has gloss | eng: In music, pandiatonic chords and successions are those formed freely from all degrees of a diatonic scale without regard for their diatonic function, sometimes to the extent of no single pitch being felt as a tonic. The term was invented by Nicolas Slonimsky to describe examples such as the added sixth or the nonfunctional tonality of composers such as Aaron Copland (in his populist works; Jaffe, 1992), Igor Stravinsky (in his Russian and neoclassical periods), and more recently Steve Reich and John Adams (Jaffe, 1992). |
