That was a very interesting fact to me. I don't know the answer. Maybe because they are sad?

it's more cantabile, dramatic and lyric
Learning:

Chopin Polonaise Op. 53
Brahms Op. 79 No. 2
Rachmaninoff Op. 16 No. 4 and 5

In Debussy's la mer, when the chorus sings, I get the feeling they're mermaids and it's not in a minor key.

Didn't Ariel sing in a major key in Disney's "the little mermaid"?
