What is so special about the devils interval (tritone)? I'm interested in learning more of the Devil's interval: how it originated, some of its uses and what exactly about the interval of a diminished fifth makes it sound ominous?
Whats the difference between the tritone and the blue note? A tritone is simply an interval of three tones So we can say that a note an interval of a tritone above the root could have the same frequency as a 'blue note' played between the fourth and fifth That's not to say that a tritone above the root is a blue fifth though - blue notes are more complex than that
theory - Why are diminished fifths called tritones? - Music: Practice . . . A tritone is in fact an interval of three whole tones, so an augmented 4th A diminished fifth is not technically a true tritone (although it is the complementing interval of a true tritone), but enharmonically it is the same interval And this is sufficient for modern practise to consider a diminished fifth to be tritone
intervals - Why are tritones not consonant, confusion with the . . . The tritone must have come from the devil! ;) Why? As we hear the perfect fifth above the prime the tritone is only a semitone apart from the fifth, that's why we hear a dissonance between them: the tritone and the perfect fifth are colliding together like minor seconds are
modulating by a tritone - Music: Practice Theory Stack Exchange I have heard that modulating by diminished fifth tritone is the hardest of all modulations Interestingly my non-musician husband has just composed a tune with a smooth tritone modulation (ie fro
history - Is the tritone (A4 d5 DA3 Dd6) still banned in Roman . . . The is an acoustic difficulty in non-equal-temperament tunings in representation of the interval A tritone would be 729 512 if using three C-D intervals This is pretty far from the Square Root of two which would divide an octave in half
Is the tritone (diminished fifth) used in alarm sirens? I read that the tritone, due to its dissonant nature, is used for things like police, ambulance, rocket, or tornado sirens Is this true? If so, I am looking for an example of an alarm siren anywhe
