quote:
ORIGINAL: NormanKliman All the same tones al cinco medio (D-Eb-F-G-A-Bb-C-D) so it'd be truly Phrygian, without flamenco's resolution to the major third degree (F#), ¿no? If you want to relate it to flamenco (as I suggested above) sure. The variable F-F# is avoided by her so, that important thing would HAVE TO be taken on by the guitar. If F natural only were heard, her "song" sounds like G aeolian (not flamenco sounding so much). THe other missing note C is also important. Again C or C# used as variable gives lot of resolving color. (For Example Eb7#11 via the C# aka Db, pulls to or emphasize the D tonic. Both C and C# avoidance down plays the idea of D as tonic). But as her music stands on it's own, the deliberate avoidance of those (normally) variable notes is significant to the "aire" or mood she is creating, and it is meant to be heard "in G minor" I feel, not D phyrgian. Incidentally, if the E natural (Guitarbuddha thinks he is hearing) WERE heard in this piece, it would jump out the same as the raised 2nd in Cante (like your study) implying (as per flamenco traditions) the A7 "cambio" chord. I didn't notice any E naturals. Ricardo
