Modern western modes use the same set of notes as the major scale, in the same order, but starting from one of its seven degrees as the tonic, thus generating different distances between its musical notes. Being the interval sequence of the major scale T-T-1/2T-T-T-T-1/2T, where "T" means a whole tone and "1/2T" a semitone or halftone, it is possible to generate the following modes:Greek Mode Roman Nomenclature Distances: T = Tone and 1/2T = Semitone Example in C(C)Ionian I T–T–1/2T–T–T–T–1/2T C–D–E–F–G–A–B–CDoric II T–1/2T–T–T–T–1/2T–T D–E–F–G–A–B–C–DPhrygian III 1/2T–T–T–T–1/2T–T–T E–F–G–A–B–C–D–ELydian IV T–T–T–1/2T–T–T–1/2T F–G–A–B–C–D–E–FMixolydian V T–T–1/2T–T–T–1/2T–T G–A–B–C–D–E–F–GWind VI T–1/2T–T–T–1/2T–T–T A–B–C–D–E–F–G–ALocrio VII 1/2T–T–T–1/2T–T–T–T B–C–D–E–F–G–A–BThe analysis of each modal scale is carried out with a Roman numeral that marks its position in relation to the major scale or Ionian mode.characteristic noteEach mode or modal scale has a characteristic note that gives it its uniqueness and with it its particular sonority.12 The characteristic notes of the seven Greek modes are:Ionian mode: The perfect fourth (4)Doric mode: The major sixth (6)Phrygian mode: A minor second (b2)Lydian Mode: Augmented Fourth (#4)Mixolydian Mode: The minor seventh (b7)Aeolian Mode: The minor sixth (b6)Locrian Mode: The Diminished Fifth (b5) JOSE PARDAL Read more
