Modal Moods

8 pieces for solo piano.   Grades 4th to 7th

The “modal concept began in ancient Greece and underwent stages in which the modes grew from four modes to twelve modes over the centuries. Early Christian, Jewish and Eastern cultures contributed to what became known as the church modes or Gregorian modes of the Middle Ages, from about 500 - 1500CE, in Europe. The modes retain their original Greek names: "Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian." (shockwave sound.com). Also included is the Phrygian Dominant Mode, also known as the Jewish Frygian.
