Hi Pedja, thanks for the next assignments !

I am currently working on the triads. But I am cutting in on the practice to answer the 4th assignment questions below :

Example 1

// C / B min / A min / B min / C / B min / A min / G //

I think this is on G Major. With Amin, Bmin and C, C is obviously the IV so G is I. With A min it could have been a C Major as well but in that case B would have been a diminished chord, not minor.

// G Maj / A min / Bmin / C Maj / D Maj / E min / F# dim / G Maj //

Example 2

// D min / G min / C / A min / D min / Bb / C / A min //

This is probably on a F Major. We have a G min and A min so G min is probably the II and A min the III.

Plus, I learned the Circle of Fifth a few weeks ago and if we have a Bb and the A is not flat or sharp then it could be a F or C but if it had been a C then G would have been Major and not minor. Not sure the latest reflection is correct tho.

// F Maj / G min / A min / Bb Maj / C Maj / D min / E dim / F Maj //

Example 3

// F min7 / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 / F min7 / C min / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 //

This is probably on Eb Major. We have a Bb 7 so it's probably the V and consequently the key is Eb.

// Eb Maj7 / F min7 / G min7 / Ab Maj 7 / Bb 7 / C min7 / D min7b5 / Eb Maj7 //

Example 4

// Eb maj7 / D min7 / G min7 / F7 / Eb maj7 / C min7 / Bb maj7 / F7 //

Here, we have F7 which is probably the V so it's probably a Bb Major key.

// Bb Maj 7 / C min7 / D min7 / Eb Maj7 / F7 / G min7 / A min7b5 / Bb Maj7 //

Example 5

// D maj7 / B min7 / E min7 / A7 / D maj7 / F# min7 / G maj7 / A7 //

Once again, I start from the A7 which is probably the V and go down to D Maj7 as the key.

// D Maj7 / E min7 / F# min7 / G Maj7 / A7 / B min7 / C# min7b5 / D Maj7 //

I still have a question about Cadences. I still can't understand why, in the case of your example (C Major) we talk about D Dorian as I IV and I IImin.

First, why don't we write that I min IV and I min II min ?

Second, why do we talk about I and not II as we still have C as a reference ? I find that pretty confusing and not very logical. I probably miss something here...

Hi Pedja, thanks for the next assignments !

I am currently working on the triads. But I am cutting in on the practice to answer the 4th assignment questions below :

// Eb Maj7 / F min7 / G min7 / Ab Maj 7 / Bb 7 / C min7 / D min7b5 / Eb Maj7 //

// Bb Maj 7 / C min7 / D min7 / Eb Maj7 / F7 / G min7 / A min7b5 / Bb Maj7 //




Once again, I start from the A7 which is probably the V and go down to D Maj7 as the key.

// D Maj7 / E min7 / F# min7 / G Maj7 / A7 / B min7 / C# min7b5 / D Maj7 //

Let me answer first your questions and then I will let you know what more I expect from you
I still have a question about Cadences. I still can't understand why, in the case of your example (C Major) we talk about D Dorian as I IV and I IImin.

First, why don't we write that I min IV and I min II min ?

Second, why do we talk about I and not II as we still have C as a reference ? I find that pretty confusing and not very logical. I probably miss something here...

Every mode is a scale as it self. C major scale = C Ionian. If we talk about C Ionian we know the harmony the way we learned it so far. Now, as soon as we look at C major scale starting from D note, and play it D to D , we now get a totally new mode/scale. This mode is called Dorian mode. It has totally different order of scale degrees and interval formula from Ionian/Major scale. This is why we treat each mode independently. This is why now in D Dorian D is I min , it is not II min! II min in D Dorian is what? It is E minor! Because 2nd scale degree from D note (whole step away = major 2nd) is E note which happens to be minor chord as well. This is why IV from D is G note! IV scale degree by definition must be perfect 4th away from the root of the scale/mode. D is root , perfect 4th away is G. Since we derived D Dorian from C major scale, we know that in C major G is V and is also G7 (dominant 7th chord). That same thing transfers now in D Dorian, G is G major or G7! Hope that makes sense now. Let me know if you have more questions.

Regarding assignment, you did all great except you didn't analyze the modes chord progressions were in. You found out original major scale they came from but the essential thing is to figure out MODAL HARMONY here. So Example 1, let me help you a bit so that you can do the rest. You found out chords in that progression come from G major scale. This is 100% true, no mistake there. Now, what is the first chord in the actual chord progression? It is C or C maj7 chord right? What is C in relation to G major scale? Is a III II I, what is it? It is a perfect 4th away from G so it is IV! Now check this out What kind of mode do we have on IV scale degree in any major scale? IT IS LYDIAN!!! So this chord progression is in C LYDIAN not G IONIAN. Why ? Because our first chord in the chord progression is C something, and that C something is now a scale/mode by itself. This is why we need to analyze scale degrees all in relationship with C LYDIAN. So if we have C maj7, that is obviously Imaj7. What about B min7? Well that is major7th away from root so we now would write VII min7. What about A min7 ? That is major 6th away from root so we would write VI min7. I hope you get the idea now. I want you to do this in all the examples! Extra hint : the last example might already be correct , but then again I might be wrong

Example 1

// C / B min / A min / B min / C / B min / A min / G //

Sooo, as this is in GMaj. C is IV so it's Lydian. We have a progression as :

// Imaj7 / VIImin7 / VImin7 / VIImin7 / Imaj7 / VIImin7 / VImin7 / Vmaj7 //

Example 2

// D min / G min / C / A min / D min / Bb / C / A min //

This is on F Major scale. D is IV so it's Aeolian.

// Imin7 / IVmin7 / II7 / Vmin7 / Imin7 / bVImaj7 / IImin7 / Vmin7 //

Example 3

// F min7 / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 / F min7 / C min / Eb / Bb7 / Bb7 //

This is Eb major. F is II so it's Dorian.

// Imin7 / bVIImaj7 / bIV7 / Imin7 / Vmin7 / bVIImin7 / bIV7 / bIV7 //

Example 4

// Eb maj7 / D min7 / G min7 / F7 / Eb maj7 / C min7 / Bb maj7 / F7 //

This is Bb major so Eb is IV so it's Lydian.

// bImaj7 / VIImin7 / IIImin7 / II7 / bImaj7 / VImin7 / bVmaj7 / II7 //

Example 5

// D maj7 / B min7 / E min7 / A7 / D maj7 / F# min7 / G maj7 / A7 //

This is D major scale. D is I so it's Ionian.

// Imaj7 / VImin7 / IImin7 / V7 / Imaj7 / #IIImin7 / IVmaj7 / V7 //



Now, if I refer to the post about cadences I cannot find all those progressions in the cadences list. Any reason for that that could help me understand all this a bit further ?

Next step is to record my REC and post it. I practiced a lot. I will try to do that soon.

// Imaj7 / VIImin7 / VImin7 / VIImin7 / Imaj7 / VIImin7 / VImin7 / Vmaj7 //




This is on F Major scale. D is IV so it's Aeolian.

// Imin7 / IVmin7 / II7 / Vmin7 / Imin7 / bVImaj7 / IImin7 / Vmin7 //




This is Eb major. F is II so it's Dorian.

// Imin7 / bVIImaj7 / bIV7 / Imin7 / Vmin7 / bVIImin7 / bIV7 / bIV7 //



This is Bb major so Eb is IV so it's Lydian.

// bImaj7 / VIImin7 / IIImin7 / II7 / bImaj7 / VImin7 / bVmaj7 / II7 //



This is D major scale. D is I so it's Ionian.

// Imaj7 / VImin7 / IImin7 / V7 / Imaj7 / #IIImin7 / IVmaj7 / V7 //

Keil check places where you put bI, bIV and #III. All those are not correct, try to correct them soon! Look forward to your triads lesson take!

You will see in cadences thread how I listed cadence for each mode in major scale. For Dorian that could be I min to II min or I min to IV7. That could mean for example in key of C major, we got D dorian and chords would be in D Dorian D min to E min ( I min to II min) and D min to G7 (I min to IV7). This is just short cadence, when you put it all together like I did in examples above, it becomes hidden and more musical to extent. Hope that makes more sense

Hi Pedja,

Sorry but with Christmas, New Year, friends, family, I was unable to record my video. It takes me a lot of time to record. I will try to do it now...
