Vocalise: Third, Fifth, Ninth, Eleventh, Thirteenth Scale

January 18, 2010 By Ian Sidden

If you’re a singing glutton for punishment, then this scale pattern is for you.

It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
