Lydian Melodies/ Chords?
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 3:01 am
I am interested in examples of Lydian melodies and chords.
"The Simpsons" theme song is one example of a Lydian melody. c2 e2 f#2 a2 g2 e2 c2 a1 f#1 g1.
The chords in the A section of "A Man and a Woman" sound very Lydian to me: ( in C) Cmaj7 - B7 - Bbmaj7 - Em7 - A7 - Dmaj7. They sound very nice as: Cmaj7#11 - B7 - Bbmaj7#11 - Em7 - A7 - Dmaj7#11.
So, more easy examples like these?
