Balance between Perfection & “Inspiration”—part 4


Balance between Perfection & “Inspiration”—part 4 

The Picardy 3rd chord is awesome.     Simply put, the Picardy 3rd chord is a major chord (happy sound) at the end of a minor song (melancholy sound).  
Definition: .A Picardy third a major third in the final tonic chord of a composition written in a minor key.
Lesson learned?  Sometimes life is tough - really tough.  But it will be okay in the end.  God will take those minor chords and progress them perfectly into his Major plan.  Sometimes we just need to hold on for the Picardy 3rd.
