scale degrees Explanation: In music theory: (((1))) http://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermė "Dermė (gr. harmonia, lot. modus, pranc. ir angl. mode, Tongeschlecht, Tonart, rus. лад) - muzikos garsų aukščio santykių sistema; konkretus tos sistemos tipas." = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music) "In the theory of Western music, mode (from Latin modus, "measure, standard, manner, way, size, limit of quantity, method") (Powers 2001, Introduction; OED) generally refers to a type of scale, coupled with a set of characteristic melodic behaviours." ... AND ... (((2))) http://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermė "Dermę sudarantys garsai yra vadinami dermės laipsniais" = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(music) "In music theory, a scale degree or scale step is the name of a particular note of a scale[3] in relation to the tonic (the note of the scale that is considered the most important)" For "dermės laipsnis", the full, established term or phrase would be SCALE DEGREE ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_degree ), because "scale" (Lithuanian: gama) is virtually synonymous with "mode". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_degree http://onelook.com/?w=scale degree&ls=a * However, also note in some branches of musical practice and theory (ethnic, pre-classical, avant-garde) there exists a somewhat different usage - "modus", for example. You have to know how the original writer thinks. :) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music) Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_degree Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(music) |
