Nychthemeron=24 (equinoctial) hours, one oscillation (of universe around earth, some say of earth around itself), the octaves of which make one oscillation in:
12 h

45 m (=5th oct)
22 m 30 s
11 m 15 s .00

777 Hz is closer than 776 Hz.
Quite another question: is that note a G or a G sharp/A flat?
Modern tuning has an A (432 chamber music tuning or 440 orchestra tuning) making it a G. I have read people who want all tuning a half note further down, to them it would be an A flat (or B triple flat), equalling roughly G sharp.

This is part of my writings on Musical theory and history with Schenkerian analyses and syntheses.
It is, moreover, in part inspired by Lyndon LaRouche's writings about tuning. Is A=432 Hz or 440? Well, if Nychthemeron is G or G sharp/A flat makes a difference.
The German names G=Ge and Giss point to classical Greek pronunciation of Earth in Nominative or Modern Greek Pronunciation of Earth in Genitive.
Thus both would make sense to Heliocentrics who find that the Nychthemeron is a complete rotation of the Earth within the Universe, rather than of the Heavens around Earth (and all way up).
