释义

Definition of hexachord in English:

hexachord

noun ˈhɛksəkɔːdˈheksəˌkôrd

    • In the early years of the seventeenth century, English composers increasingly turned to the hexachord as a cantus firmus for keyboard pieces.
    • Medieval diatonicism, which did not include the principle of octave equivalence, was codified by Guido of Arezzo in the early 11th century: it acknowledged notes from G to e, arranged in seven overlapping hexachords.
    • I think one has to admit that in the works where I use the symmetrical hexachord, one probably can't any longer speak of my music as being twelve-tone music, that is, certainly not in the academic sense.
    • At the end, the same six pitch-classes provide the concluding hexachord of the tranquil violin melody.
