#17 A preference for modality over tonality<br />
“I’m Goin’ to Sing” is in a major pentatonic mode that uses no 2nd or 7th degree. The<br />
fourth step is used liberally, which is rarely the case with major pentatonic modes.<br />
#18 General avoidance of the leading tone, even in dominant function<br />
Dominant chords are found in the penultimate bar of each verse, but there is no leading<br />
tone present. Parker uses the subdominant and supertonic chords over the V bass note, which<br />
creates the effect of a dominant.<br />
#19 Tendency to favor men’s voices over women’s<br />
The second verse in our example is sung by the men’s voices exclusively.<br />
