Hello musicians,
Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' ends with two repetitions
of the main theme, with full choir, brass and everything.
The bass is:
E G F C, E G F C, E G A B, E G F# ?????, E G F C etc.
It's the F# ????? - the surprising modulation just before
the theme repeats - that I'm after. Most PF harmony is quite
straightforward but this one defeats me... Anyone knows this
chord progression ?
TIA,
Wouldn't that be in the key of E, Fons? If so the F# is the II chord,
which would typically resolve to the IV, or B7 in that key. That
wouldn't be a modulation, it would be a "turn-around," and especially so
since the progression continues on with another E.
