	Dorian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, in medieval 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.

	Locrian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Locrian mode may also be considered as a scale beginning on the seventh scale degree of any Ionian, or major scale.
		For example, the tonic chord of B Locrian is spelled B, D, F. The interval between the tonic (B) and the dominant (F) is a diminished fifth or tritone.
		The Locrian mode was of mainly theoretical importance in classical music before the 1850s because of the large amount of dissonance created within the scale and its corresponding chord.

	On Modes, by Jody Nagel
		Locrian, Locraeolian, and Mixolocrian cannot, of course, contain a true major or minor tonic triad since they contain a diminished fifth above the tonic pitch, but nevertheless, their scale degree 3, being a minor 3rd above the tonic pitch, gives these modes a distinctly "more minor" character than major.
		The modes are pitch collections from which music is made, and two important subsets of the collection are the tonic triad pitches and the tritone pitches.
		In the Mixolydian and Dorian modes, the third could be omitted from the final tonic sonority; this creates a more "hollow" sounding tonic, but, to this writer, one which has more of a sense of closure than when the tritone-participating scale degree 3 is present.

	Musical mode
		A mode indicated a primary pitch or final and the organization of pitches in relation to the final, and suggested range, melodic formulas associated with different modes, location and importance of cadences, and affect (ie, emotional affect).
		The locrian mode is so unstable that the bII chord cannot be used as it will quickly and inevitably establish itself as the I chord of a major key.
		Locrian, the theoretical mode, is identical to Aeolian, except its 2nd and 5th scale degrees are flattened.

		This will be explained shortly.) The locrian mode is rare and you are unlikely to ever encounter it in pure form; it is listed here because it completes the pattern that you will no doubt notice in this table: every scale has one note flattened compared to the last, and in a specific pattern.
		You may notice that locrian is the same as lydian except that every note is flattened except the 1 note itself.
		Because modes use the same scale but starting at different points, all the modes of a particular scale use the same set of key signatures.

		Below are the notes of the C Major scale and the corresponding mode name for each note of the scale.
		The notes of the mode are the same as the Ionian mode, or major scale, but the emphasis of the mode root is what gives the sound of the mode.
		Locrian - by flatting the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 7th notes of any major scale, you have the Locrian mode; primarily used in jazz, it works well over minor 7b5 chords or a diminished triad of the same name (such as D Locrian over a D diminished triad).

		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.

	A Theory on Open Modality
		So, what I mean by hand-in-hand is that, if the modes are placed in their relative location whereby the same seven tones are established, Lydian being in the key of F and Phrygian in E - the scale of the Lydian mode becomes the opposite of the Phrygian by vectors and tones played.
		Even as these paired modes reflect, as in the first one, great brightness and darkness, on the key board they are positioned distantly by ascending order, when moving from the bright to the dark.
		Mode 1 (Lydian) is F and Mode 6 (Phrygian) is E. The second being moderate where Mode 2 (Ionian) is C and and Mode 6 (Aeolian) is A. And lastly Mode 3 (Mixolydian) is G and Mode 4 (Dorian) is D. An inverse effects occurs when moving from the darker to the lighter.

	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 mode based on the second degree of a major scale is called the "Dorian" and it is a minor mode.
		The mode based on the fifth degree of a major scale is called the "Mixolydian" and it is a dominant or seventh mode.
		The mode based on the seventh degree of a major scale is called the "Locrian" and it is a diminished mode.

		Sometimes the church modes are described in terms of a process whereby the notes may be sounded.
		E.g., Phrygian mode can sounded by playing the white keys on a piano from E to E. But Phrygian mode is not just a C scale starting on a different note.

	What are the Seven Modes of Music?

		There are few songs written in the Locrian mode, which has lead some music experts to label it a 'theoretical' mode.
		It exists because all seven notes of the Ionian scale could form modes in a mathematical sense, but the relationship between intervals in the Locrian mode is simply not that interesting musically.

		With the Locrian mode centered on B, we reach one of the natural limits of the diatonic system.
		The arrangement of modes follows the order given above, beginning with the center D Dorian and moving out by fifths towards B Locrian, increasing the number of smaller intervals, and then returning to the center D and moving to the left towards F Lydian, increasing the number of larger intervals.

	The Ancient Musical Modes: What Were They? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The church modes of medieval and early modern music supposely derive from modes named by the ancient Greeks and described by their writers.
		When Plato said the Dorian mode sounds sincere, and Aristotle said that it avoids extremes, they perhaps meant that there are no 1 1/2-step intervals, and/or that the upper tetrachord matches the lower tetrachord and/or that the tonic would usually fall on one of the middle strings.
		The Dorian mode settles the mind and is gravest and manliest and "avoids extremes".

		The Dorian mode is created by starting on the second note of a major scale and using that note as the tonic of a new scale.
		Using the C major scale as the parent major scale, the relative locrian begins on the note B. B locrian is the relative locrian of C major.
		Notice that the locrian mode's tonic triad is 1 b3 b5.

		The Locrian mode however is just there for the sake of filling things out! There are no pieces which actually use it.
		The locrian as i see it serves a very important function in jazz, it is used harmonically speaking as a secondary dominant to move into major mediant key.
		So the Ionian mode is the diatonic scale starting and finishing on the tonic, the dorian mode the diatonic scale starting and finishing on the second note, the phyrigian starts on the third note, the lydian on the fourth, mixolydian on the fifth, aeolian on the sixth and locrian on the seventh.
