposition towards the triadic, and while this is not diatonic music, in those 014 collections there is the implication of “major/minor” sonorities, an implication borne out, for example, in the vertical arrangement of thirds in the voices in mm21-22. | | | Both the C Hexachord and its partitions, of which the 0235 and 0257 are the most common, are found throughout the work, but the last movement in particular is saturated with these sounds. |
