... Notes, Octaves, Scales and Modes The interval we call an octave is a simple mathematical relationship − the higher note is vibrating twice as fast as the lower. So in modern concert pitch, the A above middle C is 440Hz, the A an octave above that is 880Hz, the A below middle C is 220Hz. In modern we ...

... In music, a scale is an ordered series of musical intervals, which, along with the key or tonic, define the pitches. However, mode is usually used in the sense of scale applied only to the specific diatonic scales found below. The use of more than one mode is polymodal, such as with polymodal chroma ...

Diatonic Modal Scales - Andrew Thompson Music
... There are many ways of describing the modal keys, but one of the simplest is to view them as degrees of a particular Major Scale. For example, the simplest Major scale is C Major. The first note (Tonic) is C, followed by D, E, F, G, A, B and C to give a 1octave scale. If we offset the tonic by one d ...

This use, still the most common in recent years, reflects a tradition dating to the Middle Ages, itself inspired by the theory of ancient Greek music.
