exposed octaves

So-called hidden consecutives, also called direct or covered octaves or fifths, occur when two independent parts approach a single perfect fifth or octave by similar motion instead of oblique or contrary motion. A single fifth or octave approached this way is sometimes called an exposed fifth or exposed octave.

An octave is the interval between one musical pitch and another with double or half its frequency. For example, if one note has a frequency of 440 Hz, the note one octave above is at 880 Hz, and the note one octave below is at 220 Hz.

The series of notes from d′–d, with the arrangement T–S–T–T–T–S–T, was the Phrygian octave species. Other species were: a′–a, Hypodorian; g′–g, Hypophrygian; f′–f, Hypolydian; c′–c, Lydian; and b–B, Mixolydian.

: an unsounded musical interval of an octave that is implied by the similar up or down motion of two voice parts and that if sounded would produce consecutive octaves.

The word "octave" comes from a Latin root meaning "eight". It seems an odd name for a frequency that is two times, not eight times, higher. The octave was named by musicians who were more interested in how octaves are divided into scales, than in how their frequencies are related.

Direct (or hidden) fifths or octaves results when the outer parts move in the same direction into a perfect octave or perfect fifth with a leap in the soprano part. (

An octave is a musical interval. An octave is defined both in terms of music and in terms of physics: In terms of music, an octave is the distance between one note (like C#) and the next note bearing its same name (the next C# that's either higher or lower).

Definition of an Octave An octave is a type of musical interval, or the measure of the distance between two notes. Specifically, an octave is the distance between one note and another note with the same letter name.

Octave bands in human hearing are developed in the same manner: the range of human hearing (20-20kHz) is divided into eleven octave bands, each band having double the frequency span of the previous band.

About 2 to 3 octaves, but for some artists it can reach further, such as Mariah Carey who has a 5-octave vocal range. Vocal ranges are categorized into six main groups. The way these groups are defined come in handy when singing traditional, arranged music.

Vitas. Vitas is a Russian-Ukrainian artist with an impressive 7-octave vocal range.

: a musical interval embracing eight diatonic degrees. b. : a tone or note at this interval. c. : the harmonic combination of two tones an octave apart.
