Same Melody, Different Emotions: Writing Sad Music
Are chords the key to writing emotional music? Many composers and songwriters rely heavily on harmony to create emotion, but chords alone aren’t enough! In this video, I explain why other musical parameters—like energy, size, orchestration, and dynamics—are just as important in shaping how music makes us feel.
By understanding how to balance harmony with these other elements, you can write music that truly resonates with listeners. Whether you’re composing for film, games, or personal projects, this approach will help you craft more impactful and expressive music.
