The volume codifies all known theoretical references to mode, all modally ordered musical sources, and all modally cyclic compositions. For many music students and listeners, the "language of the modes" is a deep mystery, accustomed as we are to centuries of modern harmony. The author demystifies the modal world, showing how composers and performers were able to use this structure to create compelling and beautiful works.
