| has gloss | eng: The Hypophrygian mode, literally meaning below Phrygian, is a musical mode or diatonic scale of ancient Greece that was based upon the Phrygian tetrachord: a series of rising intervals of a whole tone, followed by a semitone, followed by another whole tone. The rising scale for the octave is a single tone followed by two conjoint Phrygian tetrachords. This is the same as playing all the white notes of a piano from B to B: B | C D E F | (F) G A B. Confusingly, this scale in medieval and modern music theory came to be known as the Locrian mode. |
