Hi everyone,

Very interesting discussion going on regarding melodic
scales. Here is a piece that uses a tuning I find to be
melodically interesting.

It's called "A Breeze Stirs the Shade" and is meant to
evoke the image of sitting in the shade in the desert
during the heat of the day as a breeze brushes past.

The ancient harp it is played on has more strings and a
greater range than would be found on authentic
instruments, but I find this tuning is what I was
looking for to convey the right mood of those times.
