(French)a widely-used on-the-string bowing stroke, also know as 'German détaché'. The player utilizes the middle of the bow, with one note per bow used. When applied to string playing, the meaning should not be translated as 'detached' or 'disconnected' because successive notes must be played with virtually no break or gap between them. Depending on the volume and tone required, the quantity of bow might be a small concentrated stroke, a medium or a broad stroke, the more bow used, the larger the amplitude of vibrating string, and the louder the volume. In every case the player's intention is to produce a singing sustained tone with a seamless or uninterrupted continuation of tone from one note to the next
[information drawn from RDJH Westbury Park String School at the suggestion of William Tabor] |
| although on stringed instruments, détaché is not usually the same as staccato, some writers describe it as such. However the term can mean staccato when applied to playing on non-stringed instruments |
| "In music, is said of notes that are not linked together, that do not form a continuous sound but that are separated by little silences. ... Spiccato means to separate, to disconnect. It is an Italian adjective that is often used adverbially and that means that one must clearly detach or separate the sounds from one another. This applies especially to bowed instruments. It is a little like staccato." - Trévoux (1771) |

| Detroit blues | blues music played by musicians resident in Detroit, Michigan, particularly that played in the 1940s and 50s. Detroit blues originated when Delta blues performers migrated north from the Mississippi Delta and Memphis, Tennessee to work in Detroit's industrial plants in the 1920s and 30s. Typical Detroit blues was very similar to Chicago blues in style. The sound was distinguished from Delta blues by its use of electric amplified instruments and a more eclectic assortment of instruments, including the bass guitar and piano |

| Deuteragonist | an individual who accompanies the main protagonist, the main character or hero, in a narrative. Classical scholars often use the word deuteragonist in a more restricted sense. In the oldest form of classical Greek drama, plays originally consisted of a single character standing on stage speaking with the chorus. Later dramatists introduced the innovation of a second actor (the deuteragonist) who stood on stage and donned a variety of masks to represent the other various characters besides the hero. A still later innovation was the tritagonist, a third character on stage which allowed more complex interactions of dialogue |

| Deuterus | the system of dividing the chant repertory into eight modes had its origins in the eight echoi of the Byzantine chant of the Eastern Church. Various terminologies have been used associated with this 'eight-mode system'. While the most widely used is that employed in the modern official chant books of the Catholic Church, in which the modes are simply numbered 1-8 in Roman numerals, other nomenclature, based upon different mediæval theorists, is also encountered. One of these, familiar to Hucbald (c. 840-930), to the ninth-century authors of the treatises Musica Enchiriadis and Scolica Enchiriadis, and to the author of the ninth- or tenth-century Commemoratio Brevis de Tonis et Psalmis Modulandis, is first found in a late eighth- early ninth-century tonary from S. Riquier (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, lat. 13159) |
| the late eighth- early ninth-century tonary from S. Riquier (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, lat. 13159) lists four modes: protus, deuterus, tritus and tetrardus, respectively, the Greek words for first (D is the finalis), second (E is the finalis), third (F is the finalis) and fourth (G is the finalis), and subdivides each of the four into two, the first of each pair being designated authentus (authentic) and the second plagis (plagal): |
| number | Greek name | Boethian name | as in Alia musica | the notes of the mode
reciting tone in red
finalis in blue |
| 1. | protus authentus | phrygian | dorian | D E F G a b c d |
| 2. | protus plagis | hypodorian | hypodorian | A B C D E F G a |
| 3. | deuterus authentus | dorian | phrygian | E F G a b c d e |
| 4. | deuterus plagis | mixolydian | hypophrygian | B C D E F G a b |
| 5. | tritus authentus | hypolydian | lydian | F G a b c d e f |
| 6. | tritus plagis | lydian | hypolydian | C D E F G a b c |
| 7. | tetrardus authentus | hypophyrigian | mixolydian | G a b c d e f g |
| 8. | tetrardus plagis | | hypomixolydian | D E F G a b c d |
| hypermixolydian | the compass of a plagal mode is generally a fourth lower than the corresponding authentic mode. Today we identify the hypomixolydian as the eighth mode, whose finalis is D, a fourth lower than that of the mixolydian. However, originally the eighth mode was the hypermixolydian, whose pitch duplicates that of the hypodorian but in a higher octave, as specified by Ramis de Pareja (1482) and other commentators of the period |

| Deutsch's scale illusion | discovered by Diana Deutsch, Deutsch's scale illusion is an auditory illusion produced by simultaneous ascending and descending major scales beginning in separate stereo channels with each successive note being switched to the opposite channel. With the left channel: C'-D-A-F--A-D-C'; and the right: C-B-E-G-E-B-C; the ear hears both: C'-B-A-G--A-B-C'; and: C-D-E-F--E-D-C. Two complex patterns are turned into two much simpler patterns. Using headphones, right handers tend to hear the higher melody on the right and the lower melody on the left; however, left handers, as a group, do not show this tendency |

| Deutsch tritone paradox | an auditory illusion created by Diana Deutsch (creator of a number of auditory illusions) to test the Shepard scale if proximity information was removed. Thus two Shepard tones exactly half an octave apart, a tritone, are played. Diana Deutsch found that perception of which tone was higher was dependent on the absolute frequencies involved: one will consistently find the same tone as higher or lower, and this is determined by the tones' absolute pitch. This is consistently done by a large portion of the population, despite the fact that responding differently to different tones must involve the ability to hear absolute pitch, which was thought to be extremely rare. Deutsch also found that British and Californian subjects consistently resolved the ambiguity the opposite way |
