Modal Theory

Modal Theory is a branch of music theory that systematically studies the structural, functional, and historical characteristics of musical modes, distinguishing itself from other harmonic and tonal systems by its focus on pre-tonal, scale-based organizations of pitch relationships derived from ancient, medieval, and non-Western traditions.
