<div>Dear Luke, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Excellent question! There are probably two ways to answer it, depending on whether you're more concerned with the historical Church modes, or with the modes as thought of by jazz musicians (that is, as rotations of the major scale without concern for
things like range, typical intervallic gestures, etc.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the latter, case, I don't know of any single source — a lot of elementary jazz theory books diagram the modes, but they don't seem to give examples from the literature. However, looking up each individual mode on Wikipedia gives some examples, which
should probably be verified of course! :-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far as the historical Church modes go, yes, you could pick up one of the Catholic chant books and hunt at random according to the mode numbers, but p. 141 of Willi Apel's "Gregorian Chant" (Indiana University Press, 1958) gives some examples of each
of the modes that he claims to be typical and to meet all the theoretical requirements. They seem to! Page numbers are for the 1961 "Liber Usualis", which any decent-sized music library will have, but since it's in the public domain you can also access the
massive 115+ megabyte download here:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="http://archive.org/details/TheLiberUsualis1961">http://archive.org/details/TheLiberUsualis1961</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is in traditional chant notation, but if a 5-line staff and modern noteheads are more appropriate for your students you can hunt around for the 1923 version of the Liber Usualis and consult the index for the page numbers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, here are the examples.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Dorian: Viderunt omnes, p. 410</div>
<div>Hypodorian: Ego sum pastor, p. 439</div>
<div>Phrygian: Gustate, p. 1015</div>
<div>Hypophyrigian: Quod dico, p. 1173</div>
<div>Lydian: Dico vobis, p. 984</div>
<div>Hypolydian: Exsultavit, p. 352</div>
<div>Mixolydian: Dicite, p. 337</div>
<div>Hypomixolydian: Modicum, p. 824</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps (if not you then someone else!)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers, </div>
<div>Bill</div>
