  1. ecclesiastical mode

    An ecclesiastical mode refers to a type of scale or tonal framework used in medieval and Renaissance European church music. There are eight ecclestonial modes, also known as church modes, which are distinguished by their unique arrangement of whole and half steps in the diatonic scale. These modes are often named after ancient Greek modes, though they do not align precisely with the original Greek definitions. Ecclesiastical modes form the basis for a large part of the traditional and classical music of the Western world.
