Techniques of Polytempic Polymicrotonal Composition

  Continuation of part XIIIa: Trisyllabic and Tetrasyllabic feet for intervallic cells As a continuation of part XIIIa, I will provide more notes and examples of prosody as applied to voice leading , intervallic cells, and a type of loose pitch organization as applicable to any microtonal system used in polymicrotonality . The most important aspect of this technique is the specific use of the ultrachromatic cell , prescribed as the unstressed unit "U." According to which smallest intervallic unit your microtonal system is using, for example, the 92.3 cent microchromatic interval of 13tet , becomes arsis U. (All this is presented in part XIIIa) Thesis "—" then contains the remaining group of intervals still within the microtonal system, but are larger than a microchromatic step. Therefore, the third microtonal scale degree , or larger, will be considered as skips, leaps, and jumps to other pitches. The reader may interpret these other larger intervals in the fr...
