May 30, 2023 at 17:55 comment added Michael Curtis Too long for a comment. Look up Church modes. The modes were built on D, E, F, and G, in both authentic and plagal forms. Accidentals were used on those modes such that they eventually reduced to major and minor tonalities, with phrygian left the odd one out. Locrian, ionian, and aeolian were not in the modal picture for some theorists until very late.
