The order of tones and semitones in a Mixolydian scale is TTSTTST (T = tone, S = semitone), while the major scale is TTSTTTS. The Key Signature varies accordingly (it will be the same as that of the major key a fifth below).

Some examples:
  • The G Mixolydian mode (Based on C Major - on a Piano it is all the white keys from one G to the next)

  • The C Mixolydian mode (Based on F Major )

  • The D Mixolydian mode (Based on G Major )

  • The E Mixolydian mode (Based on A Major )



GREEK MIXOLYDIAN


The idea of a Mixolydian mode comes from the music theory of Ancient Greece . However, what the ancient Greeks thought of as Mixolydian was very different from the modern interpretation of the mode.
