POPSAncient Greek Music Theory - Modes The Greeks had developed a complex system of relating particular emotional and spiritual characteristics to certain modes (scales). The names for the various modes derived from the names of Greek tribes and peoples, the temperament and emotions of which were said to be characterized by the unique sound of each mode, which included the Ancient Greek subgroups (Ionians, Dorians, Aeolians), one small region in central Greece (Locris), and certain neighboring (non-Greek) peoples from Asia Minor (Lydia, Phrygia). Thus, Dorian modes were "harsh", Phrygian modes "sensual", and so forth.

POPSClassical Guitarists: Aaron Brock & Elliot Frank Aaron Brock died at the age of 32 shortly after this interview/performance of a rare undiagnosed heart ailment. Such a shame. Here he tunes his guitar to an open tuning. The two movements he plays start out very somber and slow increasing to a dramatically intense flurry of right-hand picking and left-hand slurs (hammer-ons/pull-offs), and finally decelerating back to the original motif.
