Topic: Tierce


  
  Grodin Tierce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tierce began his military career as a stormtrooper under the designation TR-889 and proved himself an exceptional soldier, which is was why he was chosen for training as a Royal Guard by Emperor Palpatine.
In 4 ABY, Tierce was embedded in a stormtrooper unit on Magagran battling one of the Rebel Alliance's cells.
Tierce used Disra and Flim, a con artist who could impersonate Thrawn, to try and overthrow the Republic in chaos (by use of the Caamaas issue) and stop the Empire from pursuing the peace treaty which Admiral Pellaeon, supreme commander of the Imperial fleet, wished.

 The Sound of Bells - tuning of other partials
The tierce is far from quiet, in many bells it is the loudest and longest sustained partial.
While experimenting with this, I discovered that the beats between the tierces of the 11th and 12th of a true-harmonic peal with equal-tempered tierces are actually at the frequency of the prime or strike note of the 10th.
In bells which are true-harmonic tuned, with compatible tierces and strike partials, it has been suggested to me that the intensity and frequency of these three partials can make an audible difference to the sound of the bell.

This consists in thrusting alternately tierce and quarte, either at a target, the height of the breast, or at an antagonist, by engaging or disengaging, while he opposes by forming the parries of tierce and quarte.

If from tierce an adversary should disengage seconde under the hand, instead of under the shoulder of his opponent’s blade, an opportunity for the thrust of octave is offered.

 Flute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally the air-stream is thinner (to vibrate in more modes), faster (providing more energy to vibrate), and aimed across the hole more shallowly (permitting a more shallow deflection of the airstream to resonate).
Almost all flutes can be played in fundamental, octave, tierce, quatre and cinque modes simply by blowing harder and making the air-stream move more quickly and at a more shallow angle.
Flute players select their instrument's resonant mode with embouchure and breath control, much as brass players do.
