Thread Name: folksongs in the lydian and phrygian mode
Subject: RE: folksongs in the lydian and phrygian mode
I don't think so, not from your description anyway. To be phrygian it would need to have E as the tonic, B as the dominant, and all the notes 'white' notes. A bit like a Spanish flamenco tune.

The only 'Gallowa Hills' I could find was firmly myxolydian, but this would seem to be different from the one you found.
