We do Autumn Leaves in F/dmin. None the less, my earlier views on Autumn Leaves have been widely eviscerated. I slipped that in to be mischeivous. Vol II indeed. Fortunately, I have a few loose ends to pull together with Vol I to keep me busy. This whole series of threads and posts on CMGs certainly...

chespernevins revealed this in his "cycle of doom" thread. I am not sure that one can resolve, as chesper claimed to ANY sharp-lying scale, but you can for sure to the two sharp-lying scales implied by the CMG's. I think this may get into the whole issue of chord substitution. The subs ar...

Here's a nice quote: Conceptual chordmodes demonstrate that the lydian Scale, the seminal scale of VTG, sounds a horizontal relationship with its mode II minor, mode V major, mode II major and mode VII minor triads. page 123. (I could say that Bb Lydian sounds a horizontal relationship with most of ...

What REALLY is the difference between II and IIh? But I'll look up GR's distinction. On 126 says that if it's a v, you can use the 11 member scales of the parent LC with it. If it's an h, the 8 PMGS of the concptual parent LC scale (i.e., the far left column) resolve to it. That makes sense because...

What REALLY is the difference between II and IIh? Without referring back to the text. A IIv, expresses unity with say a D7 chord, it's vertical tonal gravity with C LYD as the parent scale and C the lydian tonic. IIh would be like blowing on D mixolydian, which only resolves to its D major triad. B...

I'm still trying to sort out pp 122 - 126, while vamping on this:

||: C- [LYD.DIM I] C [LYD I] |

Every time I think I've grasped some kind of certainty in my understanding, I find something that again calls that into question. I feel like a Lydian Chromatic Scale, whose tonic is being "cut off" by another LCS in a sharp direction. (try to get a visual to that - kind of like the carpe...

Can the CMG IIIh (aeolian), interpreted as a minor tonic station, then be re-interpreted as a VI minor tonic station, thus making the member scales of G LC available to it?

Just to keep my eggs in one basket: In my 'pre-close read' state of coming to terms with CMGs, a few hypotheses: CMG is a bridge to Vol 2 and in a sense an initial rapprochement with traditional major/minor theory of harmonic movement and as such, a prelude to Vol 2. It takes into account the tradit...

In the morning fog of the first cup of coffee, your post and the reference (pgs 208-215 of LCCOTO) are a lot to chew on. In my 'pre-close read' state of coming to terms with CMGs, a few hypotheses : CMG is a bridge to Vol 2 and in a sense an initial rapprochement with traditional major/minor theory ...

Here's a view of Chart A from the 'tradtional' modal perspective:

The CMGs are the mixolydian and ionian resting on major triads and the aeolian and phyrgian on the minor triads.

I just looked at the lead article, which is very nice.
