The power of just 3 notes!

There are 12 unique notes in a chromatic scale. What is the affect of changing just three of those in a piece of music? It can be the difference between night and day.

Listen to a little of the following work by J.S. Bach - Prelude No. 22 in B-flat MINOR:


Ask yourself, "how does this music make me feel and how does it affect my emotions?" Now listen to this SAME WORK arranged in the parallel major key. That may sound like fancy music lingo, but that simply means that as I played the piece I changed just three notes: A-flat became A-natural, D-flat became D-natural, and G-flat became G-natural. Now listen to this improvised arrangement and ask yourself the same question:


So what is the power of changing just three notes in a key signature? If we could change just three negative characteristics within ourselves, would we see the same affect? Could we affect the world for good by doing just three good deeds in a week, maybe in a day? I believe the answer is a resounding "YES"!

If you enjoy these recordings you may download them free from my website or through my iTunes podcast. Here is the direct link to this latest recording - an improvised arrangement of J.S. Bach's Prelude in B-flat.

Enjoy!
