Hi Richard, the tuning I used for the Magic of Belief has much more than major or minor and I used almost all of the. The opening plays with the chords CDG, CEbG CEb^G (a "neutral" third about half way between minor and major) and CEG (except the E is a purer 3rd than 12 equal)
The main motive bottoms out at what my ears are telling me is a neutral interval against a D neutral chord (but I'm not 100% sure, I didn't work it out - could be D minor)

Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together.
Congratulations on a superb album.

Frozen eyes....
and like the wail of a crying child...
she grieves for what is lost to her...
finding solace in a shared moment....
she absently brushes the thought away....
there is no beauty in the sky....
or warmth on her face…
Celebrating my 1 yr. on this site. This just came out of the blue. Nothing planned here.
Thanks to all of you for your support and listening ears!

This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.

Very cool.
Just great. How are you doing this? You must ave some great hardware and software. Awesome to say the least.
Lovely orchestral piece!
This is a beautiful piece!!

Stopped back for another listen.

The pipes and the little Latin flourishes in the melody reminds my of Ennio Morocone. Only slightly though because it also sounds very unique :)
Missed this one too? What? How beautiful! Richard, you have a beautiful gift. w;-)
How did I miss this?! Gorgeous! w;-)
Welcome back, richard. And again, many thanks for your kind words. And yes, you are right about the strings/piano/percs blend.
I love this piece. There's something very special about it.
Overture indeed! Bravo!
This is a masterpiece!
Oh my, this is gorgeous!
Missed this one somehow. Gorgeous as always!
Richard, I have enjoyed every second of your magical journey through midi. It has been utter bliss to hear all of them together. Congratulations on a superb album. Cheers Bee
