The Dorian Mode dries
watery Phlegm,
weakening its influence
such that instead of
causing lethargy, it
causes a sense
of equanimity and
calm. The ancient
Greeks attributed this
to the Dorian mode's
imparting the power of
the Sun.
The Hypodorian mode
magnifies Phlegm's
effect on the body and
induces lethargy and
sleep. The ancient
Greeks attributed this
to the Hypodorian
mode's imparting the
power of the Moon.
The Phrygian mode
reinforces the effects
of Yellow Bile, inciting
angry passions. The
ancient Greeks
attributed this to the
Phrygian mode's
imparting the power of
the Mars.
The Hypophrygian
mode mitigates Yellow
Bile's effects and acts
as a musical scale to
sooth the savage
breast. It is a tender-
sounding scale that
incites delight. The
ancient Greeks
attributed this to the
Hypophrygian mode's
imparting the power of
the Mercury.
The Lydian mode
reinforces the Blood,
producing happiness.
The ancient Greeks
attributed this to the
Lydian mode's
imparting the power of
the Jupiter.
The Hypolydian mode --
the "Weeping Mode" --
suppresses the effects
of Blood, resulting in
sadness and piety. The
ancient Greeks
attributed this to the
Hypolydian mode's
imparting the power of
the Venus.
The Mixolydian mode
magnifies the effect of
Black Bile, leading to
melancholia. The
ancient Greeks
attributed this to the
Mixolydian mode's
imparting the power of
the Saturn.
The Hypomixolydian
mode supresses the
effects of Black Bile
and is the mode of
happiness, perfection,
and bliss. The ancient
Greeks attributed this
to the Hypolydian
mode's imparting the
power of the stars.

Type of Music
(Agrippa)
"venerable, settled,
pure and sweet, with a
certain grace"
"a mean betwixt
[Saturn and Mars]"
"rough, sharp,
threatning great and
wrathful words"
"hath Harmonies more
remiss, and various,
merry and pleasant,
with a certain boldness:
but the Tone of
particulars, and
proportionated
Consorts obeyeth the
nine Muses"
"grave, constant, fixed,
sweet, merry, and
pleasant Consorts"
"lascivious, luxurious,
delicate, voluptuous,
dissolute and fluent"
"Sad, hoarse, heavy,
and slow words, and
sounds, as it were
pressed to the Center"
