What does it mean when A song is in the key of C but uses the black notes Example is the famous super Mario theme?
JohnKate
In the Mario theme, there are two reasons why black notes are used in C major. One reason is because of chromaticism, which is when there is movement in half steps (or semitones), and in the Mario theme, the G sharp in the part that is E C G G# A F F A is an example of this. Another reason that is in the Mario theme is mode mixture, which is taking notes from a parallel minor key into a song with a major key, or vice versa. An example of this is when the E flat from c minor is used in the Mario theme.
There are also other ways this can happen, which aren't in the Mario theme. One way this happens is by a song temporarily being in a different key even though the temporary key is not notated. Another way is through the use of twelve-tone technique (or serialism), which uses all of the twelve tones that make up an octave.
