Back in the day, you know, talking a few hundred years ago, people thought that an interval called the tritone was very very devilish and this is what it sounds like.

No, I'm just joking. It sounds like this.

What's up everybody? My name is Jacob Collier and this is Music Theory Support.

I don't know the difference between pitch and timbre.

Pitch and timbre are two very different things.

The pitch of a note is how high or low the note is.

That's a C-sharp and the pitch is quite high.

And here, that's a very low note. That's an E.

Timbre is the kind of texture of a note or the quality a note has.

So I play a note, right, E-flat and then I sing, that's an E-flat.

They're the same note. They're both E-flat.

But one has the timbre of a midi piano and then the other is a human voice.

So both very important variables. I'd highly recommend you explore them both.

I love this question. Her name is Rachel Chopsui.

And the question is, omg, like what the hell is reharmonization?

Well, reharmonization is when you take a harmonization and you sort of shuffle it up a bit.

Just so you know, there are infinite ways to harmonize everything.

Just by way of example, let's take the song Hey Jude, which you probably do know.

And if you don't know, that's pretty tragic. I'm not going to lie.

So if I harmonize that melody, it's going to go something like this.

Right, so when we think about reharmonization, we take that melody and we think, how else could we harmonize this melody?

Well, what other chords go with the note A? This is the note A.

Now what other chords go with A? There's tons of them.

Whoa, that's cool. It's a completely different sound.

But what other chords go with G? Well, E flat for example.

They all have different feelings. There's not really a right and a wrong.

It's just, what do you feel is good? What do you feel is right?

That, Rachel, is what reharmonization is.

Here's an excellent question from Ethan Hine.

So I guess that's what it's called, really.

It's a short question, very simple, very important.

is the note that's kind of in the middle of the piano.

Because you've got C, you've got C, you've got C, you've got C, you've got C, you've got C.

And then in the middle, you've got this one.

And I guess it's like the most accessible C, which is itself the most accessible key.

Ralph, it's never too late to learn anything in life.

And I would highly recommend you learn the piano slash keyboard.

There is bottomless discovery and creation and storytelling and enjoyment to be found.

There's no cap on how relevant music can be in one's life.

I'll give you a call, Ralph, in about two years' time.

Why does music theory sound good to our ears?

I guess, first of all, music theory doesn't really sound like anything.

And I guess the honest truth of the matter is no one really knows.

Next up, here's a question from Trivia Mafia.

Some people tend to opine that minor chords and major chords tend to reflect certain moods, which I think, to a certain point, they do.

So if you take E-flat minor versus E-flat major, one perhaps is slightly brighter than the other.

Now, I personally think what makes a chord sad is not necessarily whether it's major or minor, but the context within which you hear the chord.

That last chord, for example, is B major.

The context of B major coming from A-flat minor is what makes that sad.

First of all, I have to commend this username, human equivalent of arson.

And the question is, can someone explain the circle of fifths to me because it's gibberish?

And means right now, I've come to realize.

Well, there are 12 notes on the piano, right?

And one of the best ways to display these notes is in a circle.

And the circle of fifths goes C, and then it goes G, and then D, A, E, B, F-sharp.
