’Toward the Continuum’ - Polychromatic composition by Dolores Catherino

A musical journey toward hearing and expressing an undivided pitch Continuum. Suggesting infinite polychromatic auditory ’pitch-colors’, currently expressed only in gradations of our black and white, monochromatic language. This is a polychromatic composition with 106 pitches per octave. It is a ’bridge’ composition intended to expand aural perception and awareness of microtonal pitch ’color’ and harmony within a quasi-conventional musical context. This is a composition expressed with the hope of expanding the traditional (absolute) conception of fixed pitch/intervals in music toward awareness of an undivided continuum of (relative) spectral pitch ’colors’ and interrelationships.
