It woud become "impossibly dark"fairlyclose wrote: Fri Mar 20, 2020 10:21 amit is unethical to distrubute such misery - but imagine the devastation if you transposed it down the C# minor
Especially because, since many baroque organs (as well as the instruments in general) were tuned with the A at 415 Hz (meaning approximately half tone lower than today) a D would effectively sound like a C# nowadays.

this must be why modern tuning is higher - safety. Note that European population increased significantly after standardisation on A440.

Badly analysed, IMO. He just lost me when he started by saying that "Locrian is the seven mode of the major scale" - that's pure rubbish. Modes don't "belong" to Major, since Major is a mode itself. That's blatant ignorance. And there is no "major scale". There is a major MODE, and a minor MODE, and in each one we may have a lot of TONALITIES, one for each key the mode starts in.
A "scale" is just a succession of notes, and we may have pretty much ANY scale within a mode/tonality.
The melody just spans four notes. And he is just looking at a couple of bars of the verse. He even admits that, when the music reaches the chorus, it goes away from that (so much for the locrian theory)
. Truth is: There was never a Locrian mode. It was a purely theoretical construction first mentioned by Glareanus in his Dodecachordon treaty, but never observed in actual musical practice. As I said, by the time Glareanus published his treaty, the entire modal system was already transitioning to the tonal system anyway.
Which brings us to the main question: How do you analyse a song or a piece of music? You have to take it as a whole, ot at least complete sections. You cannot analyse just a couple of bars, and take that as the whole.
It would be like analysing the Mona Lisa by looking at a small fragment of the landscape painted behind the figure, if you know what I mean.

Excluded from the church modes because of the tritone...the devil's interval.
