The chord I was referring to in my earlier article is a dominant 7th with an added flatted third. Sometimes a flatted 5th is added as well. (Or would you call it a raised 9th and 11th? Depends where it goes.) These chords, and/or similar ones, are found in Ravel: "Oiseax tristes" from "Miroirs", 1905, and "Scarbo" from "Gaspard de la Nuit", 1908, as well as Debussy, "? pas sur le niege" (sp) from the Preludes, book I (1908?). Probably several others as well, but these come to mind right away. Were there barbershop quartets in turn-of-the-century France? Jeff Winslow
