People actually get married to this chord. At least in the Anglosphere they do. It’s from Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March.”
After a monotonal ceremony of gifts, vows, and proclamation, this dissonant chord kicks in on pipe organ. It’s an A minor 6th, which has the satanic interval between the F# and C known as a tritone. Let’s give this matrimonial tritone a nice portmanteau name. Something like…Matritoney (mā’trə-tō’nē)?
The “Wedding March”, like the “Happy Birthday Song”, and other old standbys are declining in popularity. Instead of Wagner and Mendelssohn, people wed to auto-tuned R & B dance-marches.
But prerecorded music won’t last forever…
Beware:
Lest weddings be silent, your children might have to learn to sing!
Thanks Brian!
There’ll be a special Solar Music post for ya, once I work out all the science involved.
