Answer:

Mode Tonic relative to major scale Example

Dorian II D–E–F–G–A–B–C–D

Phrygian III E–F–G–A–B–C–D–E

Lydian IV F–G–A–B–C–D–E–F

Step-by-step explanation:

Dorian is the second mode of the major scale. It sounds cheeky, partly sad, but in a hopeful way. It's prominent in blues, rock, jazz, and funk.

The Lydian scale can be described as a major scale with the fourth scale degree raised a semitone, making it an augmented fourth above the tonic,

The Phrygian mode can refer to three different musical modes: the ancient Greek tonos or harmonia sometimes called Phrygian, formed on a particular set of octave species or scales
