To get the spaceships' attention prior to their arrival at Devil's Tower, the five notes the scientists play are G, A, F, (octave lower) F, C. When they arrive at the tower and are attempting communication, the notes they play are B flat, C, A flat, (octave lower) A flat, E flat.

They are based on a major pentonic scale. I don't know exactly what key they were played in, but if it was to be played in the key of C they would be D-E-C-C an octive lower,and G.
