Jacob Collier: Moon River - Harmonic Analysis

In this episode of 'Listening in', I analyse Jacob Collier's astonishing arrangement of 'Moon River'. I focus on how he moves between the 8 different keys*, or pitch centres, in the arrangement, as well as using transcriptions to highlight certain chords and progressions. This is one of the most complex a cappella arrangements he's ever made, and all done without using a piano.

*In the video, I state that Jacob moves to A4 = 432 from A4 = 440 from the second to the third verse. In actually fact, this is a shift to A4 = 427.47 - down a quarter tone. This was confirmed by an Instagram post by Jacob on 16 June (https://www.instagram.com/p/Byxwxy3ga...) - he says he shifted the music up a semitone and a half whilst recording the video, making this verse in the original D half sharp major.
