Heya,
I've written a small piece of music that seems to work (to my ears anyway), but I can't quite figure out how or whether it "works theoretically" and how I would even conceptualize it. It's over three chords and uses some outside playing. For the sake of keeping it simple:
Chord 1: F major with occasional Bs, giving it a Lydian flavor
Chord 2: A (or C or D# or F#) diminished 7th chord
Chord 3: B major with occasional Gs, giving it a harmonic major flavor
So it's a diminished 7th chord bridging two major chords a tritone apart.
I guess what I want to ask is : Do these chords work together theoretically?
With some of the outside notes not mentioned above, I feel like leading tones are driving it, but harmonically the most sense I can make of it is that it's common tone modulation at play.
From what I understand about diminished 7th chords, B major is not a typical resolution from any of the inversions and the diminished 7th chord is not in any of the harmonic minor keys derived from either F major or F Lydian.
