Harmony analysis

Madrigal – Sen ya da Hiç: key and chord analysis

The song opens on C#m and ends on A. Its chords belong to both E major and C#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

E major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = D# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = A (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

C# minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = A (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = B (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it opens on C#m and C#m is heard 15 times while E never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from E major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to E or to C#m; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 3 different chords appear 29 times in total; 3 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

A C#m EIV → vi C#mVI → iVI → i ×11

The move to watch is A → C#m, heard 11 times. From the C#m side it is VI → i (VI → i: falls a half step into home); from the E side it reads IV → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (E – F# – G# – B – C#): start from E for a brighter phrase, from C# for a bluesier one.
Over C#m, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D#dim, land on D#, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is C#m; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is C#m, A, D#dim — vi–IV–vii° from the E side, i–VI–ii° from the C#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on A → C#m (IV → vi in E, VI → i in C#m): VI → i — falls a half step into home. The final chord is A; the ear comes to rest in E.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
