  Phrygian mode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Applied to a whole octave, the Phrygian mode was built upon two Phrygian tetrachords separated by a whole tone.
Confusingly, the ancient-Greek Phrygian mode is the same as the mediaeval and modern Dorian mode.
Thus, in mediaeval and modern music, the Phrygian mode is a minor musical mode or diatonic scale and may be constructed from the major scale starting on the third scale degree.

 Aspects of Early Major-Minor Tonality: Chapter 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Unlike the two "modes" of tonality (major and minor), which allow a fair range of chromatic inflection, the traditional modes are generally assumed to require scalar purity, although there are a limited number of well defined exceptions.
Besides the presentation of this system in theoretical treatises, this view of the modes was also in evidence as the organizing factor in collections whose apparent purpose was to demonstrate composition in each of the church keys or tones.
Scholars have long noted that the minor second degree of Phrygian mode (F in the examples) prevents the formation of a major harmony on its fifth degree without alteration (an alteration that would significantly affect the character of the mode), and consequently prevents the formation of a true dominant for the mode.

 Ricercares by Vincenzo Galilei
Glareanus mentions hypothetical modes (13 and 14) on B, but dismisses them as impractical since their scales cannot, like those of the other modes, be divided into a perfect fifth plus a perfect fourth, or the reverse.
Moreover, the distinction between an authentic mode and its plagal is, in polyphony, an academic one.
To bring the pitch of the modes into a different relationship with the "tessitura" (or middle compass) of the voice, modes can be raised or lowered in pitch, most usefully by means of a key signature of one flat.

One of his famous masses, Missa Cuiusvis Toni, which means something like 'mass in a mode of choice', is a composition that can be performed in at least three of the four authentic church modes (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian and Mixolydian).
They use altered modes as a means of achieving the musical depth and variety for which the West relies on harmony.
One nice effect is obtaining feedback at a particular harmonic, then bending the string, whereupon the origianal mode of vibration, now at a different frequency, usually dies away and a new one fades into prominence.

The difference of species; considered as the characteristic distinction of modes, is evidently spoken of as a thing antiquated and obsolete, not only by Aristides (who «\vas certainly later than Cicero, see p.
It seems likely that the ancient modes mentioned by Euclid, and described above, consisting of octachords taken, as regards their speeies^ from different parts of the (ruo-T-fyua a/xeragoAoj/, would, as regards pitch, be each so placed as to lie between uttcct?] jueVcoi/ and v^Ti] $ie££vyp.£Vmode of the same name.
The only important results, however, are, first, that the modes did anciently differ in species; secondly, that in process of time this difference either disap­peared entirely, or ceased to be their distinguishing mark ; and, thirdly, that their general pitch was always different.

 Composer Kurt Mortensen: Glarean's Dodecachordon Texts
The numbers refer to the mode which the text is discussing as well as the scale that is employed in the melodic setting.
But all the examples of this mode are transposed from the proper tonic by a fourth, so that the bass may have a place within the scale and not wander beyond it...
This final mode which was almost unused by early church musicians at a time when all matters were mature and weighty, is so very common in our time and in such frequent use among men that I would have omitted an example of it if we had not presented examples of all the other modes.

The extinct Ionian mode was a G mode and the Aeolian and Locrian were A modes, but it is not known how these differed from the HP and HD modes.
John Chalmers' answer to the confusion between ancient Greek and medieval ecclesiastical modes is correct, however, so is the original statement that the medieval theorists determined the modal structure from the opposite direction.
Although the modes may be thought of as sections of the diatonic scale starting on different notes, the Greeks actually transposed all their modes to the same register.

There may be something in this, but the presence of the classical pentatonic, the major and minor triads, and being further from 7-equal all give melodic distinctiveness to this scale.
