In music theory, the chromatic hexachord is the hexachord consisting of a consecutive six-note segment of the chromatic scale. It is the first hexachord as ordered by Forte number, and its complement is the chromatic hexachord at the tritone. For example, zero through five and six through eleven. On C: *C, C, D, D, E, F and *F, G, G, A, A, B. This is the first of the six hexachords identified by Milton Babbitt as all-combinatorial source sets, a "source set" being "a set considered only in terms of the content of its hexachords, and whose combinatorial characteristics are independent of the ordering imposed on this content" . In the larger context of thirty-five source hexachords catalogued by Donald Martino, it is designated "Type A" . Applying the circle of fifths transformation to the chromatic hexachord produces the diatonic hexachord . As with the diatonic scale, the chromatic hexachord is, "hierarchical in interval makeup," and may also be produced by, or contains, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-6, and 3-7 . Serial compositions including Karlheinz Stockhausen's ''Kreuzspiel'' and ''Klavierstück I'' feature the chromatic hexachord in permuted orderings, as do certain pieces composed by Milton Babbitt, Alban Berg, Ernst Krenek, Luigi Nono, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Igor Stravinsky, and Anton Webern in various fixed-order derivations (twelve-tone rows and arrays). Babbitt's Second Quartet and ''Reflections'' for piano and tape feature the hexachord . The retrograde-symmetrical all-interval series employed by Luigi Nono for the first time in ''Canti per tredeci'' in 1955, also used in his ''Il canto sospeso'' and nearly all subsequent works up to ''Composizione per orchestra n. 2: Diario polacco ’58'' in 1959, is built from two chromatic hexachords . Stefan Wolpe's ''Suite in Hexachord'' (1936) begins with a chromatic hexachord on G, introducing the complementary hexachord in the final movement, while Elliott Carter calls his own piece, "Inner Song" for solo oboe—the second movement of ''Trilogy'' for oboe and harp (1992)—"some thoughts about Wolpe's hexachord" . ==See also== *Chromatic fourth *Chromatic tetrachord *Lament bass *Tone cluster 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chromatic hexachord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
