Gadhafi’s Betrayal in Harmonic Series Tuning

This is a piece written for a small ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, French Horn and Percussion in harmonic series tuning using a section from harmonic 12 to 30 reduced to an octave tuning of 15 steps.

This piece is written in response to Gadhafi sending fighter jets to bomb Lybia's own citizens.

The score was realized in Sonar X1 and Garritan Personal Orchestra 4

Hey, this is deliciously melancholic. Another dictator, another xentonal
piece. It's the sort of feet-firmly-placed-in-the-ground headlines
realism in compositional subjects that are needed to draw the attention
of the world to what is being done in these forums.

Next I assume you'll tackle Tayyip Erdogan, the greatest of all
political manipulators and feigned-democracy hypocrites the world has
ever seen. :)

May I suggest maqam Hijaz within this scale (boldened) I concocted for a
project I pursue with Aaron Andrew Hunt:

Mixture of Turkish and Arabic intonations of Hijaz, Humayun, and Zirgule
with perde dugah on D by Dr. Oz.
|
* 0: 1/1 0.000 unison, perfect prime (C)*
1: 25/24 70.672 classic chromatic semitone,
minor chroma
* 2: 55/49 199.980 quasi-equal major second (D)*
* 3: 40/33 333.041*
4: 63/50 400.108 quasi-equal major third
5: 147/110 501.975
* 6: 25/18 568.717 classic augmented fourth*
* 7: 3/2 701.955 perfect fifth*
8: 7/5 582.512 septimal or Huygens' tritone, BP
fourth
* 9: 165/98 901.935*
* 10: 25/14 1003.802 middle minor seventh
11: 297/160 1070.869
12: 441/220 1203.930 Werckmeister's undecimal
septenarian schisma +1 octave*

Try D Eb F# G A Bd C d ascending and d C Bb A G F# Eb D descending.

Cordially,
Oz.

Thanks for the listen, comment, and suggestion!

I will take you up on that - I already put it into scala format.
