G-flat Major
G-flat major (or the key of G-flat) is a major scale based on G, consisting of the pitches G, A, B, C, D, E, and F. Its key signature has six flats. Its relative minor is E-flat minor (or enharmonically D-sharp minor), and its parallel minor is G-flat minor, which is usually replaced by F-sharp minor, since G-flat minor's two double-flats make it generally impractical to use. Its direct enharmonic equivalent, F-sharp major, contains the same number of sharps as the G-flat major key does flats. The G-flat major scale is: : Characteristics Like F-sharp major, G-flat major is rarely chosen as the main key for orchestral works. It is more often used as a main key for piano works, such as the impromptus of Chopin and Schubert. It is the predominant key of Maurice Ravel's ''Introduction and Allegro'' for harp, flute, clarinet and string quartet. A striking use of G-flat major can be found in the love duet "Tu l'as dit" that concludes the fourth act of Gi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soft Rock

Soft rock was prevalent on the radio throughout the 1970s and eventually metamorphosed into a form of the synthesized music of adult contemporary in the 1980s. History Mid- to late 1960s Softer sounds in rock music could be heard in mid-1960s songs, such as "A Summer Song" by Chad & Jeremy (1964) and " Here, There and Everywhere" by the Beatles and " I Love My Dog" by Cat Stevens, both from 1966.

Late 1960s soft rock artists include the Bee Gees, whose song " I Started a Joke" was a number one single in several countries; ...
