| | Tonality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tonal music composed in other scale systems is referred to as microtonal, and while microtonal music draws from tonal theory, it is generally treated separately in text books and other works on music. | | | While tonality is the most common form of organizing Western Music, it is not universal, nor is the seven note scale universal, much folk music and the art music of many cultures focus on a pentatonic, or five note scale, including Beijing Opera, the folk music of Hungary, and the musical traditions of Japan. | | | By contrast: Tonal music may simply be contrasted with atonal music, music which does not feel as if it has a center. |

| | tonality (tōnăl`ĭtē), in music, quality by which all tones of a composition are heard in relation to a central tone called the keynote or tonic. | | | In contrast to tonal music, whose unity is perceived in the primacy of a single construct, the triad (the major or minor chord), serial music is not pitch centric, i. | | | In music that has harmony harmony, in music, simultaneous sounding of two or more tones and, especially, the study of chords and their relations. |

| | Tonality dominated western music for around four centuries, and tonal music still lies at the core of the mainstream classical and popular concert repertoires. | | | Tonal music relies on the division of this spectrum into octaves each of which is divided into the twelve semitones of the chromatic scale. | | | A theoretical study of tonality is concerned with how western culture has systematically organised sound in order to make music. |

| | The Tonal Centre - Tonality |
| | Tonality describes the relationships between the elements of melody and harmony - tones, intervals, chords, scales, and the chromatic gamut; but particularly those types of relationship that are characterised as hierarchical, such that one of the elements dominates or attracts another. | | | The Tonal Centre is an interactive site for music composers and theorists which explains and demonstrates some of the key concepts of tonality; including chords, scales, cadences, and modulation. | | | These alternative tonalities are not generally recognised in conventional music theory, but here's hoping that some of the examples I give can convince you that there is a lot more for the tonal composer to experiment with, and the tonal theorist to analyse, than just the major and the minor scale. |

| | Tonality, Modality and Atonality |
| | Tonal music is at least as common today around the world as it was between 1600 and 1910, and examples of tonality certainly exist prior to 1600. | | | Tonal music, hence tonality, is that which conforms to major and minor keys and has, at least a minimal pc hierarchy (a tonic and probably also a dominant). | | | This confines tonality to the Western tradition after the mid-seventeenth century, and seems to deny tonality to music outside the Western tradition; i.e., non-Western music evidently has no tonality. |

| | Tonality actually means the state of having a pitch-the tonic, as it is most simply called-that has authority over all the other tones; the systematics of this leading"note quality has been the preoccupation of our music. | | | Tonality, as should be clear by now, is an ideology in purely musical terms, and one that perseveres. | | | The rise of tonality similarly coincided with the coming to power of symmetrical thinking and the recapitulating musical structure, the possibility of attaining a certain closure by means of a certain uniformity. |

| | The story Rattle tells, with rare straightforwardness and objectivity, is that of the transformation of tonal language in music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. | | | Their influence, or at least complementary effect, on one another is seen and heard constantly in director Peter West's juxtaposition of music, words and images. | | | Dissonance abounded in European music from the Middle Ages onward; and Beethoven, Berlioz, Schumann and Liszt, among other 19th-century composers, routinely defied conventions of tonality and musical structure. |

| | Aspects of Early Major-Minor Tonality: Chapter 3 |
| | It is here that a narrow application of Schenker's concepts may reveal ways in which this music is not strictly tonal. | | | In the various attempts to apply Schenker's theory to pre-seventeenth-century music, it was frequently the structure proposed for the more remote levels that was the most problematic. | | | In particular, their ability to play "fast notes" led to the development of melodic patterns, diminutions, that reinforced the inchoate sense of harmonic structure in the music. |

| | Evaluating Prolongation in Extended Tonality |
| | Considerations in the evaluation of chordal salience include tonal function, acoustical stability, motivic significance, and participation in a reference collection. | | | While a true prolongational perspective cannot be extended to address most post-tonal music, it may be possible to salvage a prolongational approach in a restricted body of post-tonal music that retains some features of tonality, such as harmonic function, parsimonious voice leading, or an underlying diatonic collection. | | | Provided an alternative means for deciding what chords are structural in non-tertian music, contrapuntal lines passing between any two structural chords can still aid in hearing a passage as a prolongation. |
