Do you determine the key by identifying the I chord or do you identify the I chord by determining the key? @AndyBonner correctly mentions "a system that didn't even think about chords" but even today a melody with no chords at all is most likely going to be in some key. You don't need chords to say whether I'm playing Frère Jacques in C major or D major. How do you determine whether a C major chord is the I of the key of C major or the III of the key of A minor (or the V of F or the IV of G, etc., etc.). | |

| Oct 31, 2023 at 15:07 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | I don't want to start a red herring, but since nobody's done so yet, I just want to problematize the notion that "modes create chords" at all. Especially when we're talking about the church modes, we're talking about artifacts of a system that didn't even think about chords. But even in modern practice, a mode is more than a factory for making exotic chords; it's something you're "in." It doesn't "make" the chords, so much as provide a context about how they're used. | |
