My husband’s Counterpoint teacher, Hugo Norden of Boston University, wrote the “counterpoint” section in the Harvard Dictionary of Music.

I’ve got the Oxford but not the Harvard. (Oh, boy, another book to put on my list!)

I know, but do we know the tunes they played and sang?

[HiTech RedNeck]

What you are thinking of as a "third" was actually an augmented fourth in modern terms -- that's why it was considered the "devil's interval" - it sounded like the devil (still does). That term, by the way, didn't show up until much later, the medievals called it a "wolf interval" because it howled like a wolf.

Splitting an octave exactly in half does have an otherworldly quality. But it sounds fine as part of our modern seventh chords.

Mr Mitchell realised the patterns on the cubes seem to match a phenomenon called cymatics or Chladni patterns

I think I heard the tune before....."Row, Row, Row your boat..."

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

All black notes ;-).
Pentatonic scale stuff.
