English Jon	Chord at start of Scottish dance set (22)	RE: Chord at start of Scottish dance set	16 Apr 07
That's assuming that the "honour chord" isn't a deliberate momentary fluctuation from Ionian into a mixolydian tune Ced2. Or perhaps these traditional players DONT actually understand modal theory at all...maybe they perform instinctively? >ducks< What amazes me is that universities think it's necessary to teach modes. It's so bleeding obvious. I remember being asked to "write a modal composition" (ie, single monodic line -The lecturer told me off for having "too many D's in it." What a twat. Cheers, Jon
