In this segment, we&#8217;ll be looking at the perception of the tritone in the past and present.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;How Dare You Play The Devil&#8217;s Interval In Church&#8221;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The tritone was discovered several centuries ago when trained musicians were basically church men.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m talking about a generation where music was considered as a sacrifice unto God.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about the dark ages (between 400-1400 AD) commonly referred to as the Medieval times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In Medieval times, church musicians did their best to make sure that their music was acceptable unto God. Hence, their music was primarily based on pleasant and agreeable intervals and chords because they were considered to be pure and perfect.<\/p>\n<p>They did their possible best to avoid harsh and unpleasant intervals which they considered to be imperfect.<\/p>\n<p>All perfect fourth intervals were used in church music save the tritone (an imperfect fourth interval) found between the F and B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,B,&amp;color=6699FF&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which was attributed to the devil because of its instability. The use of the devil&#8217;s interval was forbidden in the church from the Medieval ages till the 19th century when musicians gradually started incorporating it into their music for effect.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, it was improper to play the tritone (a devilish interval) in church. Those who played the devil&#8217;s interval in church risked being excommunicated from the church.<\/p>\n<h3><em>&#8220;The Devil You Know Is Better <del>Than The Angel You Don&#8217;t Know<\/del>&#8220;<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>When musicians of previous generations attributed the tritone to the devil, little did they know that a time would come when the tritone will gain acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>In modern times, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/yesterdays-dissonance-todays-consonance\">dissonances of yesterday have become the consonance of today<\/a>. Musicians over the years have invested time to study and understand the properties, qualities, and application of the devil&#8217;s interval.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The devil&#8217;s interval has finally made it to church.<\/strong> If you listen to gospel music, you&#8217;ll hear tons of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/forming-tritonic-chords-with-diminished-triads\">tritonic chords<\/a> used with subtlety and understanding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The devil&#8217;s interval has finally made it to church.<\/strong> One of the easiest keywords to attract church musicians with, is the tritone!.<\/p>\n<p>Through the knowledge of the nature of the tritone, the church and church musicians have embraced and harnessed the tritone they once forbade.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>The tritone is the third and seventh tone (aka &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hearandplay.com\/main\/skeleton-in-the-chordboard\">skeleton<\/a>&#8220;) of the dominant seventh chord.
