Minor to Major

The change in keys, typical in most symphonies, can relate to life.  I have heard many works starting in a minor key, sounding sad or foreboding, and ending in a major key, sounding joyful or triumphant.  Multiple changes are often heard throughout a piece.

Life can be like that.  An attitude of gratitude can turn a hopeless feeling into a happy state of mind.  That is my experience.

In a different sense of the words, focusing on minor tasks of little importance, should change to major accomplishments, as one matures and learns to prioritize.  I am still working on that.  However, it should be noted that small acts of service have major effects on the lives of others, especially when passed forward … with love.
