Raoul Gregory Vitale

Syrian physicist and musicologist from Latakia who argued in 1982 that the Babylonian scale and the h.6 notation run downward. 1928–2003.

Raoul Gregory Vitale is physicist and independent musicologist (1928 to 2003), born in Latakia, taught at the American University of Beirut; author of the descending-scale reading (1928–2003), and appears in the record of Hurrian songs of Ugarit as syrian physicist and musicologist from Latakia who argued in 1982 that the Babylonian scale and the h.6 notation run downward.

One event on the site involves Vitale: Vitale argues the Babylonian scale and the h.6 notation run downward (1982).

One question rest in part on what Vitale did or said, among them “Does the Babylonian tuning series, and so the h.6 scale, run upward or downward?”, which stands open: 3 answers, none ahead.
