Aeolian Mode History
.
The names and types of modes have evolved for centuries. In 1547, Heinrich Glarean wrote a music theory book called Dodecachordon, which translates to 12-strings.
.
Heinrich Glarean is credited with preserving music from earlier centuries and he named the 12 modes based on music traditions. We still use Glarean mode names today.
.
The Aeolians were Ancient Greeks. The Aeolian Mode was named after Aeolus, who in Greek Mythology was considered “keeper of the winds.”
