My daughters piano teacher recently gave me a "refresher" course on chord construction- very interesting really, think I wrote like 15 songs right after!!

Bernie I think it's holding down more than one key at a time.
Some arbitrary names were assigned to them by folks in the "way back times".
It's my guess, I could be wrong.

I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.
