The standard chromatic pairs of chords for the 7 modes of a diatonic scale are (see post 215) the next
The chromatic pairs of chords in the diatonic scale may get the the names ofthe modes of the scale too
1M-2m=IONIAN
2m-3m=DORIAN
3m-4M=FRYGIAN
4M-5M=LYDIAN
5M-6m=MYXOLYDIAN
6m-7d=AEOLIAN
7d-1M=LOCRIAN
Nevertheless in the Latin style jazz, instead of the 2m , 3m 6m we often use 2M7 , 3M7 and 6M7 , because we substitute the natural minor eolian mode with of the harmonic minor with 5# instead and also harmonic double minor with 3b, etc Furthermore it may mean that instead of being in a single diatonic scale e.g. C we also utilize the previous or next in he Wheel by 4th (here F and G)
So the Latin jazz style harmonization of the 7 diatonic modes ,where we add a 3rd chord to resolve to the first and have harmonic relation with the first, would become as follows
1M-2m=IONIAN-> 1M->2m-> 5M7 (Blues triplet)
2m-3m=DORIAN-> 2m-> 3M7->6m (Harmonic minor triad) or 2m-> 3M7->6M7 (Dbl Hminor)
3m-4M=FRYGIAN->3m->4M->7M7 (interesting triplet 1)
4M-5M=LYDIAN-> 4M, 5M, 1M7 (major Harmonic triplet)
5M-6m=MYXOLYDIAN-> 5M-> 6m -2M7 (Blues triplet)
6m-7d=AEOLIAN-> 6m-> 7m-> 3M7 (interesting triplet 2 ) or 6m-> 7M7->3M7 (DHminor)
7d-1M=LOCRIAN-> 7M7->1M -> 4#M7 (interesting triplet 3).
From these triplets we may extract harmonic pairs only
IONIAN-> 1M->2m-> 5M7 (Blues triplet) -> HPAIR=5M7->1m
DORIAN-> 2m-> 3M7->6m (Harmonic minor triad) - > HPAIR=6m->2m
or 2m-> 3M7->6M7 (Dbl Hminor) > HPAIR=6M7->2m
FRYGIAN->3m->4M->7M7 (interesting triplet 1)- > HPAIR=7M7->3m
LYDIAN-> 4M, 5M, 1M7 (major Harmonic triplet) -> HPAIR=1M7->4M
MYXOLYDIAN-> 5M-> 6m -2M7 (Blues triplet) -> HPAIR=2M7->5M
AEOLIAN-> 6m-> 7m-> 3M7 (interesting triplet 2 )- > HPAIR=3M7->6m
or 6m-> 7M7->3M7 (DHminor) - > HPAIR=3M7->6m
7d-1M=LOCRIAN-> 7M7->1M -> 4#M7 (interesting triplet 3).- > HPAIR=4#M7->7M7
In the next we may compose songs with first part (couple) a sad triplet or pair signifying a mode and resolving to the refrain to a happy triplet or pair (usually the Ionian or Mixolydian)
Only the Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Lydian, are triplets of chords that are exact harmonic triplets. The Frygian and Locrian are not exact harmonic triplets.
Here are examples of chord progressions of at least 9 such songs
E. g. Dorian-> Ionian (Blues)
2m, 3M7
6m, 2m
Resolving to
1M 2m
5M7 1M

Also as an alternative from the chromatic pairs of the 7 modes we may create triplets wher he 3rd chord has harmonic relation with the 2nd part of the triplet and melodic relation with the 1st part
1M-2m=IONIAN=> 1M, 6M7, 2m
2m-3m=DORIAN=> 2m, 7M7, 3m
3m-4M=FRYGIAN=> 3m , 1M7, 4M
4M-5M=LYDIAN=> 4M, 2m7, 5M
5M-6m=MYXOLYDIAN=> 5M, 3M7, 6m
6m-7d=AEOLIAN=> 6m , 5bM7, 7d
7d-1M=LOCRIAN=> 7d, 5M7, 1M.
A nice chord cycle based on that would be
1M, 6M7, 2m
2m, 7M7, 3m
3m , 1M7, 4M
4M, 2Μ7, 5m
5m 1M7 4M
4M 4M7 7bM
7bM 5M7 1M
