I need to log a personal objection to the use of melodies as mnemonic devices in an encyclopedic article involving ear-training. Neither works very well for a typical 18-year-old college freshman however. The old Star Trek theme begins with a m7th. See below, "Fantasy Island" theme begins w/ a true M7th. People who are not musically inclined may not be able to hear in their head the interval between the first and third notes of a song, it would be much better if we could find a solid example where the first and second notes form a major seventh.Īnd "Theres a Place for Us" (aka 'Somewhere') is a minor seventh, not a major seventh. It doesn't bother me to use an example more than once, what bothers me is that we can't find a song that is a major seventh without having to use the first and third notes. Suggestions: The second part of the ' Superman' theme, The Cole Porter song "I Love You" (it's a descending M7), the a part of On the Street Where You Live that goes "all at ONCE AM i" (the M7 is between 'once' and am'), and the chorus of "Alone in the Universe" from Seussical ("'CAUSE I have wings") DA723 Why can't we use an example more than once?
