O.K. O.K. so we don't know what it sounded like, we don't have all our background, I'm swamped enough I don't feel like digging through all my issues of the American Musical Instrument Society Journals or the Galpin Society Journals to back myself up, but I think we can assume correctly that there was music in Greek society, yes? Also, we do know that the Phyrgian mode was considered rather scandalous and licentious in comparison to the Dorian mode, which inspired reflection. Now, doesn't Plato have something to say on this subject? I'm way too busy this week to look into it. Surely one of you knows this quickly......Stephen? ab Anne Beetem Harpsichords & Historic Pianos 2070 Bingham Ct. Reston, VA 20191 abeetem@wizard.net
