minor mode
Minor mode is a type of musical scale and key in Western music, characterized by the inclusion of a minor third interval. It tends to have a darker, sadder, or more serious mood compared to the major mode. The natural minor scale follows the pattern of whole and half steps as follows: whole, half, whole, whole, half, whole, whole. This is often referred to as the Aeolian mode in modal music. Other variations of minor mode include the harmonic minor and melodic minor scales.
