Coming from that period, it would probably be modal, so let me see if I can remember my modes –
Dorian
Aeolian
Ionian
Mixolydian
Cambrian
Senonian
Pleistocene
That’s it – Pleistocene mode.

What’s the difference between “Light and airy” and “Like a Dirigible”?

Redwolf
“Have a nice day.” “Gradually become agitated”
I’ll have to print this one up for our organist.
Isn’t that just taken directly from the recently published “Dance Music of Seamus Ennis” book by Pat Mitchell?
I prefer “String Quartet No. 556(b) for Strings In A Minor (Motoring Accident)” by the same composer.
It has the right amount of cowbell.
Bovine discrimination-
“remove cattle from stage”
Ha. Play it backwards. It’s “Smoke on the Water.”
Oh come on now - that’s clearly been PhotoShopped…
Hasn’t it?
