Schillinger's Theory of Pitch-Scales: First Group Part 1

In the Schillinger System of Musical Composition Book 2 discusses pitch-scales. In the first group we find the scales with a single root and a total range of less than one octave. The generalized approach finds all possible scales through combinations and permutations of interval-units. A scale is an ordered series of between 1 and 12 pitch-units, and this video looks at the characteristics of the First Group scales with 2, 3 and 5 pitch-units. The approach to diatonic 7-pitch scales is based on the combination of tetrachord types. Application examples demonstrate the construction of a melodic continuity from a series of melodic forms and the superimposition of an attack-duration rhythm pattern.
