- Does anyone know of any tunes that use the Locrian mode?
- (Locrian is B C D E F G A B or C Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C)
- Anytime I've seen this mode mentioned in books the author always said
- something
- like "this mode has never been much more than a theoretical possibility".

- >Mixolydian mode (C D E F G A Bb C, or G A B C D E F G): "She Moved Through

-
- Also, lots of Scottish bagpipe music. The drone key on Highland bagpipes
- is in
- Mixolydian mode.
