What is a "mode"?

A mode is a type of scale that provides a specific set of musical notes and their order, creating different moods or characteristics. Modes are based on the same set of notes as a major or minor scale but start from different points within that scale. For example, the Ionian mode is the same as the major scale, while the Dorian mode starts from the second note of the major scale and has a distinct sound. Modes help to define the tonal color and emotional quality of a piece of music.
