meremiinitsingule

Meremiinitsingule, also known as the Sea Minor Scale, is a seven-note musical scale. It is derived from the natural minor scale by raising the sixth degree by a semitone. This alteration gives the Sea Minor Scale a distinct melodic character, often described as having a yearning or melancholic quality, but with a touch of brightness introduced by the raised sixth.

The interval structure of the Sea Minor Scale, starting from the root, is whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. This can be visualized as Root, minor second, minor third, perfect fourth, perfect fifth, major sixth, minor seventh. For example, in the key of A Sea Minor, the notes would be A, Bb, C, D, E, F#, G.

The Sea Minor Scale is not as commonly used as the natural minor, harmonic minor, or melodic minor scales. However, it appears in various musical traditions and compositions, often adding a unique flavor to melodies and harmonies. Its distinctive sound can be attributed to the juxtaposition of the minor third and the major sixth, creating a tension that resolves in particular ways. Composers may employ this scale to evoke specific emotions or to create a departure from more conventional minor scale sounds. Its application can be found in jazz, folk music, and contemporary classical pieces.
