I have a rough understanding of what constitutes a key (tho' if you throw out all sorts of funny different ``7th'' chords, I will throw up my hands and leave) but will someone please explain what constitutes a ``mode'', and why certain modulations are/are not legal, etc? I realize that the answer to all of this is probably ``42'' but as a listener who is trying to learn ABOUT music (and even trying to learn to play, from time to time ...) I'd appreciate it if some brave soul took a shot at it. How about a series of articles? -- from Mole End Mark Terribile (scrape..dig) hou5d!mat ,.. .,, ,,, ..,***_*.
