Composing in Modes

[@jareshchan5987]

Thank you so much for this. I am really interested in Music Theory, and I am trying to compose in D Mixolydian Mode, and this is really helpful. The product of my first phrase, I am quite happy with.

I found this to be very useful. Thank you. Do these concepts apply more to classical music?

[@neylabak1]

Very useful video thank you

im confused about the cadence use and the functions of subdominant and so because i understand this is tonal music????

[@justinemendoza902]

precisely, its modal, not tonal. So the hierarchy its different, the sun isn't the Tonality anymore, but the Mode and using harmony to empathize the fact that you are working and moving through a particular mode.

[@BsktImp]

Does the same idea of functional harmony (tonic, pre-dominant, dominant) extend to all modes of the major scale in the same way?

[@Remour]

Modes typically don’t harmony that is functional in the way that major and minor are. Instead, they are either used as “color” over a functional progression or rely more on voice leading.

besides maybe the tonic, not really

Sounds like Scarborough Fair

[@johnhill762]

Great writing. End result is odd. With better rhythm and sound selection, it would sound very good.

Interesting, to call the dorian 7th from 1 7 to 1 the folky and theoretically forbidden kadenz 😅 now I know... I always use it😅
