Comments: This is a real ear-training workout, but worth it if it's right! A lot of mental tricks with pitch relativity against the other parts and crunchiness so watch out! If you back off on the very last chord compared to 2nd-last, the tonic's chord (Db) is still implied even though the root note gets taken off... this effect is best when you hold the Dbmaj9 chord longer than the final chord.

Melody shifts from upper tenor to baritone to lower tenor and finishes out in its own aurora borealis-like way.
