You explained so much. Wonderful. Since I began my love afair with Andean music in 1968, no other kind of music can alter my sense of where I am in time as the tunes from those beautiful mountains. Excellent 5-star video. 🙂
As an Inca living in America and a classical musician in love with Western tonality, nothing still penetrates my heart and soul the way Inca music does. I absolutely love your thoughtful presentation, and as I am about to incorporate some of these Andean elements into one of my compositions, I found this video to be invaluable. I cannot wait to see what else you have done! Bravo!!!
Fascinating history, excellent music scholarship and research. Traditional Celtic music is also pentatonic. Perhaps most ancient music is? You have the basis of a musical theory PhD dissertation here. Please copyright it before someone steals it.
