Thread Name: Songs in minor key that aren't sad?
Subject: RE: Songs in minor key that aren't sad?
Tierce de Picardie! Good to know. I use that in a few songs, but I never knew what to call it. The only current one I can think of is "Una Rosa de Francia." And the Beatles' "And I Love Her," which I haven't sung since about 1970.

But in the Mudd piece, I think I see 12 instances of an E major chord, not just at the ends of phrases: Let... mer-ci... O... prayers... that... -tain... -tain their pe-... -ons... ask... thee... Lord... -men. And only 3 instances of an Em chord: to/such/make... make/such/as... through Je-sus. Am I reading that right? It's hard for me to read dots, especially on the bass clef.
