Subject: RE: What IS Folk Music?
Since I predicted a war I may as well take part.
Richard, your very informative notes (above) include, under "There were seven Greek Modes (The white notes on a piano)." the following:
"lonian (our major modeNodus lascivus) C to C"
which is correct, and:
"Mixolydian C to C"
which is not.
Of course, one can play a Mixolydian scale from C to C, but not on the white notes.
