Just intonation is any scheme of musical tuning in which the frequencies of notes are related by whole number ratios. Any interval tuned in this way is called a just interval. Another way of considering just intonation is as being based on members of the harmonic series. Thus, although in theory two notes tuned in the frequency ratio 1024:927 might be said to be justly tuned, in practice only ratios using quite small numbers tend to be called just. Intervals used are then usually more consonant, but consonance is not always emphasized or a goal in music written with just intonation.
A number of composers have written music in just intonation without attempting to approximate the chromatic scale. They often impose a limit on how complex the ratios they use are: for example, a composer may write in "7-limit JI", meaning that no prime number larger than 7 features in the ratios they use. Under this scheme, the ratio 10:7, for example, would be permitted, but 11:7 would not be, as all non-prime numbers are octaves of, or mathematically and tonally related to, lower primes (example: 12 is an octave of 6, while 9 is a multiple of 3).
Many composers have written in just intonation, including Glenn Branca, Arnold Dreyblatt, Kyle Gann, Lou Harrison, Ben Johnston, Harry Partch, Terry Riley, LaMonte Young, James Tenney, and Pauline Oliveros.
It is possible to tune the diatonic scale or chromatic scale in just intonation. Many other justly tuned scales have also been used.
The diatonic scale in just intonation
The prominent notes of a given scale are tuned so that the ratios of their frequencies are comprised of relatively small integers. For example, in the key of F major, the ratio of the frequencies of the notes F:C is 2:3, while that of F:Bb is 3:4.
All ratios that involve the prime numbers of 2, 3 and 5 can be built out of the following 3 basic intervals:
from which we get:
- s=16/15 Semitone
- t=10/9 Minor Tone
- T=9/8 Major Tone
It gives rise to scale of key F:
- 6/5 = Ts
- 5/4 = Tt
- 4/3 = Tts
- 3/2 = TTts
- 2/1 = TTTttss
F G A BbC D E F T t s T t T swith ratios w.r.t. F of
G 9/8, A 5/4, Bb 4/3, C 3/2 D 5/3, E 15/8 and F 2/1Why isn't just intonation used much?
It's because for many instruments, you can't change the key of your scale without retuning your instrument. Also the above scale allows a minor tone to occur next to a semitone. This produces the awkward ratio 32/27 for Bb/G, so one needs to avoid such a combination of notes. Such an interval is called a wolf interval. (You can have more frets on a guitar to handle both G's, 9/8 with F and 10/9 with F so that Bb/G will become 6/5 while C-G is still 3/2)
If the value of the major and minor tones are adjusted so that they are both equal, one gets a meantone temperament. If in addition the semitone is altered so that an interval of two semitones is equal to one tone, you get the 12 notes used in modern Western music (see equal temperament), which allows one to travel through twelve equally consonant and dissonant keys.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Justice is a concept involving the fair and moral treatment of all persons, especially as regards social rules. It is often seen as the continued effort to do what is "right".
Classically, justice was the ability to recognise one's debts and pay them. It was a virtue that encompassed an unwillingness to lie or steal. It was the basis for the code duello. In this view, justice is the opposite of the vice of venality.
In jurisprudence, justice is the obligation that the legal system has toward the individual citizen and the society as a whole.
Justice (in both senses) is part of the debate regarding moral relativism and moral absolutism: Is there an "absolute standard" of justice, under which all behavior should be judged, or is acceptable for justice to have different meanings in different societies? Some cultures, for instance, see punishments such as the death penalty as being appropriate, whilst others decry such acts as crimes against humanity.
See also: civil justice, court, criminal justice, ethics, individual rights, morality, social control, social justice, virtue
Justice is also the title used by the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. The court is composed of the Chief Justice of the United States, and eight Associate Justices.
Justice is the English name of the Greek goddess Themis, or the Roman goddess Justitia.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | ELECTRICITY, n. The power that causes all natural phenomena not known to be caused by something else. It is the same thing as lightning, and its famous attempt to strike Dr. Franklin is one of the most picturesque incidents in that great and good man's career. The memory of Dr. Franklin is justly held in great reverence, particularly in France, where a waxen effigy of him was recently on exhibition, bearing the following touching account of his life and services to science: "Monsieur Franqulin, inventor of electricity. This illustrious savant, after having made several voyages around the world, died on the Sandwich Islands and was devoured by savages, of whom not a single fragment was ever recovered." Electricity seems destined to play a most important part in the arts and industries. The question of its economical application to some purposes is still unsettled, but experiment has already proved that it will propel a street car better than a gas jet and give more light than a horse. |
