In music, modes are different scale arrangements that can evoke a range of emotions:

Ionian mode
Also known as the major scale, this mode is bright, optimistic, and joyful. It's often used in triumphant and celebratory compositions.

Dorian mode
A minor mode with a grounded and cool vibe, but also uplifting. It's often used in jazz, rock, and pop music.

Phrygian mode
With a flattened second degree, this mode evokes mystery, tension, exoticism, passion, intensity, and drama.

Lydian mode
This mode radiates a sense of wonder, expansiveness, and ethereal beauty. It's often used to evoke a sense of expansive happiness or childlike wonder in film and video game music.

Mixolydian mode
This mode exudes a laid-back, carefree vibe, tinged with a sense of adventure and exploration.

Aeolian mode
Also known as the natural minor scale, this mode embodies a mood of introspection, melancholy, and vulnerability.

Locrian mode
The darkest of all modes, with a lowered 5th scale degree that creates an unstable and tense sound. It's also the least used mode.

The idea that modes produce emotions is ancient, and some believe that exposure to certain modes can influence behavior.
