The fellowship walks inside the massive dwarven city of Dwarrowdelf. My favourite musical moment of the entire trilogy. This is a selection of my personal favourites when it comes to chord progressions that fit into the definition of “epic.” I’m writing these down as they come to me, and I’ll try to include an equal number of examples from film and video game soundtracks.
PEOPLE ARE CRAZY CHORDS FULL
If there are no beats written out, a chord lasts for the full measure. A slash (“/”) refers to the end of a measure and a hyphen (“-“) refers to a beat.

The chords in this post are written out as text. So, when we go through these examples, take note of how the composition is arranged. Even if it is a simple strings arrangement, every aspect of it contributes to which facet of the chords is being expressed and how strongly it comes across. On their own, chords don’t do much and are reliant on the arrangement for their expressive power.

But on this new one, so far, I have five, six songs already done, fully produced by me.”Īt the start of October, NAV sent out a tweet that had confirmed he had began working on NAV2 as opposed to a deluxe version of DPBA, which has become somewhat of a norm now for mainstream hip-hop acts.In this post, I'll be going through some chord progressions commonly associated with a grand feeling, or "epicness," with some examples of how they've been used in popular media. “This one, I probably did like… I was hands on every song, but myself, like four to five. “And if I want to be honest, production wise, I probably produced 80% of the next album already,” he said.

Later on when NAV began hinting at his next project, which is in the works and will likely be titled NAV2, he spoke about how much he has produced for it by himself. And it’s crazy how much traction that song is getting, compared to other songs because people like that moment.” Then, it just started, the lyrics and everything.

Tell NAV to get vulnerable on this shit.’ Then I went and started recording and Rex was like, ‘Nah, more vulnerable.’ And I got nervous and kind of scared. “Then Cash was on Rex to tell me like, ‘Yo, get vulnerable. They were making production for me and stuff, so I put my iPhone down on the piano recording and I played the chords that are on the piano in that song,” he said. “So one of my close friends, Rex Kudo, he’s a producer, he was with me in Toronto with his friends Carlton and all them. When discussing why DPBA‘s intro “Count on Me” was so intimate and emotional, NAV told the story of when he recorded the track, and how his confidants like Cash XO and others pushed him to be hist best.
