What are Messiaen's Modes of Limited Transposition? - Music Theory

Learn about the seven modes of limited transposition used by Olivier Messiaen in his music. The difference between these and more common modes is explained, along with an explanation of how each mode has a particular number of possible transpositions. The patterns of intervals within each mode is unpacked along with an explanation of how Messiaen creates groups of notes within each mode. This music theory lesson then takes you through each mode and we explore which notes and intervals are used in each. A fascinating exploration for anyone wanting to understand more fully the melodic and harmonic basis of Messiaen’s music and a very helpful resource for composers wanting to explore this direction in your own music.
