D Epic Borrowed Chords — I – bVI – bIII – bVII
The D I–bVI–bIII–bVII progression (D – Bb – F – C) borrows chords from the parallel minor to create an instantly cinematic, heroic atmosphere. The contrast between bright and dark chords is powerful. With sevenths (DMaj7 – BbMaj7 – FMaj7 – C7), it becomes even more grandiose.
