Isi Glück's hit 'Delfin' uses 17th-century chord structures
A ZDF documentary titled ‘Terra Xplore: Why do we love Schlager?’ has revealed that the musical foundation of modern pop hits, including Isi Glück's 2023 success ‘Delfin’, dates back to the 17th century.
Musicologist Dr. Markus Henrik, also known as Dr. Pop, explained that the emotional impact of the Schlager genre often relies on ancient chord structures. Specifically, the report identifies the ‘Canon and Gigue in D Major’ by Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel as a primary influence. This work, potentially composed for the 1694 wedding of Johann Christoph Bach, established a melodic framework used by countless artists over the centuries.
The documentary notes that this musical pattern has historical longevity, citing that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart also utilized similar chord progressions in his opera ‘The Magic Flute’ nearly a century later.
