Nicely done mark, you'll make an educated Yello (&other) music lover out of us yet! Another place where this technique is used is to add TENSION, suspense, stress, as in the music played in TV gameshows ie Jeopardy; when, as the contestants are answering the final question, the melody plays through, then repeats a semi-tone higher (slightly higher note). Note that depending on how far the melody shidts from the original key, will either create tension No matching notes from the original key--stress, tension, etc), or compliment the original (ie new key has some of the original notes in it--happyish) Does this make things less muddy? Also, I noticed the time of your reply, Do any of us keep a regular schedule???? C Mark Pulley <mrpulley@tpg.com.au> wrote:

Oh dear, I'll give it a go.
'modulates' (HARMONIC ot TONAL SHIFT) into another key ->At 1:32 the melody is played in a different key, a major second higher (let's call it 'D'). Note that D is not in the original scale (Db was).
At 1:39 ... has moved
the scale used from 1:32 to 1:39.
It then returns to the original key at 1:46
This happens again at 2:35 (D), 2:42 (E), 2:49 (back to C)
