[edit] Eight-part harmony?

I keep seeing conflicting information as to whether Bunun music is "eight-part harmony" or sung according to an "eight-note scale". These are vastly different concepts. Is there any authoritative source? The Chinese term "ba yin he chang" seems to imply a chorus singing with an eight-note scale, rather than an eight-part harmony. 203.73.235.198 (talk) 13:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
