Diatonic/Modal Collections The major scale in successive rotations, therefore still diatonic; C major=C Ionian; beginning on D, Dorian; on E, Phrygian; on F Lydian; on G Mixolydian; on A, Aeolian; on B, Locrian. As with the major and minor scales, there are twelve forms (twelve distinct collections) of each mode.
Diatonic/Modal Collections Ionian Dorian with mm7 chord) Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian Mm7 chord) Aeolian Locrian 2-2-1-2-2-2-1 (Major Scale) 2-1-2-2-2-1-2 (symmetrical; associated 1-2-2-2-1-2-2 2-2-2-1-2-2-1 2-2-1-2-2-1-2 (begins with 1, flat 7th) (major with #4) (major with flat 7th; associated with 2-1-2-2-1-2-2 1-2-2-1-2-2-2 (Natural minor) (begins with 1; flat 5th and flat 7th)
Anhemitonic Pentatonic Collections No half steps, two non-consecutive thirds: 2-2-3-2-3. Rotations of standard C anhemitonic pentatonic
More modal IDs This is the acoustic scale - not covered in your text C-D-E-F#-G-A-Bb-C 2-2-2-2-1-2-1-2 What two scales seem to combine here?
Symmetrical Scales 1. Even and Odd Whole Tone
The Octatonic Scale OCT (0,1) = Octatonic collection with pc 0 & pc 1
The hexatonic scale S-m3-S-m3-S-m3
The hexatonic scale transpositional combination
