  Aeolian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aeolian mode formed part of the music theory of ancient Greece, based around the relative natural scale in A (that is, the same as playing all the 'white notes' of a piano from A to A).
The tenth mode, the plagal version of the aeolian mode, Glarean called hypaeolian ("under aeolian"), based on the same relative scale, but with the minor third as its tenor, and having a melodic range from a perfect fourth below the tonic to a perfect fifth above it.
The aeolian mode consists of the same components as the major mode with the minor's sixth scale degree as its tonic.

However, the reciting tones of modes 3, 4, and 8 rose one step during the tenth and eleventh centuries with 3 and 8 moving from b to c' (half step) and that of 4 moving from g to a (whole step).
A mode is said to be minor if the 3rd scale degree is flattened; that is, if the third scale degree is three semitones above the root, instead of the four semitones in a major mode.
Most of these chords and modes are commonly used in jazz; the min/maj chord, 7♯11 and alt were in common use in the Bebop era (indeed, the Lydian dominant scale and 7♯11 chord practically defined the bebop sound), while Coltrane-era and later jazz made extensive use of sus♭9 chords.

 Mode (music) - ninemsn Encarta
The eight modes of medieval and Renaissance music (often now called church or ecclesiastical modes, although they were also used in secular music at the time) were scale patterns that formed the foundations of Gregorian chant.
All modes therefore used the same notes; only the sequence of tones and semitones changed, so that a plainsong melody starting on a given degree of the scale would unfold a different sequence of intervals according to the mode in which it was sung.
In the tonal system that emerged during the late 16th century, it was the Ionian and Aeolian modes (the additional ones advocated by Glareanus) that came to the fore, and survived as the major and minor scales respectively.

 Hypodorian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hypodorian mode, literally meaning 'below dorian', is a musical mode or diatonic scale of ancient Greece that was based upon the dorian tetrachord: a series of rising intervals of a semitone followed by two whole tones.
This mode is the plagal counterpart of the authentic first mode, which was dubbed dorian.
The ecclesiastical hypodorian mode is based on the relative scale of 'white notes' from D to D, with the musical dominant, the reciting note, or tenor at the minor third on the scale (or F, in the D to D scale).

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Hyperphrygian mode
Thus, in mediaeval and modern music, the Phrygian mode is a minor musical mode or diatonic scale and may be constructed from the major scale starting on the third scale degree.
Unlike the two "modes" of tonality (major and minor), which allow a fair range of chromatic inflection, the traditional modes are generally assumed to require scalar purity, although there are a limited number of well defined exceptions.
Scholars have long noted that the minor second degree of Phrygian mode (F in the examples) prevents the formation of a major harmony on its fifth degree without alteration (an alteration that would significantly affect the character of the mode), and consequently prevents the formation of a true dominant for the mode.

In music, the Dorian mode is a diatonic scale or musical mode using all notes in the major scale beginning on the note just a whole tone below it, ie a major scale starting from its second degree.
The melodic range of the ecclesiatical hypodorian mode ranges from the perfect fourth below the tonic to the perfect fifth above.

 ORB -- Introduction to Church Modes
The eight modes (sometimes called church modes or ecclesiastical modes to distinguish them from the rhythmic modes) were defined through a combination of range and final (the final is the note on which a melody ends).
For instance, the placement of the half-step within the mode (and its distance from the final) was a defining characteristic for the sound of that mode, especially since the actual pitch of the melody was determined by the singer rather than being standardized.
Mode first began as a method for classifying existing melodies, perhaps as an aid to memorization.

 Science Fair Projects - Dorian mode
Thus, in mediaeval and modern music, the Dorian mode is a diatonic scale or musical mode which corresponds to the white keys of the piano, from "D" to "D".
The Dorian mode is symmetric, meaning that the pattern of tones and semitones (T-s-T-T-T-s-T) is the same ascending or descending.
The Dorian mode is equivalent to the natural minor scale (or the Aeolian mode) but with the sixth degree raised a semi-tone.

 Medieval Church Modes
In chants sung in a given mode, the cofinalis was often used as a secondary tonal center.
Among the authentic modes, the Phrygian is the transgressor to this convention.
A liturgical mode shouls rather be understood as specified by a sequence of intervals (not well tempered), a range, and by its finalis and cofinalis.

 Modes in Traditional and Early Music
The Ionian, in fact, was termed the "lascivious mode." One of the composers who was particularly fond of using the flatted B in this manner was Abbess Hildegard of Bingen.
In plagal modes (which are the modes a fourth below the authentic modes), the tenor is a third below the tenor of the corresponding authentic mode.
The first basic scale given is with the B omitted, the second with the F. The Hexatonic mode which would be ambiguous between the Locrian and Lydian is impossible due to the omission of the keynote.

 Aeolian Island
This simple scale was called the hypodorian mode in Greek theory, and the aeolian and locrian modes must have been different, perhaps chromatic, variations of this.
The term ''aeolian mode'' fell into disuse in mediaeval Europe, as church music was based around eight musical modes: the relative natural scales in D, E, F and G, each with their authentic and plagal counterparts.
The tenth mode was the plagal version of the aeolian mode, called ''hypaeolian'' (under aeolian), based on the same relative scale, but with the minor third as its ''tenor'', and having a melodic range from a perfect fourth below the tonic, to a perfect fifth above it.

 Mode Glossary - Dictionary definition [define: Mode] of Mode
Use of the word `mode' rather than `state' implies that the state is extended over time, and probably also that some activity characteristic of that state is being carried out.
In a usage much closer to techspeak, a mode is a special state that certain user interfaces must pass into in order to perform certain functions.

 Ricercares by Vincenzo Galilei
Glareanus mentions hypothetical modes (13 and 14) on B, but dismisses them as impractical since their scales cannot, like those of the other modes, be divided into a perfect fifth plus a perfect fourth, or the reverse.
Moreover, the distinction between an authentic mode and its plagal is, in polyphony, an academic one.
To bring the pitch of the modes into a different relationship with the "tessitura" (or middle compass) of the voice, modes can be raised or lowered in pitch, most usefully by means of a key signature of one flat.

 Music Theory for Computer Applications
Modes used in ancient, medieval, early modern, and non-Western music typically have seven tones.  The vocabulary of medieval and early modern modes is quite large.
Modes were differentiated not only by their whole- and half-step patterns but also by certain features (last tone or final, tone of greatest activity or dominant) of the pieces in which they were used.   
The principal modes can be thought of (for the purpose of deducing their whole- and half-step patterns) as those without altered tones beginning on one of the notes of the C-major scale (or one of the white notes of the keyboard).

It is called The Dorian Service because the music is set in the Dorian mode which is the white note scale from D to D. Thus the scale has its half steps between the third and fourth degrees of the scale and the sixth and seventh degrees of the scale.
He described it as "devout to see." Its sister mode, the Hypodorian, which is the same scale but using more low notes, was considered by Tallis as majestic.
The Dorian mode is the predominant scale used in church music during the sixteenth century.

 Locrian mode - meaning of word
Some examples: *The B Locrian mode is the C major scale starting on B. *The E Locrian mode is the F major scale starting on E. (E, F, G, A, Bb, C, D, E) The Locrian mode can also be used to create a diminished chord, creating tension in music while still staying in key.
The Locrian mode was rarely used in classical music before the 1850's because of the large amount of dissonance created within the scale and its corresponding chord.
The original Greek Locrian mode seems to have been tuned to a natural A mode, but how it differed from the Aeolian mode and Hypodorian mode modes is unclear.

The first eight modes were designated in the medieval era, as a way to classify pre-existing Gregorian chants.
In the authentic modes, the final is the lowest note of the mode's scale, whereas in the plagal modes, the final is the fourth note.
Convenviently, the scales for these modes are easily represented (aside from issues of tuning) by the white keys on the modern piano, simply by starting from different notes.
