So glad someone brought the musical use into this discussion of all things aeolian.

I will take you to task on only one minor point, your description of the mixolydian mode.

You have used a harmonic function (dominant seventh) for an intervallic function (minor seventh) when discussing the interval between A and G in the context of the modes.

Intervals can be major, minor, perfect, diminished and augmented.

Chords can be dominant 7ths, not intervals.

/pedantic soapbox mode
