if those chords move to modulate, sure, but you don't change to a "modal" key.

That's right, but what m.. scales are those chords coming from?

None.

V/V Vb vb IVb ivb ic V.

The V/V isn't 'coming from the lydian mode'.

minor, lydian, and mixolydian, but who cares what the name is. there's an accidental. we know what it does and can hear the chord in a progression and know the difference, so at what point do we have to know what scale something is borrowed from?

it's not like there's a different "flavor" for each different scale, and each usage of the series of intervals is based on the context. please tell me we're not back on suggesting that

e: nvm griff got it without having to humor the mode names

Chords don't come from scales

From a listener's point of view, they couldn't care less I'm sure. But for the composer, if one scale is all they have for their chordal and melodic palette, their missing out on quite a lot of possibilities.

So...

... of course they have different flavors, cuz they generate different chords.

I just want to clear one thing up in general, I'm not talking about modulation here.

If you're going back to Renaissance and medieval periods. Can we please keep this confined to the Common Practice Period.

E: The point I'm making, is that modal interchange does exist. What 20T wrote about parallel scales and modes is 100% valid.

The 'mode' in modal interchange refers to a major or minor key, not the greek modes.

Sure, it exists if that's how you want to perceive it. It exists for me too...as a giant prohibition and waste of time.

Composers don't think in terms of 20 different scales though, they understand that a dissonance can be resolved to a consonance by step, much simpler, and not at all limiting like the scale method.

Cuz the chords are borrowed from the parallel, so regardless of what chord from which mode you choose, it will have some sense of resolving to the tonal centre. They can be mixed and matched, within the confines of good taste.
