"The Modes of Ancient Greek Music" by D. B. Monro is a scholarly examination of ancient Greek musical theory written in the late 19th century. The text is an exploration of the various musical modes—such as Dorian, Phrygian, and Lydian—and their cultural significance as understood by ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. Monro delves into how these modes were believed to influence emotions and character, reflecting the profound relationship between music, ethics, and education in ancient Greece. The opening of this work sets the stage for a deep investigation into historical perspectives on music, particularly the moral and societal implications tied to different musical forms. Monro references his previous contributions to historical texts and acknowledges new discoveries that might influence the current understanding of Greek music. He highlights the complexity of interpreting these ancient modes, noting a prevailing scholarly debate on whether they were defined by their pitch, interval structure, or both. This introductory section paves the way for a systematic discussion of the modes and their theoretical underpinnings, promising a comprehensive exploration grounded in historical texts and philosophical discourse.
