Description:
Experiment(al) , decided to look at the positive side of my technical/memory handy cap, and let anything go! :) Going out in new territory, I chose 3/4 , D minor 80, and picked out my favorite loops. I found it to be very fun and much more stimulating :) I hope you enjoy my unusual arrangement. Thanks for listening:)*

your unusual choices of instruments, here. They are like a riot of many different kinds of flowers - A wild beauty when viewed from afar, but each one has its own singular beauty when you get up close, too. I like the Irish flute you used for the ending!

Well composed. Thats a really nice and pleasant track you have put together. The music goes well with the picture and images. I love all the celtic sounds and you have mixed them well with the orchestral. Really beautiful track Linda, keep it up.

but this didn't seem sad at all. It's rather joyous actually. Very well done.

I AM FACINATED! I DON'T HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING OF KEYS OR CHORDS....I HAVE A SUPER MENTAL BLOCK ABOUT THEM, BUT NOW I WISH I DIDN'T.......I AM VERY CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID, AND WHAT MAKES THAT SO....THANKS FOR LISTENING! :)
Hi ML (Linda). That was just a joke. In general, songs centered on a minor key sound more serious, sometimes sad. Major keys are happier. The link I sent you was from the movie "This Is Spinal Tap," which is a fake documentary about a rock band. The clip shows the lead guitarist of Spinal Tap in a "serious" moment, composing a song with a sadder, more serious feel than his usual stuff, and he claims that D Minor is the saddest of all keys. The joke is that D Minor is no sadder than any minor key. It's all relative, of course. You could simply shift all the notes in your song up to F minor, and the emotional content would be identical. The guitarist/pianist is again being exposed for his superficiality.
Keys are chosen either to match the range of a vocalist or to make it easier for certain instruments involved in the song. Many rock and blues tunes are written in E or A, so that the open E and A strings can be used easily by rock guitarists. But Chuck Berry (as I recall) wrote his blues/rock tunes in C sharp, to match his vocal range better. Another example: C Major and A minor are easiest for keyboards, because you use only the white keys.
As to WHY this major/minor effect works, I don't know. But human physiological and psychological response to music must certainly be a fascinating subject, just as you say.
The only reason I mentioned this, besides trying to be a little funny, is that your tune does not sound sad, so it is an exception to the "rule."

some explanation?
The difference between a minor and a major chord is just _not only_ one halftone less for the first terz. It is more. And you are absolutely right by saying that d- minor is one of kind sadness. I think it is a warm sadness, more melancholic. Why? If you think about your keyboard, an d-minor is the same key as an c sharp. d(b) = c(#)
But that's only on keyboard.. In fact they should be slightly different. Johann Sebastian Bach has written a great piano work: the well temperatured piano (Das wohltemperierte Klavier)
His tuning of a piano is a compromis (as every piano tuning is) and that gives different colour of chords: For example...
C Major ist majestic proud and friendly, D Major is more flying lightly, not so rock stable and it sounds easy. And d-minor is mild and warm and melancholic. c minor i.e. is more desperate, harder, colder. That all is a lot of taste, find your descriptions for yourself, I think it is very interesting.
Greetings,
Bernd
BTW:
