What is the origin of this European melodic concert chant? |
|
I was listening to a Status Quo concert today, when I heard a chant I've heard a million times (approx.) on various concert recordings made throughout Europe. The lyrics consist of "Woah-oh-oh-ohhhhh-oh!", and the notes are:
I - bVII - V - bVII - I
For the roman numeral-challenged:
1 - b7 - 5 - b7 - 1
For those who don't know music theory, let's give an example in the key of E:
E - D - B - D - E
The rhythm:
Half note - quarter note - quarter note - dotted quarter - eighth note
Anybody have any ideas where this came from?
