	G-sharp Minor G-sharp minor is a minor scale based on G, consisting of the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Its key signature has five sharps.Tapper, Thomas. First Year Musical Theory (rudiments of Music)'. United States, A. P. Schmidt, 1912. Its relative major is B major. Its parallel major, G-sharp major, is usually replaced by its enharmonic equivalent of A-flat major, since G-sharp major has an F in its key signature, making it less convenient to use. A-flat minor, its enharmonic, has seven flats, whereas G-sharp minor only has five sharps; thus G-sharp minor is sometimes used as the parallel minor for A-flat major. (The same enharmonic situation occurs with the keys of D-flat major and C-sharp minor, and in some cases, with the keys of G-flat major and F-sharp minor). The G-sharp natural minor scale is: Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The G-sharp harmonic minor and melodic minor scal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	G-sharp Major G-sharp major is a musical key based on G, consisting of the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Its key signature has eight sharps, requiring one double sharp and six single sharps. Because the same pitches can be indicated by the enharmonically equivalent key of A-flat major (with four flats), a G-sharp major key signature is extremely rare. Its relative minor is E-sharp minor, which would be replaced by F minor. Its parallel minor is G-sharp minor. The G-sharp major scale is: Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The G-sharp harmonic major and melodic major scales are: Although the enharmonic key of A-flat major is preferred because it has only four flats, compared with G-sharp major's eight sharps (including the F), G-sharp major appears as a secondary key area in several works in sharp keys, most notably in the Prelude and Fugue in C-sharp major from Johann Sebastian Bach's ''The Well-T ...

	G♯ (musical Note) G♯ (G-sharp) or sol dièse is the ninth semitone of the solfège. In the German pitch nomenclature, it is known as ''gis''. It lies a chromatic semitone above G and a diatonic semitone below A, thus being enharmonic to ''la bémol'' or A (A-flat). When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the G♯ semitone is approximately 415.305 Hz. See pitch (music) for a discussion of historical variations in frequency. The notes A and G are the only notes to have only one enharmonic, since they cannot be reached in any other way by a single or double sharp or a single or double flat from any of the seven white notes. In the medieval period the musical note G# was known as gesolreut within the Guidonian hand hexachord system.

picture info	Granville Sharp Granville Sharp (10 November 1735 – 6 July 1813) was an English scholar, philanthropist and one of the first campaigners for the Abolitionism in the United Kingdom, abolition of the slave trade in Britain. Born in Durham, England, Durham, he initially worked as a civil servant in the Board of Ordnance. His involvement in abolitionism began in 1767 when he defended a severely injured slave from Barbados in a legal case against his master. Increasingly devoted to the cause, he continually sought Test case (law), test cases against the legal justifications for slavery, and in 1769 he published the first tract in England that explicitly attacked the concept of slavery. Granville Sharp's efforts culminated in 1772 when he was instrumental in securing William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, Lord Mansfield's ruling in ''Somerset v Stewart'', which held that slavery had no basis in English law. In 1787, Sharp and Thomas Clarkson founded the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Sl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
