Welcome to your Mid-Week Music Moment! Doh! In this famous (25 year old) theme song written by Danny Elfman, a characteristic dissonant interval is heard (0:02) on THE SIMP– and resolves on –SONS to a consonance. (Broadway fans and scholars know of a similar treatment of the word MARIA in Bernsteins West Side Story.) What is this evil interval? How does Elfman incorporate it melodically into the main theme (0:09) and throughout the tune? (HINT: This interval divides the octave into two equal halves.) https://youtube/watch?v=-cOdYyx1oKI
