Gazillions of pirate/buccaneer movies use that in their scores. Again, the placement of the whole step in the overtone series has a lot to do with that progression's function as a signifier of oceanic voyages, and the fact that two fifths equals an octave-displaced whole step helps.Hucbaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111826753868595100noreply@blogger.com
