Hi!! I am working on a melody. I have two problem that I can't solve.
1. My verses have the notes: A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#. A Maj seems to make the most sense, but it does not resolve on A; it resolves on E, and that feels like the tonic. I was thinking E Mixolydian Mode, which has the same notes. Any thoughts?
2. The lead-in to my chorus (lead-out of verse) works nicely, but has a different set of notes: A, B, C, D, G. That's all I have to go by. I listen and listen and can't tell if it's minor or major. The G feels like home, but it's hard to tell with the 4 bars. Any thoughts? After this part it goes back into #1 above.
I tried to find a key that included #1 and #2, but no dice . . . it must be a key/mode change of some kind, but . . .
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!
Sincerely,
Tommy Zai
