CHROMATIC (Gr. xpcoaruc6s, coloured, from xpwa, colour)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 296 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CHROMATIC (Gr. xpcoaruc6s, coloured, from xpwa, colour) , a
term
  meaning " coloured," chiefly used in science, particularly in the expression " chromatic
aberration
  " or "
dispersion
  " (see
ABERRATION
 ). In
Greek
  music Xpa.waru o) ovoaai was one of
three divisionsdiatonic, chromatic and enharmonicof the tetrachord. Like the Latin color, Xp6 a was often used of ornaments and embellishments, and particularly of the modification of the three genera of the tetrachord. The chromatic, being subject to three such modifications, was regarded as particularly " coloured." To the Greeks chromatic music was sweet and plaintive. From a supposed resemblance to the notes of the chromatic tetrachord, the
term
  is applied to a succession of notes outside the diatonic
scale
 , and marked by accidentals. A " chromatic
scale
  " is thus a
series
  of semi-tones, and is commonly written with sharps in ascending and flats descending. The most
correct method is to write such accidentals as do not involve a
change
  of key.
