Borrowed chords (modal mixture) in real songs

Chords borrowed from the parallel key, most often from minor into major: ♭VII (B♭ in C), ♭VI (A♭), ♭III (E♭) and minor iv (Fm). They darken a major-key song without leaving it.

2937 songs in the library use this, including music by The Beatles, Richard Rodgers, Stevie Wonder and George Gershwin. Every song has left- and right-hand piano voicings to step through on an 88-key keyboard, plus a breakdown of the harmony and structure.
