Pentatonic Waves

Introduction

Isn’t the ocean special?  One of my favorite things in the world is to be near or on the water.  There is a rhythm in the waves that harmonizes with all of nature.  The sounds and the sights are the most beautiful on earth.

The rhythms repeat in a perfect pattern over and over.   It’s the rhythm of life!

This song is based on the pentatonic scale.  “Penta” means 5 and whenever you see a word that begins with “penta” it means there is a 5 in the idea.  For example, the pentatonic scale has 5 notes in it and any of them can give the scale its name.

“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.”
– Sun Tzu
