Abel Mizriam

Home recording       MP3, hi-fi (4.81 MB)       MP3, lo-fi (2.62 MB)

I came across the words "Abel Mizriam" in the Bible and thought that would be a good title for a song. After finding out that it means "Mourning of Egypt", I wondered what notes are in the Egyptian Scale. I found the scale in Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns by Yusef A. Lateef.

My buddy Chuck provided some nice musical direction and thythm guitar crunch, my wife added the chirping bird and I play all other instruments.
