Interesting composition. Sounds like Debussy's Reverie just a little.

Nice music, Roy. The music is on popular/folk side a little.
Btw, I am a big fan of Ferit Tüzün now!  ;D

The music sounds like J.S. Bach Passacaglia & Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 !

A large percentage of Spanish classical music* and Flamenco uses that scale, it is probably in the majority of the pieces in those styles, I think. It is what gives that music it's characteristic sound. Also used in Ravel's Alborada del Gracioso.

*To clarify I mean Spanish classical music that sounds distinctly Spanish, which I think started happening around the time of Albéniz, who was among the first to use Spanish folk idioms in his music.

While Spanish music uses flattened 7, the Arabic music often sounds like using natural 7.

Both Flamenco and Arabic music use the Phrygian (mode 3) with a raised or lowered 3rd and 7th (with resulting aug 2nds in the melody).
