dc.description.abstract | Musicians, philosophers, historians, and composers through the ages have attempted to understand the relationship between musical modes and musical affections. The Greeks used the modes as prescriptives for healing diseases, based on the purgative power of the affections. Greek writings transmitted through Boethius were misinterpreted by well-meaning Renaissance music theorists who believed Boethius was relating the ethos of the affections to the church modes rather than to the Greek modes. This thesis begins with Plato's and Aristotle's beliefs about musical affect and ends with a discussion of the teachings of Johann Heinichen, Johann Mattheson, and C. P. E. Bach. Stories about using musical modes to bring about healing are also included. | en_US |
