It is a wonderful aspect of Tonebase that if we cannot attend your Live Streams, we can watch them later. I just watched this one. Fascinating!
I love your analogies: planets, spices, flavors... :D.
I do hear the Brahms piece within "The Simpsons" theme. Most decidedly!
The Grieg Mixolydian is so gorgeous! Wow! I didn't want it to end!
Locrian mode is "incredibly unusual sounding." To be sure!
Interesting question, Gail, about Saint Saens Danse Macabre - G minor. Locrian?
Genevieve, you also had an interesting question. And Gail, thank you for doing the work to find the answer and sharing it with all of us! Sweet!
Thank you, Dominic! Thank you, everyone!

Aeolian is different to Minor And Major different to Ionian. Modes can have no V7 to I resolutions in Modal Harmony as in Tonal harmony. Correct?
