Some of the many famous songs that use Diatonic Harmony:        Let It Be                        No Woman No Cry                 Jolene         Scarborough Fair            Sunday Bloody Sunday          Lean On Me     Hey Jude                     Pachabel’s Canon in D        Amazing Grace                             Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone                           

So, How Does The Kordia Work, Musically Speaking? You might have noticed that no matter which of the buttons you press, The Kordia sounds pretty good. This is because it uses a musical idea called Diatonic Harmony. SImply put, Diatonic Harmony uses the notes of a single ‘Key’ (think of a Key as a musical family of notes). The reason the notes and chords sound good together is that they all belong to the same musical family!
