Hi all. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of the more commonly used major and minor dromoi and what their corresponding names are in western/european church music theory terms. (i.e. as per previous thread, I see that OUSAK is Phrygian) This information would help a lot as I am not very good with musical theory ... though lately I have been inspired to get back to basics. Thanks pedia P.S. It's been a while since OUSAK was dromo of the month. How about the next one in the series

I've been busy finishing my master's recital for school but I'll try to be better about this. When I have time over the next day or so, I'll post the new dromo of the month. As far as eastern/western dromoi are concerned, there are at least three more common ones.... katharo minore=natural minor harmoniko minore=harmonic minor rast=major

Thanks Pete. I've been asked to help a friend with a short presentation on the bouzouki and Greek music this weekend. He is a classically trained musician (violinist) with 30 years experience. He has done nothing but play the violin his whole life. I have been playing bouzouki for many years but, as a result of starting to play by ear and without tuition, I never got too heavily into the theory behind it all. Recently I decided to attempt to improve my knowledge so this is for my benefit as much as his.
Is there a catalogue of all the Greek modes listed with their relevant european names?

I don't know of one personally but I imagine that there is one published somewhere. Perhaps if you know of any musicians or music educators in Greece they might know. Pete

You see, the main difference between western modes and Greek modes is that the western modes are all baed on the major scale. The eastern modes are mostly not based on the major scale but rather, are invented or synthetic...not naturally occuring based on western music theory which is basd on the major scale.
