Musical Tritone

A Tritone[7] in music is called an augmented fifth or a diminished fourth. The tritone is a musical interval that spans three whole tones, like the diminished fifth or augmented fourth. Because of its chromatic and eerie sound, this non consonant interval is known as the Devil's Interval or Diabolus in Musica. In early century music it was used when talking about the crucifixion and the devil and demonic forces.
