Talk:Tierce de Picardie
The paragraph about "scientific explanation" needs to be updated -
- Discourse around science and musical affect is contentious and not universally-accepted fact.
- Also, citation is needed to support the claim that the Tierce de Picardie was developed "to sound happy".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.32.35.166 (talk • contribs) 17:29 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Name theory[change source]
When I was studying early music at uni, I can remember being told a story about the name. The story claimed that there was some sort of weakness in the church building at Picardie. The organist was worried that playing a loud and sustained minor chord at the end of piece of music would bring the church crashing down. So to avoid disaster he always played a major chord. I have never seen this story written anywhere. --Peterdownunder (talk) 12:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
