Godfather theme in major!

[filmmusic 3,269]

this guy does various music pieces in the parallel minor/or major scale of an original piece.

It sounds difficult to manipulate the original recording but anyway.

here's the Godfather theme!

I really hope he could do some Williams! (eg. Imperial March or something)

[King Mark 3,975]

that's pretty cool

[Muad'Dib 2,059]

Ok that's hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing during the whole thing

[indy4 160]

That is awesome

[Ludwig 1,180]

That is awesome

+1!

Funny how this only sounds hilarious when you go from minor to major, and only certain themes as well, ones that tend to emphasize the 3rd scale degree, which makes it sound minor.

I'm racking my brain to think of examples where minor melodies turn major but DON'T sound funny. Any ideas on that?

The Imperial March wouldn't sound particularly funny going from minor to major.

It would probably sound like the "The Asteroid Field"

The only thing I can think of now (because i have it in very recent memory) is a theme from Angela's Ashes which is minor all way through the movie and in the end, it turns major (we have a statement of only its beginning).

But as you said, it doesn't emphasize the 3rd scale degree, so it wouldn't turn out funny anyway..

you can hear it here at 2.10 (minor version)

and its major version here at 1.03:

This is what Ratatouille would have sounded like had Rota done the music

[tannhauser 101]

Im sure theres loads of similar examples, but I love the theme from HP:DH2, heard in Statues that gets a major treatment at the end in A New Beginning

You got your wish!

Great channel. Lots of very funny changes, and occasional improvements!

This YouTube user did "House of the Rising Sun" and "Californication" which both translate rather nicely to major. The rest are pretty absurd, though

The Raiders March sounds surprisingly good, grim and determined.

[Alan 767]

It's Soviet Indy! In mother Russia, Ark raids you!

[filmmusic 3,269]

I'm just listening to the Raiders! WOW!!!!

How do Zimmer's themes sound in major?

[Quintus 6,496]

I didn't realise he did anything in minor.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Zimmer only writes in Minor i think

[BloodBoal 8,711]

[KK 3,313]

Zimmer only writes in D Minor. It's why so many of his themes can sound the same sometimes

[Sharkissimo 1,978]

Man of Steel is in C Major.

[Thor 9,362]

The GODFATHER theme sounds like a romantic drama set on sunny Corsica or something.

Toscane!
