mixolydian

Designating the Mixolydian mode, the highest of the ancient Greek modes, and now having final G and D dominant.

Johann Jakob Froberger's piece Canzona V in G is in the mixolydian mode.

It is susceptible of nodes or modes as far apart as hyperphrygian and mixolydian and of texts so divergent as priests haihooping round David's that is Circe's or what am I saying Ceres' altar and David's tip from the stable to his chief bassoonist about the alrightiness of his almightiness.

Alternative form of Mixolydian.
