	Musica Ficta Musical Association
		The Musica Ficta Musical Association was founded by a group of musicians and by his present Artistic Director Andrea Angelini.

	Hexachords - Expanding the gamut
		In the early 14th century, musica falsa is synonymous with musica ficta: The use of steps or mutations outside the standard gamut.
		The ficta hexachords of D-B, A-F#, and E-C# accommodate these new mi-degrees; the usual hard (G-E), natural (C-A), and soft (F-D) hexachords comprise the original untransposed musica recta system (Sections 1.3-1.5); and the Bb-G hexachord is part of the musica recta system when transposed by a Bb signature (Section 1.6).
		However, since this Bb3 is musica recta (part of the regular gamut), one could argue that its choice might reflect the traditional fluidity of BfaBmi as well as the liberal use of discretionary ficta inflections illustrated in the example of Prosdocimus.
