Mrs. Homie and I are having a disagreement. I say Charlotte hits an F, Mrs. Homie says I’m just taking a one-in-six stab at it (I am, but she doesn’t need to know that). It’s her “whoa” (or the operatic equivalent) after “fraternidad.”
“Simbolo de pace e di fraternidad - whooooooaaaaaaaaaaa!”
1 in 6? There are 12 notes in the modern Western scale. Sounds like an A to me.
Depending on how in tune our keyboard is, it’s an A flat (G#).
A, B, C, D, E or F. That’s six. I’m all for keeping it simple.
That’s what I thought at first, but I couldn’t tell if the recording was a little out of tune so I rounded up. You may be right; it’s somewhere between an A-flat and A, anyway.
The notes go up to G, even without counting flats and sharps.
Oops, forgot G. Shows how much I know about music.
That would not surprise me in the least; I can’t prove it, but I’m convinced music producers can tweak playback speeds to cram more music in less time which, of course, alters the pitch of the recording. Hell, it can probably be done in real time.
Oh, they absolutely can! I’ve done it with my own music. But believe it or not, we (the general “we”; I’m not a producer) also have the technology these days to do it without changing pitch. Everything’s coming in to Pro Tools/Logic/whatever DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) they’re using, and they can change the tempo, which will change pitch, but then they can highlight everything and readjust the pitch back down. :eek:
No, when I said it was possibly between notes (and that was just a guess because I’m currently out of town and listening on my crappy laptop speakers), I was referring to the fact that the orchestra may have been in tune with itself but not necessarily in tune with A440, the standard tuning frequency. So the song sounds fine to us, but if you try to play along with it on a perfectly tuned instrument, it would sound off. Again, I’m not sure if that’s what’s happening here, but that does happen quite frequently, especially with orchestral recordings (as opposed to a rock band).
