Tonal languages are languages in which the pitch or tone used when pronouncing a word can change its meaning. In these languages, different tones can differentiate words that otherwise have the same phonetic structure. For example, Mandarin Chinese is a well-known tonal language with four distinct tones, where the syllable "ma" can mean "mother," "hemp," "horse," or "to scold" depending on the tone used. Other examples of tonal languages include Vietnamese and Thai.
A narrow tonal range is a range that is not much different and does not go from low to high tones. A person with a wide tonal range can hit very low notes and very high notes.
Indian music draws its pitch materials from a greatly expanded set of heptatonic scales called Thaats.
A Tonal
Atonality is characterized by the absence of a tonal center or key, meaning that it does not adhere to traditional harmonic structures found in tonal music. In atonal compositions, no single note or chord is emphasized to create a sense of resolution or hierarchy, leading to a more dissonant and unpredictable sound. This approach allows for greater freedom of expression, as composers explore new musical ideas without the constraints of established tonal frameworks.
