The first several pitch sequences are fairly straightforward. Here’s a general description of
each of these sequences:
1. All steps are one octave up.
2. All steps are one octave down.
3. All steps are a fifth up.
4. All steps are a fourth down.
5. Unison & one octave down.
6. One octave down, unison, one octave up, two octaves up.
7. Two octaves down, one octave down, unison, one octave up.
8. One octave down, unison, one octave up, 2 octaves up.
9. Unison, one octave up, unison, one octave up.
10. Unison, one octave up, unison, one octave up, etc.
11. Unison and fifth up.
12. One octave down climbing to unison.
13. Unison, fourth down, one octave down, two octaves down, unison, one octave up.
14. Starts at two octaves down, swoops up to unison and at the 13
th
step jumps up
one octave and ends at unison.
15. Mostly up one octave with a short swoop to unison in the middle, back to an
octave up and ending by swooping to unison.
16. Starts at unison, swoops down two octaves, makes a couple of jumps up one
octave and ends on unison.
17. Starts at unison, swoops down one octave, jumps back to unison, brief jump up
one octave, brief jump to up a fifth and ends on unison.
18. Four quick jumps up one fifth, swooping back down to unison.
19. Swoops from unison up one octave and does it twice.
20. Swoops from up one octave down to unison and does it twice.
21. Starts at unison steps up one octave and steps back down to unison.
22. Staggers its way from unison to up one octave.
23. Similar to 22.
24. Swoops up from unison to one octave up and does it four times.
25. Jumps between unison and octaves and fifths and fourths up and down.
26. Similar to 25.
For those who find the above description less than satisfying the following tables may help. In
these tables, the 26 sequences are labeled at the column heads and, for each sequence, the
16 steps are listed vertically. Pitch sequences marked with an asterisk glide the pitch within a
step in the sequence and an arrow indicates the step in the sequence that glides and the
direction of the glide.
Intervals are indicated as 1oct = one octave, 2oct = 2 octaves, M2 = major second, m2 =
minor second, M3 = major third, m3 = minor third, P4 = perfect fourth, d5 = diminished
fifth, P5 = perfect fifth, M6 = major sixth, m6 = minor sixth, M7 = major seventh, m7
=minor seventh.
