'''Traditional Æ music''' is comprised of various styles, but is entirely based on the following nine seven-note modes found in harmonics 8-16 (the complete list of 7-note subsets that are CS and have a 3/2 on the tonic):

# ''vọj Bæ̀v'': 8:9:10:11:12:13:14:16

** This mode is used in a meditative mood as it is also the simplest to describe.

# ''vọj Hủd'': 8:9:10:11:12:13:15:16

** This is canonically called the happiest mode.

# ''vọj Rů̃'': 8:9:10:11:12:14:15:16

** This mode is not very commonly used.

# ''vọj Var Njị'': 10:11:12:13:15:16:18:20

# ''vọj Kyn'': 10:11:12:14:15:16:18:20
