Hi everyone,
Here we are again with our weekly playlist. This week we are looking at the major third interval. We’ve selected ten songs for our playlist.
Jazz Standard - When the Saints Go Marching In
You’ve probably heard of this one. It is a very famous song. In the first two notes, which repeat itself, you can hear the major third interval (D-F#).
Saybia - The Day After Tomorrow
This is an older song from the Danish band Saybia. You can hear the major third in the melody, when he’s singing DO-BIRDS (A-C#).
Vivaldi - Spring
The composition starts directly with a major third going from E-G#.
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
The verse starts with a major third interval when Cyndi sings I-come. It repeats itself in the next verse.
Forrest Gump - Main Title
As a young girl, I was in love with this piano piece, the Feather Theme. If you listen carefully you can hear the melody going from D-F#, in the first melodie line.
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
The first two notes of this song make a very low major third, going from C-E.
John Lennon - Imagine
You can hear John singing THERE’S-NO, going from G-B, which makes a major third. This repeats itself many times, for example IF-TRY and HELL-BELOW.
Rihanna - Stay
In the second sentence of the song Rihanna sings A-COLD going from C-E.
Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill
In this famous classic the melody is going from Eb-G in the first two notes.
The Carpenters - Close To You
In this very melodic classic there is a major third interval in the melody at Ev’ry-time (Bb-D) in the verse.
