Modes, EC #2: In the diatonic collection of one sharp, what is the name of the mode that starts on A? In the diatonic collection of two sharps, what is the final of the Phrygian mode? What is the final of the Mixolydian raised 4th from the mode of the melodic minor ascending with one flat? What is the final of the Mixolydian (raised 4th) from the mode of the melodic minor ascending with two flats? C# Mixolydian (lowered 6th) occurs naturally in which melodic minor ascending collection? In the diatonic collection of four flats, what is the 6th degree (^6) of the Lydian mode? In the diatonic collection of two flats, what is the 6th degree (^6) of the Dorian mode? Compare G Mixolydian and G Lydian.
• What are all of their common pitch classes? • What tones are in G Lydian that are not in G Mixolydian? • What tones are in G Mixolydian that are not in G Lydian?
How is E Phrygian different from E Aeolian in terms of its pitch-‐class content? Compare the pattern of whole steps and half steps in a Phrygian mode to that which occurs in an Ionian mode. How are they related? Which of the diatonic modes has a symmetrical pattern of steps?
