SilverWolf Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 What would be the Diatonic order for the (D) Dorian scale? Quote
SilverWolf Posted July 13, 2019 Author Posted July 13, 2019 I might be asking the wrong question, I mean the chord functions. Tonic, Supertonic, Mediant, Subdominant, Dominant, SubMediant, and Leading tone. Quote
Ken320 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) The diatonic steps for the Dorian mode are 1,2,b3,4,5,6,b7 .. You would use those intervals regardless of your starting note. Edited July 15, 2019 by Ken320 Quote
SilverWolf Posted July 15, 2019 Author Posted July 15, 2019 For the purposes of cadence/resolution(ending on the 4th/5th chord), is the reason I want to know if the chord functions are consistent across all 7 modes of major. Quote
Ken320 Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 I would say that the first triad of any mode represents its "tonic," which I put in quotes because they don't always get there with a ii-V-I cadence or a subdominet-dominant cadence. But they are tonal centers nonetheless. 1 Quote
