  Minor scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A minor scale in musical theory is a diatonic scale whose third scale degree is an interval of a minor third above the tonic.
Minor modes use the same set of key signatures as major modes; whichever signature corresponds to the step pattern of the natural minor scale is considered the key signature for that minor mode.
The relative major is found by raising the minor tonic note by a tone and a semitone, which is three half-steps in equal temperament, and in any event an interval of a minor third.

 G minor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G minor is a minor scale based on G, consisting of the pitches G, A, B-flat, C, D, E-flat, F#, and G (harmonic minor scale).
G minor is one of two flat key signatures that requires a sharp for the leading tone (the other is D minor).

 Minor
The natural minor scale has the same tones as the major scale, but uses the sixth tone of the major scale as its tonic.
The melodic minor scale is the same as the natural minor with the exception that the sixth and seventh tones are raised by a semitone (half step) when the scale is ascending.
The harmonic minor is the same as the natural minor, except that the seventh tone is raised by a semitone (half step) both ascending and descending, e.g.:

 WTC I/18 in G# minor - Prelude
To accommodate both traits, the tempo of the prelude should be fairly swift, without conveying the impression of energetic activity in the eighth-notes; rather, a desirable effect is that of a gentle swing in half-bar pulses.

minor, the bass entry follows with a subdominant-tonic version, and the redundant tenor statement closes once again on the minor dominant.

 A.R.S. § 13-703(G)(3)-MINOR PARTICIPATION
The defendant argued that his participation in the murder was relatively minor and that it was a mitigating circumstance under (G)(3).

 Bach Choir of Bethlehem
In this sense, the Mass in G minor may be seen as a more coherent, unified work than is the Mass in G major, which uses more works for its source material.
As in the Mass in G major, BWV 236, the interior movements of the “Gloria” of Mass in G minor, BWV 235, are a succession of arias for various solo voices – in this case, bass, alto, and tenor.
Here, the music returns to minor (the “Christe eleison” section was in the major mode), and the distinctive feature of the subject is a downward leap of a tritone (bracketed in red), the most dissonant interval in western music, and among the most difficult to sing.

 The Joachim Raff Society - Piano Suite in G minor
The Piano Suite in G minor op.162 followed its predecessor the D minor Suite after eleven years but is similar to that great work in many respects.
Although it doesn't seem to have had the great popularity of the D minor Suite, it still gained many performances and the mighty second movement was frequently played as an independent concert piece.
Oscillating between G minor and G major the opening Allegro begins with an improvisatory feel which it never really abandons despite, as its title suggests, being in sonata form.

 Minor Keys - II
Each minor key is related to one of the major keys, or to put it another way, each major key has a relative minor key.
It might be major, or it might be in the relative minor (or it could also be in one of the modes, but for now we'll limit this discussion to major and minor.) We have to look at the notes and chords to tell whether it's major or minor.
These two keys, the minor key and its relative major, share the same scale notes (except for the raised 7 note in harmonic minor), which means they share some of the same chords.

 Lesson- 'Minor-Key Fingerstyle'
In this lesson, we'll depart from that tack by taking a look at a minor tuning—a variant on G minor: C G D G Bb D. As you'll see, there are many advantages to minor tunings, such as cool tonal opportunities, easier fingerings, and a host of new compositional ideas.
Since minor chords are a significant part of any key (the ii, iii, and vi chords of major keys are always minor), this is a real drawback to major tunings.
In G minor with a C bass, any one-finger barre can create a five-note minor chord analogous to the major one-finger barre chords in open G. But here's the kicker: it is also extremely easy to play major chords.

 Piano Concerto in G minor, Op. 33
Dvořák was very much aware of his indebtedness to Brahms (who remained a close friend the rest of his life), and it is thought that in the Piano Concerto he was as eager to please him as he was to satisfy Karel Slavkovský, the Czech pianist who had asked for the work.
More than a few commentators have felt this concerto was modeled, on a somewhat smaller scale, after the D minor Concerto Brahms composed some 18 years earlier.
Apart from the question of influence or model, the Concerto is a beautiful and inspiriting work, rich in Dvořák's characteristic melodic abundance and vivid coloring—and yet there was general agreement for some time that the Piano Concerto, despite his best efforts to write "pianistically," was a less than ideal vehicle for the solo instrument.

So, using the same method as we used in building the G major chord, we can find the notes of the Gm chord by starting on the "G" note and moving up to the note one and a half steps above "G".
So, the notes in the G minor chord are- "G", "Bb", and "D".
The only difference between the G major chord and the G minor chord is G major has a "B" note and G minor has a "Bb" note.

 WTC II/18 in G# minor - Prelude
minor, a secondary key the listener of 18th century music is trained to anticipate.
This conclusion, however, is omitted twice and only appears at the end of the second sequence (where it is by now very much longed for), together with the harmonic resolution into the dominant key (see bar 8d).
The structural layout of the G# minor fugue is evident from both the entering order of the two subjects and the design and material of the episodes.
