., Scales In an Indian Raga (improvisation form),  a melody is based on one constant scale, no harmonic aspect,  giving the melody a very extended, intense & broadly developed experience.   In the West. Medieval Modes were the basis of chant in the Church.   In The High Baroque Period (. Bach, Vivaldi),  Major & Minor Scales were the rage.  Each tone of the Chromatic Scale had its own "Key" , its own scale. Equal Temperament  made it possible to play each scale "in Tune".  Key signatures were born.  Composers were free to boldly  explore new worlds of sound.   At the turn of the 2oth Century,  scales were used in new ways.   Late Romantic composers explored the deeply emotional qualties that the Chromatic Scale provided,  including very complex harmonic progressions.   Claude Debussy explored the mysterious, otherworldly qualties of the whole-tone scale. -  both  melodically & harmonically.   Arnold Schoenberg ( & his friends Berg & Webern )  turned the music world upside-down, when he declared that all 12 tones of the Chromatic Scale were equally important.  No central tone or "Tonic" ( 1 or Do of the scale ) . Serialism was born. The Chromatic Scale was organized in any way desired creating a "Tone Row".   A Series of tone rows was the basis of a music composition.  Consonance & Dissonance were completely in the mind of the listener.   Pierre Boulez & Karlheinz Stockhausen discovered that tone rows could be spatialized. Pointillism allowed each tone of a melody to hop or jump to any part of the performers instrumental or vocal range.   The Octave is usually divided into 8 tones, a mix of whole & half tones.  Composers around the world have explored dividing the octave into any number of parts. Quarter-tone scales.  Tones in a scale can be any distance apart.  Your Creative Ear, or musical traditions, decide any combination of tones you want to call a scale. , , ,
