In music, a change is any order in which a number of bells are struck, other than that of the diatonic scale.
In music, the term chromatic means proceeding by the smaller intervals (half steps or semitones) of the scale, instead of the regular intervals of the diatonic scale. The intermediate tones were formerly written and printed in colours.
 Research Chromatic
In music, the term diatonic was originally applied by the Greeks to one of their three genera of music. In modern music it is applied to the natural scale, and to the intervals, chorda, melodies, or harmony characteristic of it. A diatonic chord is a chord having no note chromatically altered. A diatonic interval is an interval formed by two notes of the diatonic scale unaltered by accidentals. A diatonic melody is a melody composed of notes belonging to one scale only.
Research Diatonic
In music a diatonic scale is a scale consisting of eight sounds with seven intervals, of which two are semitones and five are whole tones; a modern major or minor scale, as distinguished from the chromatic scale.
Research Diatonic Scale
In music, do is a syllable attached to the first tone of the major diatonic scale for the purpose of solmization, or solfeggio. It is the first of the seven syllables used by the Italians as manes of musical tones, and replaced, for the sake of euphony, the syllable Ut, applied to the note C. In England and America the same syllables are used by many as a scale pattern, while the tones in respect to absolute pitch are named from the first seven letters of the alphabet.
Dominant is the name given to the fifth note of a diatonic scale.
In music, a double octave is an interval composed of two octaves, or fifteen notes, in diatonic progression.
Research Double Octave
E is the third tone of the model diatonic scale.
In music Fa is a syllable applied to the fourth tone of the diatonic scale in solmization.
Research Fa
In music a fifth is an interval of three tones and a semitone, embracing five diatonic degrees of the scale.
