That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re dedicating this lesson not only to study authentic modes but synthetic modes too.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you invest the next 15 minutes or so in this lesson, you&#8217;ll be learning about authentic and synthetic modes. But before we go on into all what we have for today, let&#8217;s get started with a very quick review on traditional scales.<\/p>\n<h2>A Short Note On Traditional Scales<\/h2>\n<p>There are two key types &#8211; the major key and the minor key, and every key type has its traditional scale which is basically a long established scale that is associated with the key. These scales are an outline of all the eight components within that key.<\/p>\n<p>In the key of C major, its traditional scale which is the C natural major scale:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;consists of all the eight components in the key.<\/p>\n<p>Traditional scales are associated with key center. The major key has its traditional scale and so does the minor key. The traditional scale of the major key is the natural major scale, while the traditional scale of the minor key is the natural minor scale.<\/p>\n<p>However, for certain reasons that I would not want to go into in this lesson, there are two chromatic variants of the natural minor scale:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>#1 The melodic minor scale<\/p>\n<p>#2 The harmonic minor scale<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They are called chromatic variants because of the introduction of two notes that are foreign to the minor key.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the key of A natural minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the chromatic variants of the A natural minor scale which are the A melodic minor:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,A,B,C,D,E,Fs,Gs,A,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br

decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;which is a chromatic variant of G:<br

scales.<\/p>\n<h2>A Brief History On Modes<\/h2>\n<p>Before the use of what we call key today, modes were in use. These modes were inherited by the Romans from the Greeks -hence the term Greek modes &#8211; and because they were later used in church, they are commonly referred to as <em>ecclesiatical <\/em>or <em>church modes<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>They were predominantly used in church music in the dark ages from about 400AD to about 1400AD (a period of 1000 years which is also called the middle ages).<\/p>\n<p>The concept of modes is the re-arrangement of diatonic notes from a given note to its octave. So, modes can be formed from each of the white notes.<\/p>\n<p>From C to C:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the ionian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From D to D:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,D,E,F,G,A,B,C,D&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the dorian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From E to E:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,E,F,G,A,B,C,D,E&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the phrygrian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From F to F:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,F,G,A,B,C,D,E,F&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the lydian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From G to G:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the mixolydian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From A to A:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the aeolian mode.<\/p>\n<p>From B to B:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,B,C,D,E,F,G,A,B&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;the locrain mode.<\/p>\n<p>So these are the seven modes that were used until the introduction of concept of key (aka &#8211; &#8220;tonality.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s go ahead and explore authentic and synthetic modes.<\/p>\n<h2><em>&#8220;What Are Authentic Modes?&#8221;<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Authentic modes are diatonic modes. Authentic modes can be formed by starting from one natural note to its octave like we did in the last segment, and there are seven of them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ionian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the first mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dorian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the second mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phrygian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the third mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lydian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the fourth mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixolydian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the fifth mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aeolian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the sixth mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Locrian<\/strong> &#8211; which is the seventh mode.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These modes are authentic and are exclusively made up of natural notes without any accidentals. Before the concept of key was introduced, authentic modes were just modes that are formed from the natural notes &#8211; they are diatonic. They strictly have to do with the natural notes, and not the chromatic variants of natural notes.<\/p>\n<p>So, notes like C# (or Db):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Cs,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;D#(or Eb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Ds,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;F# (or Gb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Fs,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;G# (or Ab):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,Gs,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;A# (or Bb):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hearandplay.cc\/dynamic_image\/pianokeys.php?notes=,,As,&amp;color=FF3333&amp;size=2\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n&#8230;cannot be found in authentic modes except they are transposed.<\/p>\n<h2>Synthetic Modes &#8211; <em>Explained<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>Synthetic modes are modes of the two chromatic variants of the natural minor scale which are the melodic minor and the harmonic minor scale. They are called synthetic modes because of the introduction of chromatic variants of diatonic notes.<\/p>\n<p>The harmonic minor scale has its modes and the melodic minor scale has its modes as well, and these modes are synthetic modes. Although most of them share some similarities with authentic modes, they are different because of the introduction of the chromatic notes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the second mode of the A melodic minor scale:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;is called the &#8220;dorian flat second&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p>The dorian flat second scale is basically a dorian scale but with a chromatic variant of the second note. Consequently, lowering the second tone of the B dorian mode (an authentic mode):<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which is C#:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;by a half step (to C):<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;produces the C dorian flat second scale:<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;which is a synthetic mode.<\/p>\n<p>So the dorian mode is an authentic mode and its synthetic mode is the dorian flat second which is the second mode of the melodic minor scale.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p>While authentic modes are modes of the natural major scale, synthetic modes are modes of the two chromatic variants of the natural minor scale which are the harmonic minor scale and the melodic minor scale.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, every time you come across the term <em>synthetic modes, <\/em>think of them as modes of these two scales.<\/p>\n<p>I would see you in another lesson where we&#8217;ll be exploring the synthetic modes of the harmonic minor and the melodic minor scale.<\/p>\n<p>See you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning the relationship between authentic and synthetic modes, this lesson is for
