The Sound of Minor Keys

Take a moment to listen to the following audio sample. You will probably recognize the first pass of the song as the old traditional “This Old Man.” It’s played in the key of A and uses the chords A, D, and E.

Track 33

The second time through, “This Old Man” is played in the key of A minor, using the chords Am, Dm, and Em. You can hear it has quite a different mood, tonally speaking. People often describe songs in major keys as “happy” while songs in minor keys are thought of as “sad.” That’s not always the case, but it’s a good place to begin.
