aeolian-cadence
Assertion
Tagg describes ♭VI–♭VII–i (or I) as the highly popular aeolian cadence, the aeolian-mode equivalent of the ionian (major-key) cadence formula IV–V–I.
Quote
That's worth knowing because $VI?$VII?i (or I) constitutes the highly popular aeolian cadence, no matter which key you're in ... It's the aeolian equivalent of the ionian cadence formula IV?V?I
