ABSTRACT
The new tonal methods include, but are not limited to, quartal harmonies, polychords, polytonality, bimodality, and odd and changing meters. Quartal and quintal harmonies owe their unique sound largely to their lack of tritones and minor seconds. The effect is mildly dissonant, and their "rootless" quality comes from the stacking of equidistant intervals—the perfect 4th and the perfect 5th. This chapter presents singing exercises for the new tonal methods.
