How to write music with modes (modal harmony)

There’s a difference in composing in a major or minor key and composing in a mode of the major scale. Although the modes are diatonic scales like the major and minor scale, they ask for a different approach in order to result in a true modal sound.

In this E-book we’ll discover what the essence of the modal sound comprehends. This is in contrast to most music of today that relies on functional harmony within the tonal harmony system. We’ll learn about the modes themselves and in particular about the way we compose modal music using the profound characteristics of the modal scales.

This e-book will guide you through this process step by step and will give you understanding of making music that truly sounds modal and breaks away from the traditional functional harmony that is based on major and minor keys and that we find in Rock and in particular in Pop music.
