my name is Hexachord, and I approve this message.

Thank you. I joined this group because the idea of improvisation early music was fascinating. But I had no idea how to begin. Now at least I have a framework for starting to hear and think about what to do.

Let us know if you have any specific questions! Happy to help :)

I am just an amateur musician who plays for their own enjoyment, but I do find quite a bit of inspiration in the hexachord. One can, of course, invent all kinds of dynamic, rhythmic, and harmonic variations and adornments, but, as initially worked out by Mersenne and presented in his 'Universal Harmony', there are essentially 720 (six factorial) permutations without repetition available without leaving the span of a hexachord. I often just choose from among these at random and see where it takes me. For anyone who wants to experiment with it, I will try to append that to this comment in markdown text, but not sure if that will work. If not, you can copy it out to any markdown program for better display. |# |Sequence |Solfege | | | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |1|123456|doremifasola|do|re|mi|fa|so|la|

Wow such great work! Indeed, any permutation can lead to different colours and wonderful musical results :).
