	Fort Minor - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		Fort Minor is a wholly unique, unadulterated hip hop album, owing as much to Shinoda's polished lyricism as his musical adeptness.
		The variety of themes, styles, and moods he creates make this "side project" likely to do much more than simply satisfy existing LP fans; it threatens to expose Shinoda as a rap devotee who is as at home in hip-hop as he is in the cross-genre hybrid of Linkin Park.
		I had to write a song about it." With Fort Minor and The Rising Tied, Shinoda appreciated the chance to tackle a new theme outside the normal subject matter of Linkin Park.

	Minor scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A minor scale in musical theory is a diatonic scale whose third scale degree is an interval of a minor third above the tonic.
		Minor modes use the same set of key signatures as major modes; whichever signature corresponds to the step pattern of the natural minor scale is considered the key signature for that minor mode.
		The relative major is found by raising the minor tonic note by a tone and a semitone, which is three half-steps in equal temperament, and in any event an interval of a minor third.

	Scale and key
		This property is universal in the diatonic system: the relative minor of a major key is built on the sixth degree of its scale.
		The relative major of a minor key is built on the third degree of its scale (G maj. = E min., F min.
		MINOR: There are three types of minor scales: natural minor (the one that matches the key signature), harmonic minor (altered to include the leading tone), and melodic minor.

	Musical Tuning for a Polyphonic Era
		This tuning system compromises one of the fourths and fifths, that between D and A. All of the major thirds and minor sixths are consistent but one of the minor thirds, D to F, and the corresponding major sixth, F to D are also compromised.
		In the same way that a tone may contain higher harmonic frequencies which are multiples of the fundamental it may also contain lower frequencies which are sub-multiples of the fundamental.
		The interval between the fourth and fifth subharmonics, (5 / 4) is a major third and the interval between the fifth and sixth, (6 / 5) is a minor third.

	Major second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A major second or whole tone is one of three commonly occurring musical intervals that span two diatonic scale degrees; the others being the minor second, which is one semitone smaller, and the augmented second, which is one semitone larger.
		The major second is abbreviated as M2 and its inversion is the minor seventh.
		It occurs naturally and most memorably between the 1st and 2nd degrees of a major scale, as the tonic rising melodically to the supertonic (the familiar Do-Re sung in solfege).

	Scales that aren't Major or Minor
		In both the chromatic and the whole tone scales, all the intervals are the same.
		For major and minor scales, there are seven notes; for pentatonic, five; for a chromatic scale, twelve.
		Some, like the whole tone scale, are invented by composers exploring new ideas; some, with names such as "Persian" and "Hungarian", are based on the music of other cultures.

	Temperament
		A mean tone temperament is a system of tuning which seeks to close the overlap in the circle of fifths by reducing the size of most of the fifths.
		The pattern of intervals in the new scale is exactly the same as that in the old (tone, tone, semitone; tone; tone, tone semitone) so this is not a different mode, it is a different key, the same mode but from a different starting note.
		In the melodic minor scale, suited to melody, the sixth and seventh degrees are raised a semitone to major intervals in an ascending scale but the minor form is used in a descending scale.

		So if C major has C as a tonic, and A natural minor has A as a tonic, then it follows that even though they contain the same notes, the fact that the tonic is different explains their difference in sound.
		In A natural minor, the G does not behave this way, because it is a full whole step away from A. In this case, we call the G the subtonic.
		The melodic minor differs from the harmonic minor at the sixth tone; The melodic minor differs from the natural minor at the sixth and seventh tone.

	Musical Scales
		If we call either a major or minor tone just a tone, then a semitone squared is only a little larger, 1.137, so rather loosely we can speak of tones and semitones, with a tone equal to two semitones (i.e., the square in frequency ratio).
		The relation between the perceived tone and the physical stimulus is complex, but on an elementary level the simplest sensations of pitch are related to the frequency of sinusoidal vibrations, an observation known as Ohm's Law.
		A minor third is c and d#, an interval of a tone and a half, while the major third is c to e, an interval of two tones.

		The 3rd of the minor scale must be raised (to form a major 3rd) to produce the tritone, (see lesson 12 - the tritone), that unsettles the dominant 7th thereby providing the pull back to the tonic.
		What distinguishes the new melodic minor scale from the harmonic minor scale in the previous section is that the scale is not the same down as it is up.
		Because the key signatures for A flat major and f minor are identical, f minor is said to be the relative minor to A flat major and A flat major is said to be the relative major to f minor.

	Tonalsoft Encyclopaedia of Tuning -- W. S. B. Woolhouse's 'Essay on musical intervals', (c)1999 by Joe Monzo
		Singers and performers on perfect instruments must all temper their intervals, or they could not keep in tune with each other, or even with themselves; an on arriving at the same notes by different routes, would be continually finding a want of agreement.
		Woolhouse, in stating that equal temperament is rightly the long established basis of tuning, really went too far and overlooked the fact of experience that the deviations of equal temperament from the just ratios are so large that they really do have an appreciable effect on the sound of music performed in equal temperament.
		to ascertain the particular values which must be assigned to the *tone* and diatonic semitone, so that all the concords shall be affected with the least possible imperfections; and this we shall effect by the principle of least squares.

	The Creation of Musical Scales, part II
		The instrument, which could give to man the fundamental tone for a musical scale, which was in perfect harmony with the universe, was the key to earthly paradise, and essential to the security and evolution of the society.
		The two different intervals of a tone in this scale was for that reason modified during the 17th century into a mean or average of the major and minor tone.
		For the old Chinese the tuning of their fundamental tone, Kung, was a matte of outmost importance for their civilization and had to be in alignment with the Cosmic tone so the celestial influence could be channel into the society by music.

		The next tones in the spiral are B and C sharp, the interval between B and C sharp is a major second.
		The tone is closer to Ab and books that list A natural as being the 13th partial in a harmonic series with C as generator are not correct.
		Whereas dissonances in general are produced by a tone or tones disturbing a chord, and may therefore be resolved within that chord, the seventh is an integral part of a chord to be resolved as a whole into another chord.

	Bill Alves - The Just Intonation System of Nicola Vicentino (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Vicentino defines the genera with the traditional tetrachords: the diatonic consisting of some combination of two whole tones and a semitone; the chromatic with two semitones, one major and one minor, and a minor third; and the enharmonic with two dieses (intervals smaller than a semitone) and a major third.
		This choice is particularly puzzling for the interval of the minor tone, which would have been closer to the midpoint between the adjacent steps if Ptolemy's simpler ratios 12/11 or 11/10 had been chosen.
		In his archicembalo tuning the minor diesis varies in size from 13 to 65 cents, so that the comma would not be a constant interval.

	iBreatheMusic Forums - Melodic Minor
		When I was taught the melodic minor it was always played as a natural minor ascending and as a melodic minor descending.
		The Melodic minor scale is played with raised scale degree 6 and 7 ascending and as a natural minor descending.
		The reason for this is that composers thought that the natural minor (aeolian) lacked a sence of resolution to scale degree 1, the tonic.

		In melodic minor, the 6th and 7th tones are raised.
		(The 6th and 7th tones are one tone away from each other.) If the F# and G# were the raised 6th and 7th tones, that would mean that the key we would be considering would be A-minor.
		We now know that this excerpt is in A-minor, because of the presence of the leading tone to A-minor (G#).

		After looking at 2 different minor scales, I noticed that the Harmonic Minor was the one that matched the minor chords I learned.
		It is certainly possible to play a melody from the Harmonic Minor scale, but that big awkward jump gives it an instantly recognizable sound that isn't applicable to a wide range of situations.
		The harmonic minor scale itself isn't used much at all (it's almost more of a theoretical entity than a practical, musical one) - unless you actually want that "exotic" sound of course.

		In fact, the latter frequency is 440.00 over 2 to the 9/12 power (A is the 9th tone up from C in our 12-tone chromatic scale--use your calculators).The interval is a major 6th.
		Now look at this: In the whole tone succession between C and E, F and A, or G and B; the respective middle tones: D, G, and A represent "mean" values between the 3rds: As a test, let's multiply C times E: 263.18 x 328.975 = 86,579.6405.
		A perfect major 3rd is generated from a "major" tone (9/8) and a "minor" tone (10/9)--where the product is obviously 10/8 or 5/4.

	Introduction To Temperaments
		In the harmonic minor scale, there are three half steps (1 ½ tones) between Ab and B. These scales have in fact been in use for the last four hundred years.
		The whole tone steps are produced from two different ratios: 9/8 which is a major whole tone, and 10/9 which is a minor whole tone.
		In order to tune a keyboard instrument, in which all 24 major and minor keys (from C major to B minor inclusive) are virtually in perfect tune, requires a minimum of 31 notes to the octave!

		Not only should the tendencies of tendency tones be respected, but tendency tones should not be doubled, since to do so reinforces the obvious and since it can lead to parallel octaves.
		For instance, if two voices are both on the leading tone and each leading tone progresses as it should (to the first step of the scale), parallel octaves will result.
		As you know, in both melodic and harmonic contexts the leading tone of a key (7) is a note with a pronounced tendency, and that tendency is to ascend a half-step to tonic (1).

	Interval (music) - Wikinfo
		Typically names with 'minor' or 'major' in them are preferred, so the more correct way to write the interval given in the example is 'minor 7th.' The primary exception to this being in the case of a diminished 7th, which has a specific function within a full diminished 7th chord.
		The interval of augmentation and diminishment is a semitone only in modern equal temperament, where a semitone is exactly half a tone.
		Also this means that an augmented 6th is not generally equal to a minor 7th.

	Theory Question!@#$% [Archive] - Pluh.com Forums
		If we sharp the G and make it E G# B, we now have a leading tone and a chord that really wants to resolve to A. Therefore, since a cute sounding harmony requires a raised 7th, we have a minor scale with a raised 7th.
		Melodic Minor -- Harmonic minor is great, but it doesn't lend itself to a smooth ascending line, since there is a minor third between scale degrees 6 and 7.
		When we raise the 6th a half step as well, we magically eliminate the minor third (since the distance between scale degrees 5 and 6 was only a half step to begin with).

		There are various degrees of harmonic experimentation in Balakirev, such as his clashing of major and minor modalities in a work like In Bohemia (1867; rev. 1906), a reworking of three Czech Themes from a book of tunes by B.M. Kulda.
