what pitch is this tune?

Post by DjUntzUntz »

I was looking for the sheet music of this song and on the internet it is mostly presented with 1 or 2 # so G/D major I guess
but Damian doesn't sing in this pitch in this song --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZNV9me59c8

Anybody knows what scale/pitch this would be? Bb or so?

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Starts out Emaj and then modulates to F#, I believe.

Ah, yes...the trusty-dusty supertonic coda. :) Many a fine tune's been had by that singular device. Indeed, a hallmark of our times. :thumbsup:

It modulates to F natural, actually.

Aw, c'mon. Such a fancy name for the trucker's gear-change. :P

And I guess a semitone rise is technically not the supertonic.
