Adam Neely in his video "Why is major happy?" said that the dorian mode is the most neutral mode of the diatonic scale in terms of "brightness" (relative size of the intervals in a scale), being lydian the brightest and locrian the darkest. If you invert the intervals of the lydian mode the result is a locrian mode, same with ionian-phrygian and mixolydian-aeolian. But if you invert the intervals of the dorian mode the result is the same mode. I found that fascinating so I had to share it! Thank you for your video.
Another interesting thing is when you take the circle of fifths, choose your root and add three notes clockwise and three notes counterclockwise you get dorian, while for other modes its assymetric, meaning that dorian is basically the most consonant mode
@@moistness482 That was one reason that dorian mode was the basic scale of Middle Ages ( chivalry time ). When the music was more melodic than harmonic.
For me it's pinkfloydian, mystic, enigmatic, stellar and soulful. As for optimism and other stuff - I think it would be oversimplified to tie it to "anti-naive optimism" at least bc it sounds like something wrong with major modes which refers to that grayday mindset: "I'm afraid of happiness"))
very smart formula..i like the fact that there's the right amount of info to let a practiced composer work on it by himself without having to dive into too long videos. super rick you keep respect to your name (in italian beato means ''blessed'')
Best etude of all mode videos :) I prefer the slower ones over the fast because I feel they better demonstrate specifics of the mode. And I love how they always get me thinking on how I would change them if I was the one composing. That's a great sign, means I'm learning something. Very good tutorials, opened up a broad range of tools for me.
Every time I hear the Dorian mode, all I hear is the music from the video game "halo" if you haven't heard the music I highly recommend it! I believe the composer was martin O'Donnell.
Many thanks for a very good way to get to understand modes. The only thing I find difficult is to be able to see the notes you are playing because you are facing the screen (mirror effect)!
I liked this video, but it pretty much only covered dorian voicings for a chord. It would be nice if you covered more things like chord progressions and melodies
It's a pleasure to listen to your chords. I really like the Dorian scale. Have you got some advice on composition for how to sound Dorian without having the root always in the bass? Our ears are so used to the Ionian and aeolian scale. It's hard to make it sound Dorian without keeping the root note (in your case the E) in there.
Hey Rick. Really excellent videos you're making. Great job. I was going to suggest: have you thought about an episode about Eric Satie, and the more avant-garde composers? That would be really interesting if you were to break those down to their core.
hey rick, i have been following your videos and i always enjoy watching them have you already done a video on rythms? its something that always bugs me, learning to find odd time signatures etcetera. nevertheless, good job.
Just starting to delve into this awesome content. Thanks Rick. Felt like I'm just at the level required to start learning this stuff. Just wondering if you bring out the maj7 and min9 intervals because we are in Dorian? Or is this a universal tension that we would use for other modal playing as well? Thanks again and keep up the great work.
rick i would really love to see the score for the etude, i understand the concept but i don't know how to use distribute the chords in the strings. thanks!
Hi Rick, great sensitive dorian composition...:) I know in some way you are going to write a progrockrecord.. This is some proof already,hahaha... Im open to play on one of the tracks if.......;) But patience is always a great skill to have... I wish you the best over there! Cheers from The Netherlands, Jeroen Simons (Independent, Epica)
Hi Rick! Huge breakthrough on my understanding of the "how and why" modes are used. Thank you!! Btw, for your etude, are you using one specific string/winds library? Thanks again.
I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. You seem, from what I have seen, to concentrate on harmony. Will you be presenting anything that deals with voice leading and counterpoint?
I will be moving on to melody and counterpoint next but wanted to present the harmonic information first. I actually have some videos on melody but they are lost within the deluge of videos. I will organize them this weekend for easier access. I will be doing lectures on Counterpoint covering all aspects including fugal writing with analysis.
Lovely. Thank you. I am an entirely self taught composer (in my everyday life I am a middle aged micropalaeontologist -- and I bet you have not taught many of those before). I am finding your videos very useful as a resource that goes beyond the limits of the textbooks I have found. Thank you.
Mr Beato i’ve discovered sonething incredibile that explain why Conti din’nt win the Oscar for Rocky.listen up the original italian song “E così per non morire” 1973 sung by Ornella Vanoni. The final orchestra part is exactly the same of the final part of “ Going the distante”. What a disappointment!!!!! Conti shame on you!!! Sorry for my and english

Very
Negative harmony. Totally fascinating. Rick has a great video on it. Listen to Bartók :-)

It's cool how the dorian mode can convey that emotion of realistic optimism. Hopeful, but not naïve or overly-idealistic.
Inkinthegrass is
@Inkthegrass That's the best way to describe it hotdamn

so ou don't believe my despair in life is "overly-idealistic" ?
I was lost on Part 1, now I feel better ;)
Your Dorian piece is beautiful, plenty of Tensions and Emotions!
Thanks Rick.
In the film at 13:35 you should have briefly modulated to the key of F U for that van running the red light in front of you.
Your original composition has a Thomas Newman feel to it. I'm really enjoying these modal concept videos.
You definitely got my words.
(I keep rewind the strings part at 13:57 when the violin comes in ^^)
is that the movie Shawshand Redemption?
very smart formula..i like the fact that there's the right amount of info to let a practiced composer work on it by himself without having to dive into too long videos.
super rick you keep respect to your name
(in italian beato means ''blessed'')
Wow, your composition is beautiful Rick!
Love the Dorian,Howard Shore and Alan Sivestri come to my mind right away.

I believe the composer was martin O'Donnell.
I think of some resident evil pieces
I KNEW IIIIIIIIT!!! Thank you
@@nitiio3352 yah same.. i recalled the Child Sheppard speaks with at tthe end of Mass Effect 3.. for me
YES! I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought this.
Many thanks for a very good way to get to understand modes. The only thing I find difficult is to be able to see the notes you are playing because you are facing the screen (mirror effect)!
Wow! thanks Rick. I struggled to grasp this concept (age thing!) until you played your video at the end. Then it all made perfect sense.
Thank you verry much for "everything music" , Mr.Rick Beato !!!
Absolutely beautiful piece. Reminds me of The Fugitive score (James Newton Howard)
Awesome teacher!all your tutorials..i have on my external backup too !!!!!!!!!!Thank you and God bless you, and your family too!!!
I liked this video, but it pretty much only covered dorian voicings for a chord. It would be nice if you covered more things like chord progressions and melodies

Our ears are so used to the Ionian and aeolian scale. It's hard to make it sound Dorian without keeping the root note (in your case the E) in there.
you can try rootless voicings(they sound great for piano so I guess you can try them) or put the root in a higher register(never tried that)
Love the lesson and the composition, great job as always!
2:02 This gave me some strong Halo vibes.
Hey Rick. Really excellent videos you're making. Great job. I was going to suggest: have you thought about an episode about Eric Satie, and the more avant-garde composers? That would be really interesting if you were to break those down to their core.
Great stuff Rick! As always your etude steals the show! Keep it man!
hey rick, i have been following your videos and i always enjoy watching them
have you already done a video on rythms? its something that always bugs me, learning to find odd time signatures etcetera.
nevertheless, good job.
I'm getting to it :)
The film at the end gave me a massive sense of "onsim" for some reason. Must be the Dorian mode!
Once again beautiful. If you don't mind sharing what plugins your using? Thanks in advance.

MASTER CLASS.. awesome transportation music film.......
Wow. For your Content I would be willing turning off the Add Blocker! ;)
never!
Just donate some money or buy some of his stuff.
SquareWaveHeaven Great Idea!
Does the man have a Patreon?
Hello Maestro! For a keyboardist, pianist, what are great modes for rock, prog, or even contemporary Christian? Thanks in advance.
I'm watching all your videos on 1.5 speed these holidays.
These vids are amazing- learning so much Rick!

I seem to have a penchant for these darker scales :p Thanks for sharing!
Kate Hu Dorian isn't very dark... It's brighter than Aeolian...
Wow you were so young back then when you were old : )
You should start a Jazz fusion Beatles cover band and call it the Beatos.
Reminds me slightly of fanfare for the common man. Slightly. Or maybe I’m thinking of pictures at an exhibition.
Music and video tempo is not sync with Film but dorien Music is so nice...

Very interesting thank you so much!
Very good illustrations, but couldn’t it better to put camera on the keyboard and hands so everyone can easily see your playing? Cheers
SWEET !! MUCH thanks !! 🎸🎶🎶🎶
Rick. That van blew a red light lol.
Love you dude, great stuff
Great as usual!
During the whole etude the root note is always E or does it ever change?
this is awesome - ty
Solid as usual
Thank You Sir.!
Do you live in the states? If so, do you do private lessons?
Thank u Rick
Oh I see how, the I chord built for E Dorian is E G(minor 3rd) B(perfect 5th) D(Flat7). You don't alter the chord to have E Gb Db.
Link for your etude please?
muito bom obrigado
5:55 it looks lije a challenge
Nice :)
um video about tonnetz
Would I sound silly if I said that dorian reminds a lot of Dire Straits music?
Please start to use midiculous! Its free!
your bass notes are C you keep saying E in the bass. ??
Thank You, Robert Downey Jr.!
:D
When you said tonic they thought you said what? For $5000 Dallors
Why can't it just be D dorian. It's hard enough as it is.
sounds like halo
Your confusing
