The Lydian Mode transposed to C as the Parent Key for Composition and Improvisation

PLEASE WATCH VIDEO ABOVE FOR DETAILED ANALYSIS

Moving on from my last post on the Dorian Mode, I now look at how the Lydian Mode actually sounds.

Here’s how to transpose it to C as the parent key.

If F is a perfect 4th up from C:

Lydian, mode, in, C major, scale , music notation, example
How to Transpose the Lydian Mode to C as the Parent Key for Composition and Improvisation [Form F Lydian example]

Then what is C a perfect 4th up from: This would be G.

Lydian, mode, in, C major, scale , music notation, example

So we have a G Major scale starting on the note C:

You will hear straight away that the C Lydian has a Sharpened 4th and this is what gives it its distinctive flavour.

Chord ii is now Major,

Chord II now resolves nicely into chord Vb,

Another beautiful sound is the sharpened 4th which now becomes F#m7b5
