Hi Steve,
These are the tunes this Tuesday: 'little sunflower' and 'sunshower'.
Attached the dots for them.
For little sunflower I used:

For sunshower I used these 2 clips:

hutchinson)

please note that (C), (Bb) and (Eb) mean concert, Bb and Eb pitch.
The easiest option is to look at what scale you can use in what sections and
when you need to change:
This is quite clear in little sunflower. You will need:
D dorian for the 'A' section ; Eb and D major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (C)
E dorian for the 'A' section; F and E major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (Bb)
B dorian for the 'A' section; C and B major and/or Lydian for the 'B'
section (Eb)
If you have been working on modes for a while, try and work out the
alterarions to your major scale, ie:
Dorian implies b3 and b7
Lydian implies #4
Sunshower:
'A' section:
All the notes of the C scale, but the centre shifts from A to F (C)
All the notes of the D scale, but the centre shifts from B to G (Bb)
All the notes of the A scale, but the centre shifts from F# to D (Eb)
!More advanced players note the last bar of 'A' section!
'B' section:
You could approach this on several levels, I'll start with the easiest
1. All the notes of the C scale, but the centre shifts from D, E, F, B
and E (C)
All the notes of the D scale, but the centre shifts from E, F#, G,
C# and F# (Bb)
All the notes of the A scale, but the centre shifts from B, C#, D,
G# and C# (Eb)
2. D dorian, E diminished arpeggio (e, g, bb, c#), F Lydian, B locrian
(C scale from b to b) (C)
E dorian, F# diminished arpeggio (f#, a, c, eb), G Lydian, C#
locrian (D scale from c# to c#) (Bb)
B dorian, C# diminished arpeggio (c#, e, g, bb), D Lydian, G#
locrian (A scale from g# to g#) (Eb)
3. As above. E7#9: (all the notes of the A harmonic minor from e to e)
or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); E7alt: altered scale or dimished
scale (start with semi-tone) (C)
F#7#9: (all the notes of the B harmonic minor from f# to f#)
or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); F#7alt: altered scale or dimished
scale (start with semi-tone) (Bb)
C#7#9: (all the notes of the F# harmonic minor from c# to
c#) or dimished scale (start with semi-tone); C#7alt: altered scale or
dimished scale (start with semi-tone) (Eb)
Full scales:
Locrian: root, b2, b3, 4, b5, b6, b7 (or: root and 4 are only ones not
altered)
Diminished: root, semi-tone, tone, semi-tone, tone, semi-tone, tone,
semi-tone, 8
Altered scale: root, b9, #9, 3 b5, #5, b7,8
My head is spinning now, and yours probably too. Please try not to run
before you walk and chose a sensible level. I have gone up several notches
here, but there is no need to panic. If this is all way above your head (and
we all have been there!), have a go at option 1 for sunshower. You'll find
the whole piece now uses only 1 scale!
Looking forward to see you all,
Angèle
