94 chars

Generation

Modes are scales built from different starting points of the major scale, each with a distinct pattern of intervals that creates a unique emotional character or "flavor." For example, Dorian has a minor quality with a raised 6th degree, while Phrygian sounds darker with its lowered 2nd degree. They provide composers and improvisers with different tonal colors beyond just major and minor scales.
