The Dies Iræ is a chant set to the words from an even older prayer, “Dies Iræ” being the incipit. It means “Days of Wrath” which is to call to mind the end of time when we will all be judged for all people who have ever lived to see. It is the Sequence from the Requiem Mass. It is by far one of my favorite chants.

I'm a pleb and can only understand orchestral music in the context of films, but I can definitely pick out a lot of moments where a movie's main theme (made in ascending scales) is changed during a tense moment. The melody still climbs, but the shifted key is what makes it feel sad. Sometimes, it's CHANGE that makes music "sad" in comparison to what came before. I think films are a great tool for understanding how context can change what a piece of music communicates.

While you’re right, 9/10 songs using minor scales are sad, melancholic, or even angry. For most people, a minor progression void of context, or placed in a different context as this phrase is repeatedly, will always sound like a negative emotion. When put in a major context and suddenly throwing something like this in, you can get an unsettling feeling. Like this happy moment is about to be torn away

As a musician, i feel physical, mental, and spiritual pain watching this video. Songs in minor keys do not all sound sad/ominous. You can literally do a lot of other emotions with minor keys, if you know what you are doing and how you do it. These same notes are used a lot as ostinatos( note repetition patterns ) with or without syncopation. There's happy and epic Christmas songs and a lot of other songs with that same note structure, and not all major keys sound happy. There are a lot of factors that make a song sound sad/happy Minor and major may be use more to certain emotions because the way they sound, but they are not a determinating factor. One factor that might attribute an emotion to a certain music structure is culture, and the image that this culture attributes to that emotion. So, for a lot of Eastern culture, they have a different concept of what a song structure feels like. Some cultures don't even differentiate emotion in minor and major and a lot of cultures don't use the same musical theory as we do here in Western culture This is something we Westerners do. Some cultures don't even use the same tuning system, with different notes and pitches, not different note names, no, different notes, and pitches themselves. Our ears have become used to the sound of our tuning and note system. For us, some culture's tuning system would sound jarring or out of tune And so would ours to them.

I agree, and I have an example of this occurrence in further detail - Charol of the bells has the melody as well, and the song sounds ominous because of a bunch of musical factors: This melody contributes to that, but also the staccato, the descending tetrachord bass line (used in western baroque & classical music for creating melancholy theming), accented notes, ~Presto (~160) tempo, and borrowed meter/syncopation, not following the beat pattern. All of these small decisions the composer made contribute to the uneasiness and in general terms, "sadness". It being minor is only one of several factors that create the sadness, and the mode added, the "sadder" or "happier" a score becomes. Even describing music as having emotion is an abstract idea, haha.

It works cause of the connotation that's become embedded in our culture. Minor keys, half steps, descending patterns don't necessarily mean any of the above. They can but there's no formula to this. And definitely none of these inherently imply death as Dies Irae does. Anyways, one of my favorite uses is in the opening of the Beetlejuice musical where the chorus actual sings the words too. A little jab at how often the melody is used, like "yeah here it is let's get that out of the way".

It's so cool that there's psychology to music, & I think it's so incredible that music, which is basically Vibration, affects humans in such specific ways, & causes us to make connections. I think there's something to that, like when they say frequencies were used for creation of the universe, & to theories of like, the pyramids being built by using certain frequencies to levitate the massive blocks, & other theories. Amazing!

Who/what trained our ears to not like notes that are so close together?

Probably dies irae. Some composers decided to use half steps in the song for funerals, which started that connection, which strengthened over time as the song was performed more in thst context, and more composers used close intervals and a minor key in "sad" contexts. Additionally, the minor second interval (half step) is very dissonant. It's like the two notes are rubbing against each other, because the sound waves are so close to being in sync but they're not. Typically, European composers of yesteryear favoured consonance over dissonance. The music that we listen to today is generally derived from that, and it's what we're used to. If you listen to music from other cultures, such as Gamelan, it uses intervals not present on a piano (microtones) and theres more dissonance. But their ears are used to that, because that's what happened to be the music favoured in their culture.

its complicated but in the canon of western classical music, simpler interval ratios (e.g. perfect fifth- 3:2) tend to sound consonant, while intervals which can only be expressed with higher integers (such as these- 16:15 and 9:8) sound more dissonant. someone who grew up with a different musical culture may have the opposite intuition.
@interrexclamacion
9 ай бұрын
The closer the notes, the more complex the interval between their pitch, measured in hertz or vibrations per second. The human ear is able to differentiate the intervals between notes, and while there is definitely cultural conditioning, humans throughout many times, cultures, and surroundings have generally found simple intervals (1:2, 1:3, 2:3, 3:4) more consonant and nice sounding, while more complex intervals sound more dissonant (the half step talked about in this video can have a variety of just intonated intervals, but most commonly it is 15:16, 16:17, or even 135:128). Along with this, very close notes cause a beating sound (called a beat), as the sound waves go in and out of phase and boost and cancel eachother out at a constant rate (if you play to two notes and listen closely you can hear it getting quieter and louder). Also, because your ears and brain don't perceive sound perfectly, but have many complex processes behind the structure of our ear and brain and how they interpret sound (our ability to hear didn't evolve to make everything sound clear, it evolved to help us hear danger and communicate with eachother), we perceive the auditory illusion of combination tones. In simplest terms, when it have two notes playing together, let's say at 300 hertz and 350 hertz, you also very quietly hear the pitches that are the two frequencies added and subtracted, so in this you will hear 50 hertz and 750 hertz tones quietly. Notes closer together create even more dissonant combination tones with even more complex intervals. This isn't the main reason, but it's a nice cherry on top.

@LSqre is definitely right that it's just dies irae and western classical music. If your brain doesn't make the connection to irae, it won't sound bad. A perfect example is a lot of Arabic music that uses a different scale consisting of many half steps. One example being a beautiful song called Arabesque. In this music, it uses dissonance and half steps, but because the entire scale around it is different, it doesn't give that same dark give because your brain just doesn't notice it.

Urg. Lot’s of suspect explanations. Minor music: not always sad. Highly depends on the culture and motif. Same applies for the “direction” of pitches (some people don’t tie pitch perception vertical location, for one). An argument about intervallic relationships within a key and chord structure could be stronger, but again, culturally dependent.
