  2. Lydian chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydian_chord

    Lydian chords may function as subdominants or substitutes for the tonic in major keys. [3] The compound interval of the augmented eleventh (enharmonically equivalent to ♯ 4, the characteristic interval of the Lydian mode) is used since the simple fourth usually only appears in suspended chords (which replace the third with a natural fourth, for example C sus4).

    These chords are all borrowed from the key of E minor. Similarly, in minor keys, chords from the parallel major may also be "borrowed". For example, in E minor, the diatonic chord built on the fourth scale degree is IVm, or A minor. However, in practice, many songs in E minor will use IV (A major), which is borrowed from the key of E major.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_chord

    A Lydian chord (C Δ ♯ 11) contains the notes: root (often omitted), 3, 5, M7, (9), ♯ 11 (13). The Lydian chord has a strange quirk, where if the root is put both above and below the augmented eleventh it creates an unpleasant dissonance of a tritone. This is not usually a problem in a jazz context, as chord-playing musicians often omit the ...

    The duration of this symbol follows the same rules as a regular chord symbol. This is used by composers and songwriters to indicate that the chord-playing musicians (guitar, keyboard, etc.) and the bass player should stop accompanying for the length covered by the "No Chord" symbol.

  9. Cadence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence

    A Lydian cadence is similar to the Phrygian half cadence, involving iv 6 –V in the minor. The difference is that in the Lydian cadence, the whole iv 6 is raised by a half step. In other words, the Phrygian half cadence begins with the first chord built on scale degree, while the Lydian half cadence is built on the scale degree ♯. [citation ...
