Talk:Psalms chord

Scales

It's silly to say that the chord is consistent with both a phrygian scale and an octatonic scale. Sure, it is, but so is any minor triad. What makes the chord distinctive is not the traits it shares with any other minor triad (which number in the hundreds) but its unique sonority. 76.90.232.8 (talk) 06:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I believe that the unique sonority is covered in the article as well: "barking E minor triad - characteristically spaced" & "the famous opening chord". Hyacinth (talk) 06:48, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely the case. Why is it "silly" to point out some commonalities as well? On reflection, though, perhaps the purpose of making such an observation could be clarified (for example, no mention is made here of the famous "octatonic controversy").—Jerome Kohl (talk) 07:04, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Mirror

It should be added that this particulary spacing is a mirror-interval structure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cadenzaperfetta (talk • contribs) 18:20, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

The bottom interval is a minor third and the top interval is a major third. Hyacinth (talk) 06:11, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
