[Smt-talk] Tritone subs and the subtonic neighbor

[Nicole Biamonte]

 How broadly are you defining "popular"?  The earliest examples I know are
16th-c. passamezzo antico/romanesca-type patterns, e.g.
"Greensleeves."  There are lots of later instances from the Anglo-American
folk tradition, such as "Drunken Sailor," "Scarborough Fair," and "She
Moved through the Fair" (19th c?).  Another example from 1947 is Burton
Lane's "Old Devil Moon."
