Harmony analysis

Celine Dion – Immortallity: key and chord analysis

The song opens on D and ends on D. Its chords belong to both D major and Bm, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

D major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = C# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = G (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

B minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = G (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = A (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the D major side because it both starts and finishes on D and D is heard 30 times against 9 for Bm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from B minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to D or to Bm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is D major and its relative B minor (2 sharps). 13 different chords appear 100 times in total; 12 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. E acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.

Chord movement

G D DIV → Iplagal cadence BmVI → III ×8
A/C# Bm DV → videceptive cadence BmVII → iAeolian arrival ×5
G D/F# DIV → Iplagal cadence BmVI → III ×4
Em Bm Dii → vi Bmiv → iminor plagal ×3
A D DV → Iauthentic cadence BmVII → III ×2
G/A D DIV → Iplagal cadence BmVI → III ×2

The move to watch is G → D, heard 8 times. From the D side it reads IV → I (plagal cadence: the soft 'amen' ending); from the Bm side it is VI → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

D major pentatonic and B minor pentatonic are the same five notes (D – E – F# – A – B): start from D for a brighter phrase, from B for a bluesier one.
Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over Em, land on E, G, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over G, land on G, B, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on D, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is D, Em, G, Bm — I–ii–IV–vi from the D side, III–iv–VI–i from the Bm side. E adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to A. Keep an ear on G → D (IV → I in D, VI → III in Bm): plagal cadence — the soft 'amen' ending. It closes on D, letting the D side have the last word.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
