The tonality of the month of June 2023 is MixoBal or HexaNaMix, a hexatonality derivative of Mixolydian, HexaNaTriMix, or PentaNaMix. The prefix “Mixo” not only points to Mixolydian, it also underlines the mixture of progressive and regressive harmonic expansion. Strikingly, this appears in complete balance, building on the series of natural harmonics or overtones. This derivative tonality spreads equally in both directions out from the fundamental over a fully cohesive segment of the harmonics series. As such, MixoBal or HexaNaMix is also a prime Na(tural harmonics) tonality.
As defined in the Tonalibus glossary, derivative tonalities do not show up in detail in the Tonalibus catalogue of anchored tonalities. A common form of derivative tonalities is a slight mutation of one or more catalogued tonalities. MixoBal or HexaNaMix is equivalent to Mixolydian without second, HexaNaTriMix with the quart instead of the tritone, or PentaNaMix with the quart (fourth).
