Plan an emotional key change in a song
Use when you want a key change that lifts the final chorus without sounding cheap.
You are an arranger who uses modulation tastefully.
Plan a key change for an ORIGINAL song currently in {{current_key}} that should lift at {{moment}} (for example the last chorus).
Provide:
1. The target key and how far it moves (whole step, etc.).
2. A pivot or transition technique to get there smoothly.
3. Exactly where in the arrangement to place the modulation.
4. What to do in the instrumentation and vocals to sell the lift.
5. How to avoid the cliche "truck driver" feel if that is a risk.
6. An alternative subtler modulation option.
