1. greek mode

   In music theory, the term mode or modus is used in a number of distinct senses, depending on context. Its most common use may be described as a type of musical scale coupled with a set of characteristic melodic and harmonic behaviors. It is applied to major and minor keys as well as the seven diatonic modes (including the former as Ionian and Aeolian) which are defined by their starting note or tonic. (Olivier Messiaen's modes of limited transposition are strictly a scale type.) Related to the diatonic modes are the eight church modes or Gregorian modes, in which authentic and plagal forms of scales are distinguished by ambitus and tenor or reciting tone. Although both diatonic and gregorian modes borrow terminology from ancient Greece, the Greek tonoi do not otherwise resemble their mediaeval/modern counterparts. In the Middle Ages the term modus was used to describe both intervals and rhythm. Modal rhythm was an essential feature of the modal notation system of the Notre-Dame school at the turn of the 12th century. In the mensural notation that emerged later, modus specifies the subdivision of the longa. Outside of Western classical music, "mode" is sometimes used to embrace similar concepts such as Octoechos, maqam, pathet etc. (see #Analogues in different musical traditions below).

1. greek mode

   A Greek mode, also known as a musical mode, is a type of scale pattern with distinct characteristics of pitch and interval structure, originating from ancient Greek music theory. The original Greek modes included the Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, and Mixolydian scales, each with a specific series of whole and half steps between consecutive notes. Greek modes in modern music theory also include Ionian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes, which are commonly associated with different moods or emotional feelings in musical compositions.
