Track 205: Reverie (G Mixolydian)

Fourth modal exploration. The flat 7th creates a dreamy, unresolved quality — the mind drifting between waking and sleeping.

6 instruments, 196 notes, 4:42. The English horn reverie motif hangs on the F5 — the flat 7th, the reverie note.

Modal series: Dorian → Phrygian → Lydian → Mixolydian (reverie)

99th unique emotion. One from 100.

Track 204: Wonder (F Lydian)

The raised 4th lifts the scale upward — gravity suspended.

Third modal exploration: Dorian (introspection) → Phrygian (foreboding) → Lydian (wonder).

Flute wonder motif floats through B natural — the note that makes F Lydian luminous.

4:16 / 60 BPM / 6 instruments

There’s Thursday morning #music Ephemeral by Dave Wilson’s quintet augmented by a string quartet. This be #ModernJazz and #ModalMusic. Although a bit afield, it is a solid, well-conceived, played, and recorded record.

Sadly, the performer credits are only on the dust cover art. But these cats can cook. This work is a bit Charles Ives alternating between the jazz quintet hard bopping and the string quartet going modern chamber but occasionally together.

Have a go.
