Harmony analysis
Model – Kuğunun Ağıtı: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on F. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it opens on Gm and Gm is heard 19 times against 2 for Bb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Analysis
The key pair is Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 6 different chords appear 45 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
Chord movement
- Dm Gm Bbiii → vi Gmv → inatural-minor cadence ×6
- Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×5
- F Gm BbV → videceptive cadence GmVII → iAeolian arrival ×4
- F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×2
- D# Gm BbIV → vi GmVI → iVI → i ×2
- D# F BbIV → VIV → V GmVI → VIIVI → VII ×1
The move to watch is Dm → Gm, heard 6 times. From the Gm side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the Bb side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Dm, land on D, F, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The first chord is Gm; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Gm, Dm, F, Cm — vi–iii–V–ii from the Bb side, i–v–VII–iv from the Gm side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Dm → Gm (iii → vi in Bb, v → i in Gm): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. The final chord is F; the ear comes to rest in Bb.
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.
