Thank you for your clear explanations. I have two questions:) 1) Is modal interchange the same as modal mixture? 2) Is it still called modal mixture when you borrow from the parallel modes or other scales starting on the same root? Greetings from Belgium
Greetings! And good questions - yes, modal interchange is the same thing as modal mixture - theorists like to use different terms in different parts of the world. 2 - usually we are only borrowing from the parallel minor tonality and generally not modally in common-practice music, but I don't see why we couldn't borrow from the modes; it just doesn't occur a lot in classical music. Maybe jazz?
Traditional borrowing almost never occurs in minor mode - with the exception of the Picardy 3rd. If you find a major IV, check where it resolves, as it may be a V/VII secondary chord.

Very clear lesson. Thank you so much.
you are fun and awesome. thank you
Thank YOU!
How about a borrowed major IV chord in a minor key context?
Traditional borrowing almost never occurs in minor mode - with the exception of the Picardy 3rd. If you find a major IV, check where it resolves, as it may be a V/VII secondary chord.
“Modal mixture”, a.k.a. “Modal interchange”, I think.
