I took the traditional Canon in C major, and I transposed it to C minor. It is now much darker. Enjoy! Share! Embed! and of course, let me know what you think!

  • I've been listening to this over and over and it occurred to me that it's possible to compose in keys other than major for the first time :P Could you explain what you did to the chord progression? Did you just transpose all chords 2 notes downward / upward and switched from major to minor and vice versa? i.e. C major would become A minor or E minor?

  • @handplanty The piece is originally written in C Major. I transposed it to C minor which has a different fundamental structure when it comes to the sound wavelengths. Major keys always follow: 1,1,1/2,1,1,1,1/2 (steps/tones). The Minor structure is 1,1/2,1,1,1/2,1,1 (steps/tones). So essentially I just mentally followed the C minor structure with the same Canon Chord Progression and improvised it as I went. The Major Chord Progression is I V vi iii IV I IV V. The Minor is i v VI III iv i iv V.

  • This really fits my mood, since my Saint Benard puppy, who was like a brother to me, and named Charlie, died today. Thank you so so much. This honestly made me feel better. :'] Once again, thank you.
