For prime levels 5 ≤ p ≤ 19, sets of Γ 0 (p)-permuted theta quotients are constructed that generate the graded rings of modular forms of positive integer weight for Γ 1 (p). An explicit formulation of the permutation representation and several applications are given, including a new representation for the number of t-core partitions. The Γ 0 (p)-action induces coefficient symmetries within representations for modular forms and invariance subgroups for coupled systems of differential equations. The symmetry for levels p = 5, 7, 11 is linked to the Kleinian automorphism groups.
