Fireflies A Cappella, Harmonic Minor Version

The original video contains the original information on the video

For those of you who think Fireflies is too happy. I used Melodyne to change all the a cappella parts to fit E-flat harmonic minor (from the original E-flat major). The video and audio tracks are exactly the same. This includes various incorrect chords from the original video.

Maybe someday I'll do other modes or tunings, just for kicks.

Very nice done, but too bad it's out of key

@Maanhtje Being "out of key" is the whole point. If you're dying for the original one I did in the original key, there are links on the video.

I'll give you a break and let you use the music score. PhD exams are no excuse! But I'll be fair and allow you to work on it after 12 days, when you've presumably finished the exams--and passed them. (Don't worry, I have fairly reliable ESP, so chances are good you'll pass.) Best recording of this* is by the John Aldus Choir. [*Sechs Stücke für Männerchor , not Fireflies]

@jevalles The exams last two weeks, and then I have my orals.  Then I've got regular class papers and finals to worry about, then I go visit my parents for Christmas. Let's say, early January 2011.

You're good, but are you THIS good?-- Schoenberg Sechs Stücke für Männerchor op. 35 -- I double-dog dare you.

[jimlapbap]

@jevalles To transcribe by ear, you mean? Or to use the music, record, and pitch-correct like crazy?

By the way, I'm too busy right now (my PhD comprehensive exams start in 10 days).

@hessticlys If your cousin can take songs originally in a major key and sing them in a minor key, your cousin is a musical genius at age 5 to understand music theory that intricately, and needs to be taking music lessons.

On a related note, you should probably learn what a "minor key" is. Or watch the original video, which is in the original key.

[juicydale]

is there any way you could give me an mp3 file of your harmonic version? ive grown accustomed to listening to this and I actually have gotten to like it more than the original :)

[QueenXanadu]

@zachXbellXrox I concur.

gay...



[DaAngelBiz279]

Everyone who knows music will have to agree that this is an interesting way of interpreting fireflies... why didn't i think of this?

[enactment3]

@waterball256 it seems no one agrees =P

[xlovepianox]
