Suppose that we limit its range to two octaves, and take for the lowest note the bass C Z LIB**/. CF THE RHYTHM AND HARMONY IN POETRY AND MUSIC. of the male voice, 1 representing 132 vibrations a second, and for the highest note the C two octaves above this, representing 528 vibrations a second. This leaves, be- tween the two notes, ...396 distinct degrees of pitch, and the reading voice is at liberty to use all of these. But the singing voice within the same range can use only twenty-four of them. What is the cause of this difference? Why, within these limits, are the possibilities of pitch in poetry prac- tically unrestricted, and in music restricted so greatly? Undoubtedly it is connected with the fact that, in the one, words are used, and in the other, at least in instru- mental music, sounds without words.
