Already In 1924 He Consistently Employed The Octatonic Scale Alternating Major And Minor Seconds Also He Used The Harmonic Series Scale From The Eighth To The Fifteenth Overtone. Music Based On This Scale Gives The Impression That It Is In Just Intonation Badings Himself Called This Mode 'lydo-Mixolydian'.
In Henk Badings' Extensive Oeuvre Of Hundreds Of Works The 31-Tone Music Has An Important Place. Without Doubt It Can Be Said That He Has Made The Largest And Most Important Contribution To The Dutch 20th-Century 31-Tone Music. Around 1950 Badings Became Interested In New Tone Systems Six- And Seven Tone Modes And The Acoustic Backgrounds. In 1951 He Wrote An Interesting Treatise For The Royal Flemish Academy Of Sciences Titled Tonaliteitsproblemen In De Nieuwe Muziek Tonality Problems In New Music . After 1951 He Wrote A Number Of Compositions For The 31-Tone Organ In Haarlem And In 1952 He Created His First Electronic Compositions. For The Occasion Of The 250th Birthday Of Leonhard Euler He Was Invited By The Swiss Radio To Write A Series Of 31-Tone Organ Works. His Works Are Characterised By Classical Form In Melodic As Well As Rhythmic And Harmonic Aspect. In 1978 He Wrote Another Treatise For The Royal Flemish Academy Of Sciences Over 31-Toon-Stemming. In Het Algemeen En In Het Bijzonder Gedemonstreerd Aan De Hand Van Een Eigen Compositie About 31-Note Tuning General Principles And A Specific Demonstration By Means Of A Composition By The Author . Badings Wrote Stringquartet 4 In Commission Of The Huygens-Fokker Foundation. The First Movement Has The Feeling Of A Slow Introduction In Which The Musical Material Develops Itself Gradually. Especially Notable Is The Use Of Sum And Difference Tones By For Example Adding Two Low Tones To A Chord Higher Tones Emerge Naturally. In This Way Very Complex Chords Arise The Opening Chord Has Frequency Ratios Of 1 3 4 7 11 18.
The Second Part Is A Fast Movement In A Free Sonata Form. Because Intonating Justly Is More Difficult In Fast Playing Badings Sought Rescue In The Euler Genera Scales Consisting Of Just Thirds Fifths And/or Sevenths. The Third Part Is Like An Elegy. The Major And Minor Modes Are Mixed. In The Faster Middle Part The Main Theme Returns In The Arioso Melody Of The Cello. The Last Movement Is Written In 11/4 Time In Constantly Differing Subdivisions.
Fragments Of This String Quartet On The Music Page. For The Famous Fokker Organ Badings Wrote Four Works Besides A Composition For The Archiphone. He Wrote His Reeks Van Kleine Klankstukken In Selectieve Toonsystemen Voor 31-Toonsorgel Series Of Small Sound Pieces In Selected Tone Systems For 31-Tone Organ And Suite Van Kleine Klankstukken Suite Of Small Sound Pieces In 1954. In The Reeks He Makes Use Of A Number Of 12-Tone Scales Which Are Preprogrammed In The Organ And Can So Be Played On The Traditional Manual. It Is Obvious He Could Not Distance Himself Well From Classical Tonality The Microtonality In This Work Is More Ornamental A Colouring Of Classical Tonality.
