A lot of this is jazzy nonsense, but there is something really interesting: The Ionian mode is the happy one. Doe a deer, and so on. But the Aeolian mode — the exact same sequence of intervals, only starting in a different place, sounds really ''sad''. It is the minor key. | |||
''Do re me'' is a tune set | {{L4}} | ||
''Do re me'' is a tune set in the Ionian mode. <li> | |||
'''Why do re me'''? Eleventh-century Italian Guido of Arezzo invented a notational system after the first syllable of each line of the Latin “{{plainlink|https://open.spotify.com/track/1sXoq787SP50CH0ee5Zvxr?|Hymn to St. John the Baptist}}”, each of which started on a successive note of the major scale.

'''Octaves and frequency''': To raise a note by an octave is double its frequency: at concert pitch, “middle A” (“A0”) is 440Hz. A1 is 880Hz, and so on. | '''Octaves and frequency''': To raise a note by an octave is double its frequency: at concert pitch, “middle A” (“A0”) is 440Hz. A1 is 880Hz, and so on. |
