There are several Irish ones in Herrmann and Huntington's 'Sam Henry's Songs of the People'. Go to the modes table at the back of the book tp find them. Two pentatonic modes were more popular in this book than normal minor mode, which in popularity is also after major, mixolydian, dorian and one or two hexatonics. Scots are noted for pentatonic tunes, but I don't know of any list of them.

Without resorting to the puns in the Wonderbra thread, one of the things about music is that what you leave out is just as important as what you put in.

Having recently attended a blues guitar workshop (and a blues guitarist I'm not) my memory is that the blues scale was (roughly) pentatonic, even though that word was never used. The runs we were playing didn't sound like Scotland the Brave. Is my memory correct about the blues scale?

And to a more practical question - let's say I have a MIDI or ABC file and I want to hear how it might sound played as pentatonic. Without any real knowledge I imagine that I could suppress any of the irrelevant notes, or I could play the pentatonic note which preceded it. Anyone know how this could be done (easily)?

Pentatonic songs or singing in pentatonic is known to be ancient Icelandic way of singing folk songs.

I believe the main reason that lots of celtic tunes are pentatonic is that the bagpipe only has 5 notes in its scale. The more recent harp and fiddle tunes are written on the modern major and minor (8-note) scales.

Airs are different because they were mostly sung a cappella in any key or mode the singer wanted. Musical instruments were something of a luxury back in those days. The "muckle sangs" or old ballads were by their form and repeated second and fourth lines and choruses obviously meant to encourage the audience to join in. Where words were put to existing tunes taken from the bagpipe repertoire, you end up with a lot of pentatonic songs. Also the pitch of the drones on the highland bagpipe fit in with the pentatonic scale. Other notes on the regular 8-note octave tend to make a dischord. (Although some would say, on the bagpipe, how could you tell?)

Since Thomas never answered the question posed by Dick about what he means by Penatonic Music, I took a look at the site me mentions.

It is based upon the fact that pentatonic music removes some of the technical difficulties for students learning music. Thus I think all of the types of music mentioned on this thread are candidates to bring to his attention.

I recently noticed, while cleaning the keys of my Clavicord, that the first line of "Keep On the Sunny Side" is pentatonic--it can be played with only the black keys. (They are now the cleanest keys on the instrument.) That is the Chinese pentatonic scale, but it doesn't seem to be the same one as Thomas gives. (It is a 'blue' version of it in that the third interval is diminished :)

John, I had a look at my anthology of slave songs and they aren't pentatonic. I don't think things derived from them would be. Certainly more modern blues (a la Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, etc) are not pentatonic.) I don't have any sheet music, for, and I don't have a good enough ear, to tell if Blind Lemon and those guys are using a pentatonic scale, but I don't think so.

You can, with a MIDI editor, knock out notes and move notes around in a MIDI file. It's easy but tedious. It offers hours of fun if you have harmony. I don't think the result will sound like blues, though.

The "Souling Song" recorded by the Watersons (and popularized in a "modernized" version by PP&M) goes pentatonic songs two better: it only contains three notes. If sung in the key of C, these would be C, D and Eb. (The song begins, "A soul, a soul, a soul-cake/Please, good missis, a soul-cake/Apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry/Any good thing to make us merry/One for Peter, two for Paul/Three for him that made us all".) It can be found on the Watersons' excellent recording of seasonal and ritual songs, "Frost and Fire" (Topic, now augmented with some shape-note songs from another recording.)

G'day,
So are "Ye Banks And Braes" (Burns) and "Nottamun Town" (and therefore Dylan's "Masters of War"). I understand that many tunes from the Southern Appalachian area are pentatonic.

Pythagoras (who first realized that the squaw on the hippopotamus' hide was equal to the squaws on the other two hides) was also (possibly) the first to express music in mathematical terms (by noting that the frequency or pitch of one note is 9/8 that of the next etc. and that an octave is a doubling of frequency. He also described the intervals of a third and fifth). It appeared to me when I read about this many years ago that he described a pentatonic scale, i.e. none of the intervals he described were semitones (15/16 ).

Cheers,
Alan

Blues players may find this extract of interest.

The blues scale is often the first scale, after the major scale, taught to beginning improvisers, and is in some cases the only other scale they ever learn. This scale supposedly has its roots in African American music dating back to the days of slavery, but the exact origins of its modern incarnation are unknown. The C blues scale consists of "C, Eb, F, F#, G, Bb". The second degree of this scale, which is the flatted third of the minor scale, is called a blue note. In vocal music, it is often sung somewhere between an Eb and an E. In instrumental music, various techniques are employed to achieve the same effect, such as stretching the string while playing an Eb on a stringed instrument, lipping down an E on a wind instrument, or striking both the Eb and E simultaneously on a keyboard instrument. The flatted seventh and fifth are also sometimes called blue notes, and are not always sung or played exactly on the notated pitch. Variations on the blues scale that include the natural third, fifth, or seventh can be used as well. Also, note that if the flatted fifth is omitted, the resultant scale is the minor pentatonic scale. The minor pentatonic scale can thus be used as a substitute for the blues scale, and vice versa.

I found this at http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/ms-primer-4-6.html. The author is Marc Sabatella from a book titled Jazz Improvisation Primer.

Here's a fun little exercise for players. Learn the basic blues scale as noted above. Then, if you can recall it, try the old tune from the sixties (and later 80's) hit "sukiyaki", which is written in an Asian pentatonic scale. You'll find that you use the same notes, only with the root in a different place.

Edgar Burgen, the ventriloquist, used to sing nothing but pentatonic songs to practice his craft---his art---whatever you want to call it. This way he learned to sing without even twitching a single muscle in his entire body! And that was quite difficult. Not only that---he could sing 6 complete octaves but only using the pentatonic scale---or so I've been told. In later years he got very sloppy and always moved his mouth because doing a ventriloquist act on the RADIO somehow defeats the purpose of being a ventriloquist in the first place. Some even felt it was Mortimer Snurd who was the ventriloquist and Edgar was the dummy.

Whoops!!! I'm completely WRONG! It wasn't a pentatonic scale he used to practice his art.

It was the C A T A T O N I C scale!!! That's why he never moved!

Oh well, NEVER MIND!

The blues scale is more minor then pentatonic. heres the pentatonice scale in the key of C C D E G A C BLUES SCALE in key of C C Eb F Gb G Bb C MINOR SCALE key C C D Eb F G Ab Bb C it is easy to see the blues scale is more minor then pentatonic, The blues scale gets most of its notes from the minor scale. The only note that doesn't come from the minor scale is the flat-5. The flat-5, along with the flat-3 and flat-7, are call blue notes. Blue notes are simply notes that are known to have a bluesy sounding quality to them. In short, if you want to sound blusy, you play alot of blue notes. If you play pentatonic scales it will sound like country music or folk the pentatonic scale is what gives folk and country the sound it has.

Waldorf Education uses Pentatonic Scales for early childhood education. The suggested first instrument is a Pentaonic Harp. ( See one at the Fairywood Site--www.waldorf.w2w.cc-- click on wooden toys. )
The Waldorf School Association of Ontario has a variety of songbooks for sale&/or loan (www.waldorf.ca/)
They are simple songs to use on the lap harp and deal with everyday life, the seasons, Saints, and Nature.
Always makes me wish I wasn't instrumentally challenged.
I've never found a cassette or midi file of the music. Anyone know where it can be found?

Pentatonic scales have five and only five notes--but that is not the only defining element. Pentatonic melodies don't shift to dominant harmony, which is to say that they don't have any notes in them that require a chord change, so you don't feel that intuitive chord shift(though it is possible to use diatonic chord changes in a pentatonic melody, you just don't have to)--

I have commented on Blues before, and my opinion(which doesn't count for much around here, I know) is that it isn't pentatonic--when you play a twelve bar blues, you actually use more notes than are in a diatonic scale-that said, which ought to rule it out. However, you can use a pentatonic scale to play over a blues progression (In again) but you can also play note that are not in the pentanic scale (out). I also refuse to believe that any scale that include the 4th, the b5, and the 5th, is pentatonic.

If you suspect that a melody is pentatonic, try to play it on the black keys(as mentioned above)--if you can't. it isn't--

bluesdogg - the scale that you used as "pentatonic" is actually the "major pentatonic". Pentatonic just means five notes, and you can get a different "scale" by starting on a different note of the pattern. Sort of like if you use all the white keys on the piano, which is normally a Major Scale if you start on C. If you act like the tonic is D, then the scale is actually the Dorian scale, not the Major scale.

So the Minor Pentatonic in C is C Eb F G Bb C, which is one note (F#) less than the "blues scale".
The Major Pentatonic in C is C D E G A C.

But the blues scale also has a certain style of playing, where you bend the notes around. Pentatonic doesn't really have that.

If you wanted a Minor Pentatonic on all the white notes, you would use A C D E G A as the pattern. It's a whole different feel, and the same 5 notes.

I used minor pentatonic to create "Kwan Yin", and would be happy to donate a gif and a midi to that site.

The blues scale is not a scale - it is merely a formalisation of many elements in blues music. One of the significant features of the playing of Robert Johnson, for example, is his heavy use of the flatted FOURTH, and if that ain't blues I'm Chinese!

Nobody's mentioned Debussy's L'apres-midi d'une faune, and that is a real exercise in the pentatonic (but not folk). For really obvious folk pentatonic stuff you need to look to pipe-and-drum tunes, such as the old Breton tune Pat-a-Pat-a-Pan, which were designed to be played on what was effectively a tin whistle with only the first three holes open ( so that the player could strike the drum with the other hand).

I just looked up "pentatonic" in the dictionary, and it does not simply mean "five notes." (If it did, we would be speaking of quadratonic, heptonic, etc, and we don't.)

A pentatonic scale is a major scale which omits the fourth and seventh tones. This is stated in the very first message above - check the syllables.

Rounds are often pentatonic.

Since omitting the fourth and seventh eliminates much dissonence, I think pentatonic music is the reason why certain kinds of music (Chinese comes to mind) never clashes and never gets interesting, either. It also explains why certain kinds of dance music can go on all night without anything being written or memorized. People just agree on a pentatonic scale and jam, jam, jam.

Which dictionary? I only trust Oxford Canadian Dictionary...

Actually, in very obscure Jazz, they do talk about weird scales like "quadratonic". Of course, the guys might have just been trying to impress me. They were senior students... right?

And I learned "penta" = "5", with all the other cool stuff added in my previous post. I also learned the "blues scale" in high school jazz class. Maybe it's not just a formalization anymore? We were tested on this stuff. Here in Canada anyway.

Hi friends,

just a little hint from old Europe: By definition in the pentatonic scale the half steps are omitted, so from the original 7 tones (without the octave, naturally) there remain 5. So you only have do, re, mi, sol, la, (do). Sounds sometimes a little bit like a minor scale, due to the lack of the half step si-do, but the mi gives the flat sound back. Do not mix it with the old church scales (Doric, Lydic etc.; they are all truly heptatonic). First pentatonic song I thought of was Auld Lang Syne, which I learned with the Boy Scouts.

For the Tin Pan Alley buffs among us, try "Ev'ry little breeze [seems to whisper Louise]" and "I'll be loving you... [always]". In "Always", the second line ("With a love that's true...") is the first five notes of the major scale. Makes it a little easier for us somewhat intervallically challenged singers.

Yeah, but the fourth line of "Always" ("...need a helping hand") is so-la-do-re-mi in a different key from lines 1 and 3. Does that still count as pentatonic? I thought a pentatonic song had to use the SAME do-re-mi-so-la NOTES throughout, in the same key. Please enlighten.

(Actually, whether you read the second line as either so-la-TI-do-re or do-re-mi-FA-so, it's not pentatonic anyway.)

Pentatonic scales tend to omit half steps, I doubt that something using 5 diatonic notes in a row would overall be pentatonic.

I was looking a few folk pentatonic tunes, they seem to use: do,re,mi,sol,la (omit fa and ti) "Minor" looks like it starts on la but still omits fa & ti: la,do,re,mi,sol,la. With no fa, there's no issue of if it's Dorian or Aeolian minor.

I stumbled on this, looking for songs based around the pentatonic scale.

I'm teaching a bloke how to play the Caisa (http://www.caisa-music.com/) which is tuned in C pentatonic (G A C' D' E' G' A' C" D" E") and I was casting around for things to show him.

Thanks especially to John in Brisbane for that compilation of songs. Pure gold, mate!

PS. The Blues scale is a modified minor pentatonic scale, while most of the tunes in that list use the major pentatonic. Here are both in C:

C Major Pentatonic: C D E G A C etc; (1, 2, 3, 5, 6 if you think in terms of the notes in the major scale)

C Blues: C Eb F G Bb C etc. (1, flat3, 4, 5, flat7) It's important to note that Gb is frequently used as a passing note between F and G.

Both are technically "pentatonic", since they have 5 tones, but the first is the "pure" pentatonic.
