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

 Mode (music) - MSN Encarta
Mode (music), term that varies in meaning from a scale to a scale-based formula for constructing melodies.
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.

 Mode (music) - Search View - MSN 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.
In addition, each mode had a dominant note (usually the fifth degree but sometimes the sixth or seventh) in which, when chanting plainsong, most of the text was sung.
The rhythmic modes fell out of use in the 14th century, when less rigid means of notating rhythms were devised.

 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.
In particular, mode was useful for determining which psalm tone to use with a given antiphon.

 Mixolydian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek theory, the Mixolydian is the Hypolydian mode inverted: a descending scale of a whole tone followed by two inverted Lydian tetrachords (each being two whole tones followed by a semitone descending).
The ancient Greek Mixolydian mode was invented by Sappho, the 7th century B.C. poet and musician, according to Anne Carson.
This mode was based on the same scale, but used the perfect fourth (the C in a G to G scale) as the reciting note, and had a melodic range from the perfect fourth below the tonic to the perfect fifth above it.

Dorian mode is also found in folk music, particularly Latin and Laotian music, while Phrygian is found in some Central European or stylized Arabic music, whether as natural Phrygian or harmonic Phrygian, which has a raised third (the so-called "gypsy" scale).

A mode is deemed major or minor by the intervallic relationship between the 1st and 3rd scale degrees.
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.

The pairs are organized so that the modes sharing a final note are numbered together, with the odd numbers used for the authentic modes and the even numbers for the plagal modes.
Though the term "mode" is still used in this case (and is useful in recognizing that these scales all have a common root, that is the melodic minor scale); it is more common for musicians to understand the term "mode" to refer to Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, or Locrian scales.

 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.

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.

Further, since "mode" was not part of the composer's mind (which was more occupied with the principles of counterpoint and consonance treatment), modern editions can remain consistent with it, no matter how their horizontal and vertical euphonies are "logically" realized, (i.e.
We may not quite know what that view amounted to in practical terms, but since the mixing of modes outlined in his statement was concerned with consonance treatment (as a "necessity") it may not be inappropriate to infer also that further "voluntary" uses of mixed modal types were for a similar purpose.
Judd does, however, claim that the composition is written in the hypolydian mode, and even goes on to state that some have described it (on Glarean's authority) as being hypoionian.

 Composer Kurt Mortensen: Glarean's Dodecachordon
Before the Dodecachordon, it was accepted that there were 4 authentic modes (dorian, phrygian, lydian and mixolydian) and their plagal versions (hypodorian, hypophrygian, hypolydian and hypomixolydian).
In the Dodecachordon Glarean explained that there were actually two more authentic modes (aeolian and ionian) and two more plagals (hypoaeolian and hypoionian), which center around the notes A and C respectively (our modern day minor and major scales).
Each melodic line is based around a different mode, which is set to text about that mode, and ends on its corresponding final pitch.

 Music Theory for Computer Applications
The ancient Greeks wrote extensively about music theory and particularly about modes.  The “modes” on which they wrote were typically of four-notes (tetrachords).  One tetrachord could be strung together with another.  If the last note of one was also the first note of the next, the tetrachords were said to be conjunct.
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.
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).

 Modes
The melody of the antiphon, its range and final, determine its assignment to a mode, and the mode of the antiphon in turn determines the tone to which the accompanying psalm is recited.
The Locrian mode would have been problematic in the Middle Ages, in that it would imply the existence of a mode with a final on "B" and a reciting-note on "F", the two notes being a diminished 5th apart, the "diabolus" in music.
Gélineau suggests that the mode reciting and ending on "b" has counterparts in the traditional chant of both Eastern and Western rites of the Christian church, and that it may therefore be descended from a responsorial psalm form in the early church.

The Major Mode ==== ============== The commonest mode in all the traditional musics of the British Isles is the MAJOR mode ("ionian" to the mediaeval theorists, "chargah" in Turkish music theory, "bilaval" in the music of North India, "sankarabharana" in Carnatic music).
Locrian mode would be the C-final mode, but the C on the chanter is the most strangely tuned of all, with no other note having any detectable harmonic relationship to it, so even if the Locrian mode had any musical reality, the pipes couldn't play it.
The six-note modes of Scottish music can all be seen as different modes of the white-note pitch set with B (ti) left out, or alternatively as its transposition down a fourth, the set with F (fa) left out, which also fits the white notes.

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.
