	Overtone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An overtone is a sinusoidal component of a waveform, of greater frequency than its fundamental frequency.
		Overtone singing, also called harmonic singing, occurs when the singer amplifies voluntarily one overtone in the sequence available given the fundamental tone he/she is singing.
		Overtone singing is a traditional form of singing in many parts of the himalayas; Tibetans, Mongols and Tuvans are known for their overtone singing.

	Tuvan Overtone Singing: Harmonics Out of Place
		Overtone singing is a type of singing in which one or more upper harmonics carry the melody, while the lower harmonics, including the fundamental, sustain a steady drone beneath the melody.
		Hypotheses as to the mechanics of overtone singing range from ideas as to the necessary physical stance and posture used by the singer during a performance, to the actual physical formation of the mouth cavity in producing the overtones.
		In overtone singing, formants are reduced to one or a few harmonics, often with surrounding harmonics attentuated as much as possible.

		he overtone series, also called the harmonic series, is a naturally occurring phenomenon that reflects the inner laws of creation and is the very essence of music.
		The overtone series is the audible example of natural law, the law of our solar system, and the basis for the science of acoustics.
		On stringed instruments, the fundamental can be dampened out when the performer applies a light pressure at one of the proportional locations on the string, thus revealing the rest of the sound that was vibrating as part of the pitch, and thus creating a sound at a higher frequency.

	Sound Quality or Timbre
		Some musical sound sources have overtones which are not harmonics of the fundamental.
		While there is some efficiency in characterizing such sources in terms of their overtones, it is always possible to characterize a periodic waveform in terms of harmonics - such an analysis is called Fourier analysis.
		It is common practice to characterize a sound waveform by the spectrum of harmonics necessary to reproduce the observed waveform.

	Overtones and Harmonics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The term overtone is used to refer to any resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency - an overtone may or may not be a harmonic.
		Other sound sources such as the membranes or other percussive sources may have resonant frequencies which are not whole number multiples of their fundamental frequencies.
		All harmonics are overtones for an open air column or a string.

	Overtone Series
		There are two reasons to stop the series: 1) the frequencies exceed the range of human hearing 2) overtones get weaker as they get higher, which is to say that the fundamental mode of vibration is dominant in determining the perceived pitch, while the overtones provide color or timbre to the sound.
		The first observation that can be made about the overtone series is that its lower elements together form a MAJOR seventh chord, lending weight to the words of taxonomic distinction "major" and "minor".
		So now the the equal tempered G and its overtones will beat with those of the C, where this would be minimized if the G were tuned using the 1.5 factor.

	Definition: overtone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		overtone: Of a sinusoidal wave, an integral multiple of the frequency, i.e., the fundamental, of the wave, other than the fundamental itself.
		Note 1: The first overtone is twice the frequency of the fundamental, and thus corresponds to the second harmonic; the second overtone is three times the frequency of the fundamental, and thus corresponds to the third harmonic, etc.
		Note 2: Use of the term overtone is generally confined to acoustic waves, especially in applications related to music.

	Notes on: The Physics of Sound
		The next lowest frequency (the "first overtone") occurs when half of the atoms on one side of the body are moving opposite to the half on the other side, as in the bottom part of the figure.
		In that case, the overtone is called the second harmonic–"second" because its frequency is two times the fundamental.
		The second overtone corresponds to the third harmonic, the third overtone to the fourth harmonic, and so on.

	Overtone singing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Overtone singing, also known as overtone chanting, harmonic singing, or harmonic chant, is a type of singing in which the singer manipulates the harmonic resonances (or formants) created as air travels from the lungs, past the vocal folds, and out the lips.
		It is usually differentiated from overtone singing by the application of a harsh voice or some constriction in the larynx.
		The overtones are clearly heard when the partials of a sound wave produced by the human voice are selectively amplified by changing the shape of the resonant cavities of the mouth, larynx and pharynx.

		To understand how the scale arises from the overtone series, imagine vibrations on a string of fixed length, which is fixed at both ends (e.g.
		The actual vibration may be very complicated, but can be broken down into basic units called "modes" of oscillation, each of which is a sine wave.
		Starting with G3 (196.5 Hz), one gets an overtone defining D. Starting with D, the notes A and F# are overtones.

		If we continue to add new pitches that are multiples of the fundimental, we call these multiples overtones or harmonics.
		The overtone series forms the basis for tonal music of the common practice period.
		As we move from left to right (farther away from the fundamental) the frequencies are not as closely related, and so we consider those intervals more dissonant.

	THE OVERTONE SERIES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It does not take long to notice that many notes can be played on any of the brass instruments without depressing any valves or moving the slide.
		The lowest pitch in the overtone series is referred to as the "fundamental." All pitches above the fundamental are called "overtones" or "harmonics." A new overtone series is created when the instrument's valves are depressed, or in the case of the trombone, the slide position is changed.
		For each one of these valve combinations, or slide positions, a new overtone series is formed.

	Music Physics
		Amazingly enough, when the overtones are close to even multiples of the fundamental frequency, our brains interpret the whole conglomeration of frequencies as a single pitch.
		Different instruments differ in the relative strengths of the various overtones, and that is what gives the instruments different timbres.
		In the case of cymbals, gongs, snare drums, and the other indefinite-pitch percussion instruments, there are so many frequencies and overtones all at the same time that our brains don't pick out a definite pitch.

	The Pulsation Modes of Mira Variables
		Theoretical models of red giant pulsation show that as a star evolves up the AGB, it develops unstable overtone modes, the most unstable of which becomes of lower order as luminosity increases: towards the end of the AGB the fundamental is the most unstable mode (Fox and Wood 1982).
		As a general consideration, overtone pulsators are expected to have amplitudes which are smaller than those of fundamental-mode pulsators.
		Finally, if it assumed that the Miras are first- overtone pulsators, then the predicted fundamental-mode sequence is unpopulated, in spite of the fact that models exhibit strong instability for the fundamental mode.

		The first overtone (200 cps) is also called the second partial or harmonic.
		The seventh partial is red because it is noticeably flat to F. Of course all the partials are in tune with the root.
		The limitations of equal temperament cause all but the octaves to be slightly out of tune with tempered notes.
