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).
Lydian is identical to Ionian, except that the 4th note in the scale is raised one half-step.

You can read this chart by saying, for example, that the F lydian mode is the same as a F major scale except that the 4th degree is sharped.

 What are the Seven Modes of Music?
Lydian Mode (W-W-W-H-W-W-H) Lydian mode is the complete opposite of the Ionian, so it feels as solid as a major scale but the intervals are surprising and unexpected.
This is a popular mode among jazz musicians who enjoy using a mixture of major and minor chord progression in inventive ways.
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.

 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.

 bmusic - Modes, Chapter 5
The modes we studied in Chapter 4 were Pure Modes, meaning they were derived wholly from the notes within the Major scale.
Altered Modes, by comparison, are based on these same Pure modes but have undergone either changes to, or omissions of, some of the notes within those modes.
The first examples we’ll look at are modes that are altered by omitting certain notes of the pure mode from which they are derivatives.

 The Lydian Mode
[ Ionian ] [ Aeolian ] [ Dorian ] [ Phrygian ] [ Lydian ] [ Mixolydian ] [ Locrian ]
This pattern of intervals: T-T-T-S-T-T-S is the characteristic of the Lydian mode, and is a Major mode.
Because the mode is characterised by its interval structure, you can start on any note and progress with the same intervals to produce a Lydian mode in that 'key'.

 Using Ancient Greek Mode for Care of the Soul
The eighth mode, the Hypomixolydian, corresponds to the Fixed Stars, whereas the seven ancient modes correspond to the planets, the Wandering Stars, among which the Heptagram cycles endlessly.
Each mode has a different Form, or pattern of tones and semitones, which determines the character of the mode and is of central importance in applying music to therapeia (cure and care) for the soul.
The effect of a mode may be enhanced by performing the music on the corresponding weekday and/or in the corresponding planetary hour, which may be determined as follows: Divide the hours of daylight into 12 "solar hours" and do likewise for the hours of darkness.

 Modes Part III - Viewing Modes As Parallel Scales

 The Ancient Musical Modes: What Were They?
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".
Dorian is E to E on the white keys, Phrygian is D to D on the white keys, Lydian is the major, Aeolian is still the natural minor, Mixolydian is B to B, etc. Credits Pythagoras with introducing the octave as two tetrachords a fifth apart.
