After an Obama speech, there is an aeolian quality to be found in the utterances of the mainstream anchors, a hushed rendering, as if they were reporting the word of God Himself. Sometimes these sounds are accompanied by a tingle down the leg.

The aeolian sighs and moans of those hurt by the obama economy are becoming louder and louder!

The Aeolian Mode is the Natural Minor. It is a musical Term
You can hear the Aeolian Mode by playing 8 consecutive white keys on the piano, starting and ending on A.

The Piano was DESIGNED upon the Aeolian Mode, with the other 6 modes fitted in like this: (White Keys only)

Aeolian: Start on A (Natural Minor)
Locrian: Start on B (A Very Weird diminished mode)
Ionian: Start on C (Our Do-Re-Mi Major Scale)
Dorian: Start on D (A minor mode popular in the Middle Ages and Favored by Composer John Williams)
Phrygian: Start on E. A minor Mode with a flat second used by Beethoven in “Turkish March)
Lydian: Start on F (A major Mode with a Raised 4th,)
Mixolyidian: Start on G (A Major Mode with a Dominant 7th)

Brother Guido of Arezzi (12th Cent) was the first person to assign lyrics to the Ionian Mode, giving us the Do-Re-Mi sequence. There is a statue of him in that town in italy and he is credited as being the father of modern musical notation.

He did this because he couldn’t get his choir to sing the right notes.

And THAT my FRiends is where “Aeolian” comes from.

Since it only involves the WHITE Keys, we can assume that the Aeolian Mode is Raciss.

They are missing a definition, because Aeolian is also the name for one of the modes of classical music.
