ABSTRACT: Tritones function as the motor for melody and harmony in 12-tone chromatic systems. Tritone structures, such as diminished chords, seventh, and altered chords from the material of the two whole-tone scales, yield a network of chord reinterpretations. Where conventional (functional) harmony comes up against its historical limits, the basic tritonic shows structured forms of movement even in complex harmonic proceedings. The unity of chromatics and fifths in the case of the (doubled) sustained fifth, the equality of subdominant and dominant chains, make it possible to recreate the modern jazz harmonies of such as Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Lennie Tristano, or Stan Kenton's orchestral arrangements.
