Maqam
El-Theel
مقام راصت الذيل
The Tonic of this
Maqam is C, and is distinguished by having the third and seventh notes
lowered by 20% when descending. It is equivalent to the Turkish Maqam
Rahawi by a Rast tetrachord played below the Tonic. This Maqam tends
to sound like the African Pentatonic scale, by stoppage, often, at its
second note and avoiding its seventh note. |
