about

Melody in 19-division tuning was written for Stephen Altoft in July 2004. The melody covers a span of one and a half octaves, divided into 28 equal steps, each slightly less than a third of a tone. It is based on a cyclic permutation of a set of 5 pitches, which is transposed to different degrees of the 19-note scale, in such a way as to focus attention on fine details and subtle differences in tuning. The pause following each note or phrase of the melody is always the same length as the previous note or phrase.
