C Ionian
The Ionian mode is a musical mode of diatonic scale. It was part of the music theory of ancient Greece, and was based around the relative natural scale in C (that is, the same as playing all the 'white notes' of a piano from C to C). This simple scale was called the Hypophrygian mode in Greek theory, and the Ionian mode must have been a different, perhaps chromatic, variation of this.
