This question will be in two parts. Part 1. Write a review of the video lecture Major and minor scale. To receive the credit you must include and name any music that Simoncic uses as an example of these scales. https://www.dropbox.com/s/80eumztx0njhqcy/Simple%20scales.mp4?dl=0 Major and minor scale:
Part 2 . Modes: The Renaissance began to move closer to the major and minor scale system. Up to this time and for the first 500 years of “classical music” scales called modes were the foundation for melodies and polyphony. Interestingly, modes began to resurface again in the early 20th century with French Impressionism by such composers as Debussy and Faure, Ravel, and the Italian composer, Respighi. Some English composers reached back into the modes as well. Sixty years late in the mid-1960s, rock and roll music groups explored and continue to use the modes. A good and early example in pop music was the song, Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nZ3QIKOMlk
Eleanor Rigby is mostly in Dorian mode. There is a Gregorian chant that has almost the same melody as Eleanor Rigby but without the meter, and of course, it’s in Latin.
Was the information concerning modes useful? Why or why not?
