  • A Tierce de Picardie (Picardy Third in English) is simply a major ending in a minor key, which was used a lot in the Baroque era and gives a feeling of optimism at the end of a piece, so technically this isn't one as it comes in the middle of the song. Bach's music is full of them, but perhaps the quickest and most accessible way of getting the effect is if you listen to The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time: Serenade of Water. It's a perfect example :P

  • @Krolblach That is a hilariously nerdy example! Great work, friend!

  • Personally, I think Jack should create a series of videos showing vocal technique for songs (in this case Tribute), and THAT could be kick-ass - they could call it "Singings". Either way, I doubt that would happen, bearing in mind Jack has a hell of a lot on his plate in Hollywood and making the next D album - so I doubt that would happen. Let's start a comment vote - who would like "Singings"?

    Long live The D!

  • @Guitarings He he :P I wasn't sure whether it would be TOO nerdy and lose me what little Youtube credibility I have left...but it's such a perfect example (and was in fact my own introduction to the term about ten years ago!) that I just felt I couldn't pass it by.

  • @Guitarings Indeed it is fun to say! I'm just being an upper-class British pedant :)
