Every note on the grand staff has a different pitch because it vibrates at a different frequency. This happens too with light across the visual spectrum, and we perceive this as different colors. Composers understand this and combine pitch with an instrument's timbre to create musical "color", and thus mood. In this week's episode we explore their creativity in the musical world of color.
