Mode #1 (Messiaen)


Recommended Posts

Hi, exploring Messiaen's Mode 1.
 In fact, he used it in very few occasions, although he describe it. It's no other than the whole tone hexatonic scale (Debussy).

Nice!

Definitely note a mode that's easy to read, at least for me. I notice there are a few places where you seem to depart from the original mode into something more diatonic (m. 20-24, 37-38). Was that a mistake or did you do that intentionally? It definitely doesn't feel out of place, and it's a cool effect so I'd love to understand it a little better.

Cool work!
