    Modal Interchange

    Uploaded by

    HenzoFrenzo
    This document discusses modal interchange theory, which involves borrowing chords from parallel diatonic modes. The most common interchange chords come from the parallel minor mode. For example, in C major, chords like F-7 and Abma7 can be used without changing the key. The document also provides a table listing all possible interchange chords for each diatonic mode. Another type of interchange discussed is subdominant minor chords, which contain the minor third of the subdominant chord, such as bII, II-7b5, IV-6, IV-7, bVI, and bVII7. Examples of modal interchange progressions are also provided.

    MODAL INTERCHANGE HARMONY

    (chord progression & substitution theory)

    Chords can be borrowed from parallel modes. The most common modal interchange chords come from
    the parallel natural minor tonality (Aeolian mode). For instance, a progression in the key of C Major
    could utilize F-7 (IV-7 from C Aeolian) or Ab Ma7 (bVI Ma7 from C Aeolian) without changing key:
    Cma7 A-7 D-7 G7

    F-7 Cma7 Abma7 G7 C6

    The table below lists all possible modal interchange harmonies available from the diatonic modes:
    IONIAN:

    bV Ma7

    bVI7

    Subdominant Minor (SDM)


    Another class of modal interchange chords falls under the heading of Subdominant Minor. These are
    chords that contain the b6 scale degree, the minor 3rd of the subdominant minor chord (e.g. Ab is the
    minor third of F-7). The Subdominant minor chords include:
    bII Ma7

    II-7b5

    IV-6

    IV-7

    bVI Ma7

    bVII7

    Note: Subdominant major chords contain scale degree 6, the major 3rd of the sub-dominant major
    chord (e.g. A is the major third of Fma7 in the key of C).
    More modal interchange examples:
    D-7 G7 E-7b5 A7 D-7 G7 C6
    Gma7 Bbma7 Ebma7 Abma7 Gma7 (Example "Here's That Rainy Day")
    D7 G7 F#-7b5 F-7 E-7 A7 D-7 Dbma7 Cma7
    D-7 G7 F-7 Bb7 Cma7 (Example "Ladybird")
    All the key-related Ma 7th chords: (can be seen following the cycle of 5ths starting on the I chord)
