Prime
| This article concerns itself with the musical interval. For the project of the European Union, see PRIME. |
Those Prime, more rarely "prime", (v. lat primus = first) a musical interval designates, a repetition of clay/tone and/or. simultaneous ringing out of two equal high tones represents.
Example: C ' - C ' is a pure prime.
Song beginning: Tomorrow (Santa Claus comes)
The reversal in such a way specified, that Complementary interval, C ' - C " is a pure oktave.
C ' - cis ' (a chromatic half-tone) is an excessive prime; a decreased prime does not give it.

The prime in the sequence
Clay/tone repetitions in a vocal or an instrument valley voice can coin/shape the character of a piece of music: </br> A motive, topic, section or whole piece consists only of the Widerholungen and the same clay/tone at least in a voice. Example: Peter von Cornelius (1824-1874): A clay/tone for Singstimme and piano. Here entire text of the song on the same pitch is spoken.
Credit all repeated tones same value, results Monotonie (literal a clay/tone) in the actual. A special tension between monotonousness and variety results, if the tones exhibit different length and a Rhythmisierung takes place.
Bell, Monochord and Muzzle drum can as (single)Instrumente only prime sequences to produce. (see in addition [ 1 ]) in Glaeut to Speyer of Ludwig Senfl (1490-1543) the chime is imitated among other things by clay/tone repetitions on different pitches and with different clay/tone lengths.
The early music is coined/shaped by the prime: Respondieren, Psalmodieren, Rezitationston. Redeuntes compositions. Example: Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643): Marienvesper, Intionatio Deus in adjutorum at the beginning. and still more on that Cembalo a long borne clay/tone must be dissolved by Rhythmisierung due to the short fading time of these instruments. With long borne chords happens usually through Arpeggien ("broken" ).
- In the entrance choir that Matthaeus-Passion from Johan Sebastian brook, BWV 244, is for that ContinuoBass from the beginning "more broken" Point of organ over 5 clocks composes, which is repeated again and again in the course of the sentence on different stages. Due to the instrument technology of Violone and it would not be a problem, a borne clay/tone too plays. Brook composed however clay/tone repetitions in the 12/8-Rhythmus.
- In the Weihnachtsoratorium of the same composer, BWV 248, become in the air Sleep my dearest one, enjoy rest ' both possibilities of one point of organ confronted. The "broken" point of organ symbolizes a weighing of the child, explanation through (1770-1827) March NR. 1 for Military music WoO 18
Gioacchino Antonio Rossini (1792-1868), beginning that Ouvertuere too William Tell The prime in the distance
The prime as interval of a chord is not to be heard, it arise only in the case of different instruments new klangliche colors. It can be however a goal or starting point of two or more being correct lines. arises often in the case of complimentary closing phrases of mehrstimmiger works nearly inevitably, if two voices of the same being correct situation in the same conclusion clay/tone end. A special effect results however, if all voices on the same clay/tone (or its Oktav) end, thus third or Quint is missing. Example: Claudio Monteverdi: Marienvesper, VII. Concerto Duo Seraphim.
Note example from that Marienvesper of Claudio Monteverdi to the prime in the distanceIn a mehrstimmigen sentence, which contains the stages I and V as harmony model only, the same clay/tone can be always sung and played in a voice. This is usually avoided in the classical clay/tone set, accordingly in addition, ideal of the Sanglichkeit also the central voices, this style means can be used purposefully.</br> Examples:
- (1685-1750)
- Kantate Mr. Jesu Christian, truely ' humans and God BWV 127. Sopran air The soul rests. Here the clay/tone repetitions of the two blockfloeten the text symbolize appropriately the dying bell.
- Entrance air that Kantate dearest God, when I will die BWV 8
- MourningMotette BWV 118
- Matthaeus passion BWV 244: In the Rezitativ of the EH gelists And see there, the curtain tore up the Continuo plays to the words and the earth inherit-prays 32tel-Tonrepetitionen.
- In the Schlusschoral of the Kantate Gentleman, does not go into the court the caper inheritance slip clay/tone repetitions plays. Beginning with 16tel however their speed is almost continuously slowed down, which brook by change of the clock (only in the company!), Triolisierung and thus reduction of the number of the repeated tones reaches. This kind of the out-composed continuous slowing down and that Polyrhythmik is only again in modern compositions:
Here appear apart from sequential primen also distante, through Double grasps develop. Here again only sequential primen arise, whereby itself a further possibility results in of arranging one point of organ: 2 melody lines are felt so more ineinder toothed that the tones are played one behind the other alternating, each line however than unit. This technology particularly used for instruments, which can play only one voice, in this way however an apparent Zweistimmigkeit to reach to be able.
