Hi All! Just wanted to mention an exciting (to me, anyway) first for the 3-year-old Scottish Harp competitions in the Pacific Northwest...the intermediate...

... Beverly, this is an interesting observation. Do you mind if we begin a thread on this subject? In what way do you see the "hypo-modes" (aka plagal modes)...
Thanks Cynthia for suggesting a break-out thread on modes. I'd enjoy hearing other ideas, too. They're so little discussed in today's key- centric music... ...
... OK, I still don't get it. There are 7 distinct primary church modes (not the plagals or hypos) and I can't figure out how you're collapsing them into 4. ...
Hi Beth. IIRC the original (8th/c) church modes did not include Ionian, Aeolian, or Lochrian. Lochrian was considered an improbability or impossibility at that...
Since I have decided to pursue harp therapy training, I have the following for sale, which may be of interest to list members. All are in EXCELLENT like NEW...
Good questions, Beth! I'm composing a (very long) email on the church modes which will answer most of your questions, but here I'll touch on a couple of items...

Interesting comments Cynthia. But I have a feeling that these church modes are as off-message for early Gaelic harp as key signatures are. I think of "D mode"...

*sigh* I have no idea what you are all discussing. Can some one explain in very simple terms what modes are and how they work. I learn music by listerning...

Hi Kaz, Modes are best understood at a diatonic instrument. Brilliant for us, because we've got our harps. I'll describe the system in a no- sharp/no-flat...
Not at all Beverly, as Cynthia said, you are more than welcome to play church chant music on your harp, as Irish and Scottish harpers certainly did in medieval...
... I'll give this a try... You've probably heard about Major and Minor scales, by now, yah? Modes are kinda like that. An example of a Major scale is to tune...

John, they are two 18th century Irish harpers: Echlin O'Cathain (1720/29 - c.1790) or O'Kane, from Coleraine, co. Derry. A student of Cornelius Lyons. He...
