I wanted Song of Songs to have a significant, not melody, but sound. I guess thats inherent in the five-tone scale. It has a major/minor sound at the same time. . .its built on an F triad with a flatted 9th and a flatted 13th inverted on the bottom of the triad, which gives it a much broader sound. When I wrote it I was thinking about something I could dedicate to the suffering in Indochina, because I like to relate my music to the times or my environment. And we all have to admit that war has had some influence on us in some way or another, and that was my way of expressing to the people of Indochina my concern. —Woody Shaw, Song of Songs, Liner Notes, 1972
