  Diapente Viol Consort
DIAPENTE is the ancient Greek and medieval name for the interval of a fifth, and originally means 'through five'.
They called Diapente to life in 2001 in order to perform the most beautiful repertoire of the "golden age" of viol consort music.
Using all instruments of the viol family in various combinations (here: treble, 2 tenors, bass and violone), Diapente seeks to bring out the charm, richness and beauty of its particular and idiomatic repertoire.

  Diapente   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In harmony, diapente is the ratio 3:2 between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 2:3 between a pair of wavelengths.
Diapason is equal to 12 semitones, and diapente is equal to 7 semitones.
Therefore it is possible to play the circle of fifths on a piano without wrapping it into a single octave, but rather playing it as a spiral of fifths.

 The Keys of Atlantis [1]
Thus diatessaron is the interval from hypate to mese, diapente that from hypate to paramese and diapason that from hypate to nete.
Diapente is also the difference tone between the notes defined by the second and third harmonics.
The frequency ratio of the tone is calculated as the quotient of 2:3 (diapente) divided by 3:4 (diatessaron), and is equal to 8:9.

 Diapente
In harmony, diapente is the ratio 3:2 (sesquialterum) between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 2:3 between a pair of wavelengths.
Diapason is equal to 12 semitones, and diapente is equal to 7 semitones.
Therefore it is possible to play the circle of fifths on a piano without wrapping it into a single octave, but rather playing it as a spiral of fifths.

 Ancient Greek Origins of the Western Musical Scale
The intervals of diatessaron or fourth (4 / 3) and diapente or fifth (3 / 2) when combined (multiplied) give the interval of a diapason or octave (2 / 1).
This principle is illustrated in a detail from the painting School of Athens by Raphael (1483 - 1520) on the wall of the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican.
In a diagrammatic representation of a lyra the strings are tuned in the relative proportions VI, VIII, VIIII, XII giving the intervals of an octave (diapason) between VI and XII, fifths (diapente) between VI, VIIII and VII, XII and fourths (diatessaron) between VI, VIII and VIIII, XII.

 Franchinus Gaffurius Glossemata (FR. GAFUR. gloss.)
Cum ergo talis diatesseron intensa erit discordantia, supra ergo in se datur diapente conso­nantis: et compara extrema et patet quod exibit diapason dissonantia quia componitur ex dissonantia et consonantia, scilicet ex diatesseron dicta et diapente sequente.
Diapente est inter 6 et 4, diatesseron vero inter 4 et 3, sed 3 et 4 praecedunt 6 et 4, ergo quaestio est falsa.
Vel dicere pos­sumus, quod prius et posterius est duplex, scilicet prius natura et prius dignitate, et tunc diatesseron est prius natura et tempore quam diapente, quia pars isto modo est prior toto, sed prius di­gnitate prior est diapente, quoniam perfectior est in natura et pro­portione.

 Science Fair Projects - Diapente
In harmony, diapente is the ratio 3:2 (sesquialterum) between a pair of frequencies or, equivalently, the ratio 2:3 between a pair of wavelengths.
It is the arithmetic mean of diapason and unison (considered as frequencies):
In Pythagorean tuning, 12 diapentes are approximately equal to 7 diapasons:

 Genera of Intervals
The diapason plus diapente or twelfth is like the diapente in most all respects and is treated the same way.
The two notes of the diapente have much in the way of similar qualities and thus the diapente must be used with care lest the two voices be heard as one.
Note that when a diapente divides a diapason, the remaining interval is a diatessaron or fourth.

 Alchemy 1
Thus earth and water bear to each other the ratio of 4 to 3, or the diatessaron harmony, and water and the sphere of equality the ratio of 3 to 2, or the diapente harmony.
Fire and air also bear to each other the ratio of 4 to 3, or the diatessaron harmony, and air and the sphere of equality the ratio of 3 to 2, or the diapente harmony.
As the sum of a diatessaron and a diapente equals a diapason, or octave, it is evident that both the sphere of fire and the sphere of earth are in diapason harmony with the sphere of equality, and also that fire and earth are in disdiapason harmony with each other.

 The Pythanorean Theory of Music and Color - The Secret Teachings of All Ages
By similar experimentation he ascertained that the first and third string produced the harmony of the diapente, or the interval of the fifth.
Continuing his investigation, Pythagoras discovered that the first and second strings produced the harmony of the diatessaron, or the interval of the third; and the tension of the first string being a third greater than that of the second string, their ratio was said to be 4:3, or sesquitercian.
As the sum of a diatessaron and a diapente equals a diapason, or octave, it is evident that both the sphere of fire and the sphere of earth are in diapason harmony with the sphere of equality, and also that fire and earth are in disdiapason harmony with each other.

 Feast for senses at Diapente
Among his goals with Festival Diapente, Famiglio said, was to coordinate disparate art forms and sensibilities and show that they can work together in harmony, and even help support and nurture each other.
Because the term "diapente" represents that perfect fifth, he explained, "we've extrapolated it to mean the five senses."
Because Diapente overlaps slightly with the Sarasota Jazz Festival and other annual events -- many of which were in existence long before Festival Diapente's inaugural year -- Famiglio has been able to incorporate artists who are already coming to town into the Diapente proceedings.

 Pythagorean Tuning - More details
This interval is often known as a ditonus cum diapente or major third plus fifth, since it is equal to the sum of these intervals (or the product of their ratios).
A common name for this interval is the semitonium cum diapente, or semitone-plus-fifth, and in fact it is equal to the sum of a fifth (3:2) and our diatonic semitone (256:243); multiplying these ratios yields 128:81.
This interval is known as a semiditonus cum diapente or "minor-third-plus-fifth," and indeed is equal to 32:27 x 3:2, or 16:9.

 MTO 3.1: Review of
Although the diapason has yet to be defined in the treatise as a 2:1 proportion, it may be noted that "ratio," rendered appropriately here as "method," also has overtones of "ratio," a mathematical relationship, a meaning made explicit in the third part of the SE.
This is done so that, when the organal voice is doubled at the diapason and the principal voice is the middle voice, the lower organal voice is separated from the middle voice by a fifth and from the upper voice by a fourth, which is the first composite form of the diapente.
Subsequent passages with parallel language on the second composite type of diapente organum and on organum at the diatessaron should be similarly emended.
