tritone
a ‘tritone’ is the name for the musical interval between two pitches an augmented 4th/diminshed 5th apart. the term ‘tritone’ comes from the fact that the interval between the two pitches is a full three “whole tones” apart. the use of the tritone is common in cl-ssical music where the v-i resolution is present, as well as in jazz and rock whenever a piece or section is in the lydian mode. the interval has a very unstable characterisic and was even known as the ‘devil’s interval’ at one period in music history.
tritones can be heard in the following examples:
-b-ss riff of “jerry was a racecar driver” by primus
-the first two notes of “maria” from west side story (“ma – ree”)
-opening intervals on “purple haze” by jimi hendrix
-opening two notes of the “the simpsons” theme
