I FINALLY FOUND THE CHORD PROGRESSION THAT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS THANK YOU SO MUCH
Same
Taking your mind is at ease now
The 4 7 3 6 2 5 1 That puts your mind at ease
I’m so glad to have a name for this progression. Explains why I love Vivaldi and how he shaped my taste in music.
Just in case you don’t know this song listen to Homage by mild high club
When he said i iv vii iii vi ii V i I felt that
lmao
It’s such a gorgeous progression it sounds so logical and perfect
It really showcases the beauty of tonal harmony
It goes around the circle of fifths mostly
Homage brings me here
I wouldn't say the circle of fifths is rare in classical, but its disguised very well. In mozarts most famous sonata k545 1st movement. The circle of fifths is in there for like 4 of 5 bars. I cant remember but it has the circle of fifths with connecting parallel 10ths. They were very educated.
Thank you very much dear maestro for your comment :) I think I can guess what measures you are talking about. Great example!
Absolutely... without sounding cliched...
There is also a wonderful passage in KV 332 Allegro.
I can not live without this progression
I think this is why I fell in love with Vivaldi. Very few composers did this descending 5th's so well.
I think handel did some good stuff
@@puttster7939 Vivaldi prácticamente lo inventó, pues fue él quien lo volvió popular los demás solo lo imitaron. 🤷 Honor a quien honor merece.
This progression feels so natural:0
It's because it's symmetrical
@@sameash3153 I think it is because each chord resolves to the next chord moving by fifth (each chord has dominant function for the next one)
I've always preferred the Baroque period but could never figure out why. Thought maybe it was the imagination taking me away of landed gentry in expensive clothes, drunk and dancing until 1AM in a hall. Powdered wigs and rouge. Come to find out it was the circle of 5ths.
I almost have the same feeling as u!!!
Someone wrote this song before
And I could tell you where it's from
The 4-7-3-6-2-5-1 to put my mind at ease
Please just have a laugh with me
'Cause you know I'm borrowing by now
These sounds, have already crowned
Come on, it's a silly dream
Dreaming of the imagery unfound
The view sits nice from that cloud
And if you want a piece of my thoughts
There's a coin worth flipping
Why don't you toss?

Went from there to here. I knew that it sounded so familiar. Now I see why.
This song has been telling us that the composer is in love with this chord progression, that's it.
Bro the second variation, F to B7 to Esus4 is freaking amazing mate. The 7th at the base line is really doing the difference here (my bad I know I’m not using the good music terminology here.. it’s really different in french that’s why!)
No problem, we can understand! And I agree with you!
I think another reason why it works so well is because the B7 chord tonicizes Esus4
@@jacobruiz97 This is one of my finest parts of all my progressions - it is like it ties all the other voicings together with B7 as a secondary dominant.
I know right!!! I went insane for a sec there
I always liked the vibe of the Burn's solo sections. I guess this is why.
Deep Purple?
I'm sorry I hadn't finished the vid when I wrote the comment
Yeah, many songs are using this nice progression.
Another of the great ones is: Fly Me To The Moon.
The variations on the piano/keyboard are so beautiful! The string sound has such a nice warm "tone" to it, and it made me realize how many songs have thia progression! Now I know why those songs feel so special.
Those songs are the most common and unoriginal. How special?
@@blade-yu4dn at least make the bait believable
@@chirumiruchirunocirno wdym?
I dont know if you'll see this comment or not but i have to thank you. I dont even play piano. I play guitar. Watching this video for some reason made chord inversions make sense in my head the way nothing else ever has. This video showed up in my suggested so I figured get why not. I grabbed my guitar and played along for a few minutes. Then asked myself how can i play this differently. It was like in an instant all the triad and inversion drills ive been doing for months landed in my brains understanding of concept💡 pile.
Thank you
Teach me guitar, I have the same experience, I feel like I jump into a wonderful universe
Absolutely love this chord progressions and the best part is open infinite possibilities
Thank you for posting you are not alone
@@davidschestenger7350 good to know im not the only one. 👍
Of all the videos that came up in my search, this one was the one that I desperately needed. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you liked it :)
The first example is by Marcello, not Bach. Bach made a keyboard arrangement of Marcello’s concerto. Also check out Brahms’s Handel Variations.
If ever some people want more classical/romantique examples, I have compiled a playlist on spotify named “Circle Of Fifths: Non Baroque”. :)
Can you share the link?
Yeah, it would be nice if you could share the link to your circle of fifths playlist. I happen to be writing a music theory book at the moment and one of the things I will go over is the Circle of Fifths progression, both common subsets(ii -> V -> I and vi -> ii -> V -> I) and the full octave progression from I back to I. And the more examples I have, the better.
Eumm where is the link?
Link?
i immediately recognized the i iv VII III from the intro/interlude of abbas head over heels! i didnt realize it was the circle of fifths progression!
Ooooh that is why it sounds so goood and familiar!!
3:50 this is amazing
What song is that
@@meow9426 deep purple - burn
Not only I’m enjoying you posting but learning A LOT
Thank you is really wonderful
all of these songs sound like different versions of each other
Most of the time when songs have the same chord progressions, this happens. They're technically "the same" to a pretty large degree.
@@urphakeandgey6308crazy how most songs are copied from echother
True but these are parts of the piece/song. It's beautiful when it's sneaked in a larger piece
v7/V v7 Vmaj7/IV IVmaj7 viim7b5 V7/vi vi7 in all keys lets you practice all chords in all categories at least once each/key (one half-diminished, two each of major, minor, and dominant)
the 4736251
the old IV vii° iii vi ii V I
To put your mind at ease
Please just have a laugh with me
classic chord progression
I really love the V7/V and the Neapolitan chord in your examples
We can confidently say that fly me to the moon uses this progression. Because, to reduce Bdim's tension they just substituted it with Dm7
youtube need more videos like this.
Oh man! This is one of the best videos of internet! Thanks for posting!
Please upload more of this!! Other music styles too :)
Yesss
Rap has entered the chat. See: Nas, “No Introduction,” Bun-B’s “Trillionaire” and Boogie wit a Hoodie’s “Look Back at It.”
Homage by mild high club addressed the same ~ 4736251
My brain is spazzing out desperately trying to match the cords to a song and finding 5.000.000 correct answers.
My whole life could telling by that chord progression
It’s amazing I noticed I was listening to I will survive from the first introduction of the progression except I didn’t really until it actually came up
Probably not "the most common", which almost sounds a bit derogatory, but surely one of the most beautiful.
Thank you, this blew my mind.
Homage is a great song that uses this it even credited it in the lyrics 4736251
Doesn't Barbie Girl also start with this? It might be the most well known example
Ah yes my favorite chord progression.
Really nice and romantic your song. I will listen to more of yours.
You´ve given me what I was looking for. In the first seconds of your video. Have a good and long life.
Also anime opening of fullmetal alchemist, which is called melissa
Such a perfect video. Please upload more. We need it, in another genres, please!!
I use these all of the time in my music.
I liked your variation #1 the best btw, that really hit the spot with me.
I'm only now learning about music since I wasted my life being atonal. Over 400 years ago they taught orphans in Napoli to become maestri, and this system was passed down all over Europe. Most of the greatest composers had Italian teachers. The Paris (and probably Warsaw and Russian) Conservatories were based on this system.
Roman numeral analysis pales in comparison. A good source is Derek Remes in Lucerne, Gjerdingen and Mortenson in America.
Could someone give me a more specific thing to search for when I look for the piece at 2:44?
Mozart's 17th Piano Concerto
Muse uses the circle of fifths progression on their song 'Take A Bow' from the album Black Holes and Revelations.
I kept waiting to hear Frank Sinatra singing "Fly Me To the Moon"...
Very cool, thanks
I'm pretty sure that in It's a sin by the Pet Shop Boys it is there too, though I'm not exactly sure, it does sound like it
Cool
My teacher probably summed it up this way. Instead of letting me understand
I didn't think I'd like #4 that much because the beginning had a bit too much chromaticism for me, but I LOVED the ending, with the Picardy Third (I Major chord ending a chord progression in a minor key.)!!!!
Thank you very much!! You deserve wayyyy more subs!!
Thanks a lot.. from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 here..
Could you please introduce some other chord progressions, from which I can give a try for Classical Music improvisations.. 🙏
D minor progression makes me cry
It's the saddest of all the keys...
Hello again
D-group (major, minor, diminished) is the strongest group in the 12-semitone environment. Everybody loves D-group, especially D major and D minor (lydian-phrygian)
Great job putting this together.
Also by Bach and Vivaldis Winter
Parisienne walkways and still got the blues
I wrote a song , it came out as an exercise over progressions of forth, and is this exact cord progression just that I use Dm again instead of Bdim, but I play it in gm. Of course I knew was somewhere in classical music .
Beautiful work by you. Long live Dear
Thank you for this video!!
Ah, yes, what I use when I don't know how to do next 😄😄. Admit that, it works perfectly.
Great video man!
Great video...interesting historical perspective!
A good example from pop rock is Queen/ Don't Stop Me Now... iii-vi-ii-V-I repeated several times.
Just thank's, you are a amazing people
Excellent
the first three chords are the same as in Nightwish - 10th man down
What synthesizer were you using and / or what preset ?
Because this is one of the best sounds i have heard in my life ❤
I think handel/Halvorsen passacalgia have one of these chord progression
If you want a very good example check out Schumanns Piano concerto in A minor. 3rd movement has the most beautiful partial circle of 5ths in music.
sub! just what I was looking for. thanks.
Someone wrote this song before...
Genius video!
Couldn't stop hearing Barry Manilow's Could It Be Magic, which is based on Chopin's Prelude In C Minor.
You did amazing mate!
Do you have any equivaletion in Amaj? please!!!
Eminem enters:
“I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zags and this bag
Of this weed, it gives me the shit needed to be
The most meanest MC on this on this Earth
And since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just curse
And just blurt this berserk and bizarre shit that works
And it sells and it helps in itself to relieve all this tension
Dispensing these sentences, getting this stress
That's been eating me recently off of this chest
And I rest again peacefully
But at least have the decency in you
To leave me alone, when you freaks see me out
In the streets when I'm eating or feeding my daughter
To not come and speak to me
I don't know you, and no, I don't owe you a mothafuckin' thing
I'm not Mr. N'Sync, I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick if you tempt me
My tank is on empty, no patience is in me
And if you offend me, I'm lifting you ten feet in the air
I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
Go call you a lawyer, file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of all you, I don't mean to be mean
But that's all I can be, it's just me
And I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am, huh
I don't know, it's just the way I am
Sometimes I just feel like my father
I hate to be bothered with all of this nonsense, it's constant
And, oh, it's his lyrical content, the song Guilty Conscience
Has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, 'cause they full of shit too
When a dude's getting bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at!
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper-class city
Havin' this happenin'
Then attack Eminem 'cause I rap this way
But I'm glad, 'cause they feed me the fuel that I need
For the fire to burn and it's burning, and I have returned
And I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, it's just the way I am
I'm so sick and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And dropped from my label, let's stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top on "My Name Is"
And pigeon-holed into some poppy sensation
To cop me rotation at rock-n-roll stations
And I just do not got the patience
To deal with these cocky Caucasians
Who think I'm some wigger who just tries to be black
'Cause I talk with an accent, and grab on my balls
So they always keep asking the same fucking questions
What school did I go to, what hood I grew up in
The why, the who, what, when, the where and the how
'Til I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearin' it out
'Cause they driving me crazy, I can't take it
I'm racin', I'm pacin', I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a shit in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No, I won't sign you an autograph
You can call me an asshole, I'm glad, 'cause...
I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
Radio won't even play my jam
'Cause I am whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news, every day I am
I don't know, it's just the way I am”

at 3:13 I'm a little confused. the violin can't play chords, so how can you say it's using a chord progressions? are you just treating arpagios like chords?
Passacaglia!
Une belle histoire
This progression is really similar to the A section in all the things you are
Rosa's just a misunderstood mother.
The first oboe concerto example is not by Bach but often mistaken to be because he made arrangements of it. It’s by Marcello

I used to like this progression a lot but it feels too melancholic and depressive to me now . Still adore Vivaldi RV156 progression though.
The 4736251
What plugin is used for those strings ?
This is the original slow strings sound of Yamaha Clavinova
This reminds me of Stanley Kubrick's movies, I dunno why
