    Here are 9 Chord Progressions you'll find in Hollywood film scores, that reflect different and contrasting emotions.

    This is very useful. I've already jotted down all the progressions and tried them out. I'm very interested in the film score progressions that we hear all the time and sound great. Love the super hero breakdown, sadness and love. Deep dives into all of them or more examples!

    I liked the superhero progression and the magical, i like the combination of the use of piano and oboe melody in the love chord progression. But then again, i like them all. 😊 All progressions give a different feeling. I like the use of seventh chords for romance too.

      You're welcome - I've written over a 1,000 songs, over a dozen musicals and one opera - which is epic.
      I've been a musician since I was little and am professionally trained by six opera coaches - I sing in ten languages with a 3 1/2 octave range, but I don't score music.
      All the melodies to my songs are in my head - some are sung a capella in recordings - the lyrics are typed
      New songs play in my head night and day - sometimes waking me from a deep sleep ...
      In the past two years, I've written over 200 songs ... maybe 300 ... I lost track but the lyrics are typed
      A few hundred of my songs are organized into "albums" - which I haven't yet recorded.
      I began singing professionally as a teen in NY under contract ... I've sung from England to Hawaii, including Chicago and southern California ... and I've worked as a recording artist in several studios - with several different arrangers and producers.
      I sing pop, rock, hip-hop, jazz, blues, Broadway, country, Christian, gospel, opera ...
      Through all that, I've learned basic chord structure, basic harmonies and arpeggios ... so thank you for this reminder which I learned from a music professor but promptly forgot.

    Thank you! Again, I wrote my notes on my music staff notebook. I noticed that 8 of your melodies didn’t end with the root music notes of the chords (melodies end with the 3rd or the 5th of the chords). Any particular reason for ending the melodies with the 3rd or the 5th of the last chord? I would like to learn. Thanks!

    on the Love one: seems more like : ||: i - - - | bVI - - - | III | bVII 4 - bVII - | iv - - - | bVI - - - | bVII 4 - bVII - :|| In the minor keys 6 and 7 are flat 6 and b7, kind of important, should you use any parallel minor keys.. These are great, been looking for a demonstration of Cinematic progressions, primarily utilizing the Mediants, Chromatic Mediants (1 note in common) and double Chromatic Mediants (no notes in common).. Thanks man, this is fantastic, opens up a whole new world for me.. oh, btw.. that last one Transcendence.. The reason it sort of works, is that in E melodic minor you have the minor 3rd (G), but you also have C# (raised VI) and the (leading tone (to Em) D# (raised VII).. Great explanation.. kinda helps to have a solid music theory background.. This opens up really cool ideas.. The Chromatic mediants and even negative-harmony work very well.. Do you have some examples of using Negative Harmony?

  • @DodgeDartSongs
    @DodgeDartSongs Před 6 měsíci

    Music is largely about what people agree sounds good. In the west we agree on a 12-note octave and (mostly) 7-note scales and 7-chord keys. We agree that the dominant 7th chord best resolves to the tonic. We agree that rock is largely Mixolydian. Some call these things cliche and others just recognize the broad agreement about how things should sound. So it’s no big surprise that these nine progressions evoke a certain emotion or support the particular emotion the film is showing us. Great video!
