a twelve-tone choral for four processed voices

when was the last time you felt happy to be alive

Giving 19edo a proper go. I've found the virtually pure 6:5 minor third, 14:13 minor second and 28:27 augmented unison of its meantone tuning [virtually identical to 1/3-comma] very appealing, although it's a tuning system that needs space to really be understood by the ear, so take a seat on the 19edo sofa and feel yourself slowly sink down.

It's a wonder 19(1/3-comma)'s not been more popular (though it has had a small share of keen exponents since the early 16th century) - full circulation and transposability in only 19 keys, each with inframinor, minor, major and ultramajor harmonies available. Here I've made use of the pure minor thirds and slightly beating major thirds on offer. 3:2, 5:4 and 9:5 are all 1/3-comma flat of just, while their inverses 4:3, 8:5 and 10:9 are all 1/3-comma sharp. Still, 1/3-comma (just over 7c) seems like a pleasant little amount of beating most of the time, still only about half of the impurity of 5:4 and 6:5 in 12edo.

Wurly Minors And Enharmonic Tetrachords (17 out of 19edo)

no beats, just noise.
