Introduction

This blog serves as the form of media for the investigation of the musical similarities and differences of a Scottish folk song sung by Julie Fowlis and a blues song by Muddy Waters. (Videos of these pieces can be seen below) Despite coming from different musical genres/styles the musical elements form, melodic patterns, and microtones provide links between these two examples. Some differences between the examples involve tonal elements and rhythm.

Example #1: Julie Fowlis -- Òganaich Uir A Rinn M' Fhàgail (Track 1 on accompanying disc)
