C Minor Blues (aka Minor Third Blues)

First, a general announcement. Istrail Tunes will now being airing an episode every Monday morning.

Continuing with the piano theme, this week's Istrail tune is "C Minor Blues" from the album "Piano Grooves." It will be the coda to one of the tunes from my rock opera. I wrote this song in college as an assignment for a music theory class. We were asked to compose music based on an interval of our choice. I chose the minor third interval, used in many of my favorites blues songs (e.g. Muddy Waters' "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and Led Zeppelin's reworking of "When the Levee Breaks," originally written by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie).

Here is "C Minor Blues"!
