Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in 7 Modes

[@robinchesterfield42]

Ionian: Normal Dorian: The star is being sung about by medieval bards Phrygian: We must appease the sky gods, or the Nile won't flood this year! Lydian: I'm quirky! :) Mixolydian: I'm almost normal, but like, the _cooler_ version of normal. Aeolian: Twinkle, twinkle, dying star--oh crap it's about to go supernova. Locrian: A psycho with a knife is singing you to sleep...FOREVER.

Ionian: The stars are so pretty tonight! Dorian: The stars are pretty but there's some light pollution and I can't see all of them. Phrygian: I don't care about stars. Bleh. Lydian: OH WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW THE STARS ARE MAGNIFICENT THEY'RE EVEN PRETTIER THAN DIAMONDS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Mixolydian: The stars are pretty tonight and I'm a tad stoned. Aeolian: Due to the time the light takes to reach us, the star I'm looking at may be long dead by now. Huh. Locrian: I think these stars are just a hallucination of all the drugs I just took.

There's no "up and down" in Dorian.

I don't suck at playing, I'm just playing this the Locrian way... :D

There's a KZbin channel where the guy comes out in his bathrobe and PJ's, calmly plays a happy kids' song in Locrian, and leaves. I forget the name, but yeah, people DO do that on purpose. :P

Phrygian and Locrian are the most metal sounding modes.

[@rizlovedaydream8424]

Phrygian and Locrian sound was awesome👍👌😎

[@soupisfornoobs4081]

People comment on the stark contrast between Lydian and Locrian here, one being abundantly happy and one being sinister and dark, but it's interesting to note that they are very similar in how they're constructed. Lydian is constructed by starting at the root and stacking perfect fifths, Locrian is constructed by stacking perfect fourths. Because a fourth is the inverse of a fifth, it can almost be said that the two scales are exact opposites

[@Alwpiano]

Omg I never knew how much fun you can have with different modes. Third one feels like I'm lost in the desert.

[@robinchesterfield42]

It's often used as the desert-level music in video games, is why. :) (First thing I think of with Phrygian is probably the "Sandopolis" level from Sonic and Knuckles on the Genesis. Heh.)

[@Libertariun]

Ionian 0:04 Dorian 0:32 Phrygian 1:00 Lydian 1:28 Mixolydian 1:55 Aeolian 2:24 Locrian 2:52

[@danielvandommele1204]

Loving this, it is a great way to see what the different modes do to a melody, side by side

[@robinchesterfield42]

I KNOW that's why I love this kind of video. It just gives you the basic feel and the "what IS (blank) mode like, anyway?" right there, easy to understand. Did I learn any serious music theory from this? Probably not, but I'm not a serious music scholar anyway. I'm just curious. :)

[@JerusalemStrayCat]

Mixolydian sounds just like Ionian because the song doesn't have a 7th in the melody. Was there a difference in the backing chords? I couldn't tell.

[@nicholasowen-petch7279]

Whenever there was an F or D in the melody the backing chord was B-flat major. But you're right - if the backing was only bass notes you could alternate between C and G and nobody would have any idea you were using C mixolydian.

[@lil_weasel219]

i could hear a change in the bass track

[@joidss]

Yes there was, but it was rather subtle

[@MostlyEarTraining]

yes, that's right, since the melody has no 7th, the only (pretty subtle) difference is in the harmony. this isn't a good melody for showcasing mixolydian ... but it works well for the other modes.

[@maxiapalucci2511]

The chords were different, but only when the melody descends. The dominant chord beneath the Fs and Ds of the melody were minor when they would have been major in Ionian

[@johnnymassacre]

Ionian: These stars … wow … look up there. Nice huh! Wow I've never seen them like this :) Dorian: *DRUID* - "These stars contain a warning about your future. You can ignore them for now, but I'd not recommend doing that…" Phrygian: Shit. I knew I shouldn't have ignored that star. It's changing to a strange colour. I'm not feeling so good … is it too late to deal with this? Lydian: Ah man, this weird stardust I just snorted makes me feel better. I'm still a little paranoid, but I'll get back to these fateful stars tomorrow. Mixolydian: Ah you know what, maybe I can live with this damning prophecy. The stardust maybe fixed my date with a dark fate. *DRUID* shakes his head. Aeolian: Fuck man, the stardust's wearing off. And that huge red star is so big right now, I. Uh oh… *DRUID can be seen running for the hills*. Locrian: An evil grinning face slowly starts to materialise on the demonic red star.

[@nayutaito9421]

Locrian: When you start learning a new language but their writing system is absolutely alien to you

[@neodymium2507]

Dorian sounds like kahoot music lmao

[@AlphaNumeric123]

Great video, really illustrates the sound. I like that the only change was the mode (ie not instrumentation, tone, rhythm, etc) so you could hear the comparison

[@MrKockabilly]

When you are starting to learn a guitar and doesn't know it's out of tune, you surely would have played many, if not all, these modes. Seriously, this video is a very direct and effective demonstration of the modes. Thanks.

[@benjaminjudah9415]

That was freaking awesome, Each one sounded amazing, and i can hear all differences within each version, some were subtle but I could still hear the difference.

[@jamesd2220]

Phrygian = boldness, exuberance, and passion, courage, leadership, in excess promotes pride, rashness, irritability, and violent anger. Lydian = good cheer, optimism, friendliness, laughter, love, and song. Dorian = sleepiness, lethargy, laziness, slowness, mental dullness, and forgetfulness, calmness, internal equanimity and well being. Mixolydian = solidity, firmness, and steadfastness, but also a certain indolence and tenacity.

[@Mr55330]

Ionian is decent. Dorian is great. Phrygian is amazing. Lydian is pretty much Ionian. Mixolydian is slightly better Ionian. Aeolian ain't bad. Locrian actually sounds pretty cool.

[@joiamed8544]

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

Great demonstration

[@alexgabriel5423]

In Greek music that keeps a number of these modes still the melody develops within a fourth and next in the second fourth, the mode is considered to be made of 2 tetrachords. Even a song in Ionian or C maj developed as said will sound different from a Western song. There are over 40 modes in modern Greek music, several tens in Arabic music and about 118 in Ottoman music still practiced as Turkish clsssical music. The modulations possible are very many[ cycle of fifths is just a 2 modes modulation]. Modulation in eastern music is using common tetrachords not Chords like in jazz that uses about 8 modes.

2:24 is when you realize the star you're looking at is probably already dead now because light takes thousands of years to travel from one point to the other in this vast universe, the very far away looking stars you see at night are probably just light from a star that is already dead
