The tritone, a musical interval spanning three whole tones or six half steps in the chromatic scale, has a distinctive sound and played a significant role in Western music theory and practice. Historically referred to as “diabolus in musica” (the devil in music) due to its dissonant and unstable nature, the tritone was less favored in the modal music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, which preferred more consonant intervals. Its tense and unresolved sound arises because the interval divides the octave into two equal parts, creating a sense of balance that lacks a clear tonal center, making it a powerful tool for creating tension and drama in music.
