About this book
The Modes of Ancient Greek Music asks what musical forms were credited with influence on human emotion and character by Plato and Aristotle. The discussion recognizes rhythm as important to music's moral value while acknowledging that much less material is available for judging that subject. The text considers scales with a fixed succession of intervals that can be transposed from one pitch or key to another.
The comparison distinguishes scales that differ in the order of their intervals, as the Major mode differs from the Minor. The examination of notation argues that notation represents absolute pitch as well as the relative pitch of the notes composing a scale.
