| | PLAIN - LoveToKnow Article on PLAIN |
 | | Another theory traces the origin of plain song to the early Greeks; and the supporters of this view lay much stress on the fact that the scales in which its melodies are composed are named after the old Greek modes. | | | The melodies which form the repertoire of plain chant are not written in modern major and minor scales, but in certain tonalities bearing names analogous to those of the early Greek modes, though constructed on very different principles. | | | Less reasonable hypotheses attribute the origin of the plain song to the Phoenicians, to the Egyptians, to the early Christian converts, and to the musicians of the middle ages. |
