Has the feeling of free improvisation around a few main pitches or intervals within the Aeolian mode.
Scotch snap and syncopation are present in the rhythm.
1.25- melody freely decorated (the upper auxiliary note on ‘moon’).

Question 4

Harmony and tonality

Answer 4

A minor but sounds modal as the raised 7th (G#) doesn’t occur.
Most of the song is based on a formula consisting of three triads.(F major, C major, A minor).
Dissonance is created as the melody often clashes with the underlying harmony- 0.30 F against the A minor chord.
