Rufus Wainwright has a new song out: Going To A Town. I can’t say I’m particularly won over by the music video, it strikes me as being trite, but the song itself has some interesting musical ideas going on in it. I don’t know enough about musical theory to be able to analyse it, but I know someone who does: Robert Zimmerman, over at his Re:Harmonized blog. From him I learn, amongst other things, that the song contains a Neapolitan Sixth. Who’da thunk it?

Sounds more like an ice cream flavour to me. Neapolitan…… music theory is not my thing.
