[QUOTE="public hermit, post: 74945665, member: 421854"] The tones, scales, and modes used in classical music are rooted in ancient Greek music theory. More directly, the so-called "Church Modes" came about by a mis-reading of Boethius's translation of that same Greek theory. The seven modern modes used today all have Greek names (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, etc.). I think you can make an argument for Christian influence, but it would be a Medieval Christian influence. [URL]https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Musical_mode#Church_modes[/URL] [/QUOTE]
