	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Pitch (music) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Pitch is something perceived by the human ear, as opposed to frequency, the physical measurement of vibration.
		Pitches may be described in various ways, including high or low, as discrete or indiscrete, pitch that changes with time (chirping) and the manner in which this change with time occurs: gliding; portamento; or vibrato, and as determinate or indeterminate.
		Pitches are named with integers because of octave and enharmonic equivalency (for example, C# and Db are the same pitch while C4 and C5 are functionally the same, one octave apart).

		Pitched roofs are often covered with asphalt shingles (in the US and most of eastern Canada) although thatch, wood shake, steel, corrugated galvanized iron, slate and tile roofs are used elsewhere.
