Later recorded versions changed the harmonic structure of this tune radically, introducing additional faster chord changes in the A part (which are substitutions that fit the melody line) and in the B part changing the original E major to E minor and the original G to B7. The key of E minor is the relative minor of the key of G major - it uses ...
Notes that are shown as sharp or flat in a key signature will be played that way in every octave—e.g., a key signature with a B ♭ indicates that every B is played as a B ♭. A key signature indicates the prevailing key of the music and eliminates the need to use accidentals for the notes that are always flat or sharp in that key. A key ...
Minor chords are noted with a dash after the number or a lowercase m; in the key of D, 1 is D major, and 4- or 4m would be G minor. Often in the NNS, songs in minor keys will be written in the 6- of the relative major key. So if the song was in G minor, the key would be listed as B ♭ major, and G minor chords would appear as 6-.
In Baroque music, G major was regarded as the "key of benediction". [1] Of Domenico Scarlatti's 555 keyboard sonatas, G major is the home key for 69, or about 12.4%, sonatas. In the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, "G major is often a key of 6 8 chain rhythms", according to Alfred Einstein, [2] although Bach also used the key for some 4
The final pages of A World Requiem by John Foulds are written in G-sharp major with its correct key signature shown in the vocal score including the F. The key signature is shown as in the LilyPond example with the scale above, starting with the C ♯ and ending at the F (C ♯, G ♯, D ♯, A ♯, E ♯, B ♯, F). [2]
In Western musical traditions, pentatonic scales—conventionally played on the black keys—are built entirely from intervals larger than a semitone. Commentators thus tend to identify diatonic and pentatonic stacks as "tone clusters" only when they consist of four or more successive notes in the scale. [1]
