| | Aeolian Island |
 | | This simple scale was called the hypodorian mode in Greek theory, and the aeolian and locrian modes must have been different, perhaps chromatic, variations of this. |
 | | The term ''aeolian mode'' fell into disuse in mediaeval Europe, as church music was based around eight musical modes: the relative natural scales in D, E, F and G, each with their authentic and plagal counterparts. |
 | | The tenth mode was the plagal version of the aeolian mode, called ''hypaeolian'' (under aeolian), based on the same relative scale, but with the minor third as its ''tenor'', and having a melodic range from a perfect fourth below the tonic, to a perfect fifth above it. |
