Some missing musical modes
We already have Ionian mode, major mode, minor mode, etc.; here are some more from Chambers 1908:


 * Greek modes, consisting each of two tetrachords and one whole step;
 * Gregorian, medieval, or ecclesiastical modes, derived from the above by Ambrose, Gregory the Great, etc., each of the seven natural sounds of the diatonic scale forming the keynote or final of a mode, which embraced that note and the seven above it. To each of these seven modes is attached another, in which the melody, while having the same final or keynote, instead of ascending to the octave above, ranges from the fourth below it to the fifth above. The former are called the authentic modes, the latter plagal modes.
