Twelvetone Triads and Hexachords: Part 1 Polychord Structures and Properties

This video tutorial is the first in a series about 12-tone triads, that is, sets of four triads that together cover all chromatic pitch-classes. This episode discusses the pairwise combination of triads in thirds into hexachords. These receive a corresponding Pitch-Class Set prime form label and Hindemith Chord Group classification. Triad pairs are stacked as polychords with a Ulehla Chord Tension Level indication, depending on the distribution of dissonant intervals over the chord structure. The video contains polychord voicing, chord progression and two composition examples.
