Hypophrygic mode

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The hypophrygic mode ( deuterus plagalis ), or hypophrygic for short ; is a church key , which is derived from the Phrygian mode as a plagal key .

The hypophrygic mode is formed by placing the upper tetrachord of the Phrygian mode under the lower tetrachord. However, the finalis remains. As a so-called fourth mode or fourth tone , it has a pitch range (ambitus) from B to B , finalis is e and tenor is a .

Phrygian and Hypophrygic modes

In his work Dodekachordon, Glarean characterized the hypophrygic mode as "melancholy supplication". See also doctrine of affect .

For today's applications (e.g. in modal jazz ) the hypophrygic mode does not play a role, because the modal scales do not differentiate between authentic and plagal . So here there is only the Phrygian , but no hypophrygic scale.
