“Giant Steps“ in 5-limit Just Intonation

This theme cycles through the major thirds from Cflat - Eflat - G - B - Dsharp at a ratio of 5/4. The ratios (in decimal form) for each scale degree (up to the ninth) are listed in a matrix toward the end of the clip, for each of the 5 tonal centers. Still to come: the rest of the canonic solo improvisation!
