Need help with context for musical terms on MusicBrainz

MusicBrainz Classical

Hello everyone,

I’m working on translating content from the MusicBrainz website and I’ve come across some musical mode terms:

  1. A Locrian
  2. A Dorian
  3. A Lydian
  4. A Mixolydian
  5. A Phrygian

I understand what these terms mean and how to translate them, but I’m having trouble finding examples of their use. Could anyone share examples of songs, pieces, or contexts where these modes are applied in the MusicBrainz context?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

this is a wiki page: Dorian mode - Wikipedia

Those are used as options for “Key” in works. For example, Motet “Os justi, WAB 30” - MusicBrainz is in F Lydian.
