Does modality imply resolution on a modal chord? Certainly, in B minor (Aeolian), the resolution is going to be on B minor, not on its relative major, D, but does the same apply for every mode in the key of D? I've composed stuff in the Lydian mode, started on VI and ended on VI, and it sounded like complete crap. Of course, I'm probably not doing it correctly, being a first semester theory student.
