RE: Chord progressions...
okay, i really don't like this stuff.. it's whatchacallit.. non-authoritative ('i' word) way of interpreting energy
but here's another i word thingy (aah, just woke up) that might be fun for you.. one of my preferred interpretations. you can tell it's by an american, prolly one that grew up in the west..
do: father - head of the house.
re: leaning daughter - goes to dad for extra spending money.
mi: sweet sister - keeps sunshine in the household.
fa: younger brother - definately a masculine character.
so: big brother - "rules the roost" and generally gets the car when he wants it.
la: romantic sister - knows all the boys in the neighborhood.
ti: baby - loves to crawl into mother's lap.
do: mother - sits at the opposite end of the table.
the author continues..
do: tonic - a rest tone; all tones gravitate to or revolve around it.
re: supertonic - an active tone which pulls down to do, but saometimes up to mi.
mi: mediant - a rest tone.
fa: subdominant - a very active tone; pulls strongly to mi.
so: dominant - sometimes a rest tone; at other times pulls to do.
la: submediant - an active tone; pulls to do.
ti: leading tone - an active tone, pulls to do.
really i've always preferred playing/hearing than looknig at charts.
