Observations on the Florid Song

Note 72 — CHAP. VII.

John Ernest Galliard translation

The Moods, here spoken of, our Author has not well explained. The Foundation he goes upon are the eight Church Moods. But his Meaning and Complaint is, that commonly the Compositions are in C, or in A, with their Transpositions, and that the others are not used or known. But to particularise here what the Moods are, and how to be used, is impossible, for that Branch only would require a large Treatise by itself.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
