This document discusses the author's realization that every chord in Western music theory has its origin in a parent scale. The parent scale is the scale from which the chord arises and finds its ultimate vertical completeness, existing in a state of complete unity with the chord known as a chordmode.

environment of the chord beyond the immediate tones
of its basic structure, leading to the irrevocable conclusion that every traditionally definable chord of Western music theory has its origin in a PARENT SCALE . In this vertical sense, the term refers to that scale which is ordained—by the nature of tonal gravity—to be a chord's source of arising, and ultimate vertical completeness; the chord and its parent scale existing in a state of complete and indestructible chord/scale unity—a CHORDMODE .
