Approximate Set Theory: Chord Categories, Voicings, and Interval Cycles
Available to Purchase
Journal of Music Theory (2023) 67 (1): 1–70.
Published: 01 April 2023
.... Since most seven-tone sets are interval cycles, approximate twelve-tone sets are approximately cyclic as well. The theory explains how to highlight this cyclic structure using voicings , modeled by intervals in the intrinsic scale formed from a chord's own notes. This connection to voicing is what gives...
