This little ditty has more of that modulation stuff I was talking about yesterday.

Music is fascinating, isn’t it? Today I made the following progression to illustrate how dominant chords work. Any time you want to change keys you should play a new dominant seventh chord to state the fact that you are in the new key.
This example has every secondary dominant in the key of G Major. The closely related keys to G Major are: A Minor, B Minor, C Major, D Major, and E Minor. You just need to add the dominant chord of each of those keys prior to playing them. (I added F Major because I am a rebel.)
Class dismissed.
The re-harmonization project continues….. Here are two versions of my re-harmonization of the Beatles “Within You and Without You.” I really like the way it sounds at the 33 second mark.
For those of you who don’t know, re-harmonizing a song involves adding different chords to an existing melody. In this case there weren’t any chords to begin with!
Here is the sheet music for all of you musicians out there:

Here is a work in progress of a song we all know and love.
I’ve got the blues so bad
You know what I mean
It’s making me sad
And I’m turning green
Been laying in bed

I must be blue
Play the blues……..

It has been a long time since I have posted anything. But today that ends. Here is a classical song called “The Moldau” by Bedric Smetana (1824-1884):
