As your quote implies, that "definition" ignores the notions of "final," "co-final" and "mediant" (which are structurally analogous to the tonal tonic, dominant, and mediant, but not necessarily on the 1st, 5th, and 3rd notes of the mode) - i.e. what it sounds like. Of course 21st century jazz and folk musicians are free to make up whatever terminology they like, and ignore history! | |
