It required hours of researching, typing, read-proofing, and double-checking. I am very glad to offer it for free to instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, improvisers, students, and music hobbysts. Feel free to share this material with your fellow musicians. Instead of passing a copy of this PDF document, suggest them to download the most recent version from www.saxopedia.com/the-scale-omnibus I dedicate this book to my wife Adriana, who has inspired all the nicest achievements in my life. 2 Introduction Virtually all kinds of music are based on scales. In primary schools we were taught to sing the major scale and even people who don’t play a musical instruments can typically distinguish between major and minor modes. If you are a classical, jazz or pop musician you probably learned a few more scales, most likely the the modes of the Major scale, the Blues scale and the Pentatonic scale. In most cases, you don’t need to learn any other scale; after all, for centuries classical Western composers have produced wornderful masterpieces with no more than a couple dozens difficent scales. Other music traditions are based on a larger set of scales. If you play South India Carnatic music, you are expected to know and practice no fewer than 72 different ragas. If you are from North India, you should be able to distinguish between ragas based on the time of the day and the season of the year. Many ragas have different ascending and descending forms, thus the learning effort isn’t trivial at all. Regardless of which music style you are in, there is an unexplored world out there, based on scales that you might not be familiar with. Studying and practicing “uncommon” scales adds new sounds to your music vocabulary and can bring novel ideas, both during composition and improvisation. The goal The objective of The Scale Omnibus is providing information about the many scales you can “borrow” from all over the world, from Western composers of the past, from jazz and rock improvisers of the present. When possible, a scale description includes historical or geographical notes, oddities and trivia. If you like knowing that the Simpson theme is based on the Lydian Dominant scale - which was also used by composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky, and Bartók – this book is for you. There are many books and websites containing tons of different scales. Many classical composers are familiar with Nicolas Slonimski’s Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, and most jazz improvisers have studied Don Hearle’s Scales for Jazz Improvisation or similar textbooks. These are must-read books and cover many scales in a very accurate manner, nevertheless they leave out an even larger number of scales. At the other side of the spectrum, you can easily find several websites with hundreds of scales, which are described in a very essential way (in most cases, just the interval list). For example, you should have a look at The Piano Encyclopedia (http://pianoencyclopedia.com/scales) or the Simon’s Stuff blog (http://jollyninja.com/wordpress/scales), which broadly contain the same scale collection, or the HuygensFokker site (http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/modename.html), which also includes micro-tonal scales. Many Wikipedia pages are devote to this topic – for example search for “List of musical scales and modes” and “Musical styles” – and have been a major information source for this book. The main shortcoming of these huge scale collections is they fail to show the relationship between different scales. For example, none of them make it clear the the Egyptian scale, the Rui Bin Chinese scale, and the Madhyamavati Indian raga contain the same notes as the Suspended Pentatonic that so widely used in jazz and rock, and that all of these scales are nothing but the 2nd mode of the very popular Major Pentatonic scale. To put things in perspective, The Scale Omnibus contains 1,018 scale names, yet only 392 distinct scales, therefore any given scale has about 2.5 synonyms on the average. Of those 392 distint scales, as many as 239 scales are actually modes of another scale (e.g. the Lydian Dominant scale is mode IV of the Melodic 3 Minor scale), which leaves just 154 scales that are truly different, i.e. contain a different sets of notes. Even if each mode of a given scale calls for a different treatment, you typically don’t need to practice over all the modes of a given scale, because the fingering on your instrument is the same for all of them. The initial set of 1,000+ scales has quickly become more manageable. All the websites devoted to music scales include an example of the each scale starting on the C note or the interval list (e.g. CDEFGAB or 2212221 for the Major scale), or both. Transposing scales to other keys is left as an “exercise for the reader”, as is determining over which chords you can use the scale. These pieces of information are included in this book, to minimize your efforts. Overview To create some order in this vast material, the book has been organized in several sections. The Major and Minor Scales chapter describes the Major, the Melodic Minor and the Harmonic Minor scales and the modes that can be derived from them. The Symmetrical Scales section covers limited transposition scales, that is scales for which fewer than 12 distinct versions exist. For example, there are only two distinct Whole-Tone scales, one starting on C and the other starting on C# (the scale starting on D, E, F#, G#, and Bb are the same as the C scale). The Jazz Scales chapter includes the many variations of the blues and bebop scales, whereas the Pentatonic Scales section offers an insight the most common 5-note scales used in jazz and world music. The Modal Scales section gathers variations of common modes of the major and minor scales, and provides a lot of interesting hints for jazz improvisation. The European Scales, Asian Scales, and Indian Scales sections group scales by their geographical original. Indian scales typically belong to one of two groups: melas and ragas. The last chapter, Miscellaneous Scales, includes African and American scales, plus scales that don’t fit nicely in any of the previous sections. Scales in these four chapters are listed alphabetically. At the end of the book you can find a few useful supplements. The Scale Index table summarizes the properties of all main scales described in more details in the various chapters. The Scales by Name table lists all scales in alphabetical order, including those that are synonims for better known ones. The Scales by Interval table provides a quick way to identify a scale from a group of notes or intervals. Finally, the Scales by Chord table summarizes the scales that are typically used over different chords in jazz improvisation. Some scales fit in more than one category, and the criteria for selecting the appropriate section were somewhat arbitrary. For example, some Indian 5-note ragas were included in the Pentatonic Scales section, others are listed in the Indian Scales section. This was done in the attempt to keep different modes of a given pentatonic scale in adjacent pages. Selection criteria While a great effort has been done to include as many distinct scales as possible, The Scale Omnibus surely doesn’t cover all the scales that have been used over the years by musicians from all over the world. In fact, only scales meeting a few requirements are listed in this collection. First, only scales with 5 or more notes are included. The rationale here is that scales with 4, 3 or 2 notes – yes, there are “scales” with just two notes! – may be of interest to a musicologist, yet are inadequate for either modern compositions and improvisations. 4 Second, only scales based on the 12-tone equal temperament were included. Microtonal scales, scales that use just temperament, and scales that use equal temperament obtained by dividing the octave in a different number of intervals – as is the case of some Arabian scales – are not included. For more information, search Wikipedia for “Equal Temperament.” Third, in most cases only the ascending mode of a scale is included. There are several scales that use a different set of notes in their ascending and descending version, yet this book only lists the ascending version. There are a few exceptions, though, such as the Enigmatic scale and a few Indian ragas. Modes, intervals, chords All scales are reported in all 12 keys, with the only exception of the Chromatic scale for obvious reasons. Effort has been made in selecting the accidentals that preserve the nature of the scale itself, but at the same time trying to minimize the number of accidentals and avoid double sharps or double flats if possible. In other words, 7-note scales typically contain seven distinct note names, each with the proper accidental. For non-Western scales and for scales with 8 or more notes accidentals are used more liberally. The selection of a given scale as the “primary scale” that generates one or more modes was arbitrary in some cases. While the relationship between modes of major and minor scales is quite clear – e.g. the Dorian mode was conceived as the 2nd mode of the Major scale – indicating that, say, the Raga Hamsanandi is the 4th mode of the Blues scale doesn’t mean to imply that there is any stylistic or historical relationship between the two. Even in this case, however, the information can be useful: if you are proficient with the Blues scale on your instrument you already have the Raga Hamsanandi scale “under your fingers”, and it’s just a matter of experimenting with its sounds over one or more chords. For each scale, one or more chords are also provided. These are the chords for which the scale can be a good candidate for improvisation. It should be kept in mind, though, that some scales – especially India ragas and scales with 9 or more notes – don’t fit well any kind of Western harmony. In some cases the accompanying test specifies which notes should be avoided or used as “passing notes”, but in the majority of cases this kind of advice has been omitted. A great advantage of an e-book over a standard paper book is that the former can include hyperlinks, both to websites and to other portions of the same document. This feature has been used extensively in the PDF version of The Scale Omnibus. Virtually all scale names are hyperlinks to the page where the page is described with more details. For example, you can quickly get more information about all the modes of a given “primary scale”. Hyperlinks are heavely used in the Appendix sections, where you can explore all scales by their name, interval set, children modes, related chords, and so forth. Licensing and distribution The primary objective of this book is making in-depth knowledge about scales available to the largest number of people as possible. For this reason The Scale Omnibus is free. Free as a free lunch. No strings attached. You are encouraged to pass this PDF to your fellow musicians. If you are a music teacher or run a music school, feel free to copy this PDF or printouts of this books to your students, provided that you don’t sell the PDF version and charge a reasonable sum of money for the printout (e.g. no more than mere printing costs) 5 you don’t use this material in commercial publications without the written consent of the author you always include the first page of this book, which includes the title and author name. Instead of distributing a copy of the PDF, please divulge the following URL, where all future editions of this book will be made available for download: http://www.saxopedia.com/the-scale-omnibus Passing this URL along to your friends and students rather than the actual PDF ensures that they will download the most recent edition of The Scale Omnibus. Donate and contribute If you feel the urge to compensate the author for the effort of putting all this information together, you can just donate any sum of money you believe is adequate. To do so, just click on the image below (if you are reading the PDF version) or visit the above-mentioned page on www.saxopedia.com website.

In th rd general, the 4 degree should be used as a passing tone and resolve to the major 3 . nd Individual notes of the major scale are sometimes called with specific names: tonic (root), supertonic (2 ), mediant rd th th th th (3 ), subdominant (4 ), dominant (5 ), submediant (6 ), leading tone (7 ). 7 Dorian Alternate names: Gregorian 8, Mischung 5 (Germany), Yu (China), Hyojo (Japan), Oshikicho (Japan), Nam (Vietnam), Raga Kafi That, Mela Kharaharapriya, Raga Bhairavi ascending, Raga Kharapriya, Raga Shree descending, Raga Bhimpalasi, Raga Nayaki Kanada, Raga Sri, Raga Ritigaula, Raga Huseni, Raga Kanara, Raga Bageshri Mode: mode II of Major scale (C Dorian = Bb Major) Intervals: 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 Chords: Cm7, Cm7/9 In jazz improvisation, the Dorian scale is the primary choice over minor chords when they are used as IIm7 chords (e.g. Dm7 in C major key). 8 Phrygian Alternate names: Major Inverse, Ousak (Greece), Zokuso (Japan), Maqam Kurd (Iraq), Raga Dhanyasi descending, Mela Hanumatodi, Mela Bhairavi That, Raga Bilashkhani Todi, Raga Ghanta Mode: mode III of Major scale (C Phrygian = Ab Major) Intervals: 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 Chords: Cm7 In jazz improvisation, the Phrygian scale is the primary choice over minor chords when they are used as IIIm7 chords (e.g. Em7 in C major key). 9 Lydian Alternate names: Ping (China), Gu (China), Mela Mecakalyani, Raga Shuddh Kalyan, Raga Kalyan That Mode: mode IV of Major scale (C Lydian = G Major) Intervals: 2 2 2 1 2 2 1 Chords: C, Cmaj7, C#11 th In modern jazz, the Lydian scale is often preferred to the Major scale over major chords because its 4 degree doesn’t rd need to resolve down to the 3 . This scale has become very popular in modern jazz also thanks to George Russell’s Lydian Chromatic Concepts textbook. 10 Mixolydian Alternate names: Gregorian 2, Mischung 3 (Germany), Shang (China), Mela Harikamboji, Raga Kambodhi descending, Raga Khamaj That, Raga Janjhuti, Raga Harini, Raga Khambhavati, Raga Surati, Raga Balahamsa Mode: mode V of Major scale (C Mixolydian = F Major) Intervals: 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 Chords: C7, C9 th In most jazz styles, the Mixolydian scale is the primary choice over dominant 7 chords with no altered note. 11 Aeolian Alternate names: Natural Minor, Peruvian Minor, Cushak (Armenia), Ezel (Ethiopia), Geez (Ethiopia), Se (Japan), Raga Bhairavi descending, Mela Natabhairavi, Raga Jaunpuri, Raga Adana, Raga Jingla, Raga Asavari That Mode: mode VI of Major scale (C Aeolian = Eb Major) Intervals: 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 Chords: Cm7 In jazz improvisation, the Aeolian scale is the primary choice over minor chords when they are used as VIm7 chords (e.g. Am7 in C major key). 12 Locrian Alternate names: Pien Chih (China), Makam Lami (Jewish), Yishtabach (Jewish) Mode: mode VII of Major scale (C Locrian = Db Major) Intervals: 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 Chords: Cm7/b5 In jazz improvisation, the Locrian scale is the primary choice over half-diminished chords when they are used as VIIm7 chords (e.g. Bm7/b5 in C major key). 13 Melodic Minor Alternate names: Ascending Minor, Mischung 1 (Germany), Mela Gaurimanohari, Raga Patdip, Raga Velavali, Raga Deshi 2 Modes: Dorian b2 (II), Lydian Augmented (III), Lydian Dominant (IV), Melodic Major (V), Half-diminished (VI), Altered Dominant (VII) Intervals: 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 Chords: Cmin/maj7, Cmin6 th In classical music, this scale has two versions: ascending and descending; the descending version has both 6 and 7 degrees flattened (i.e. Ab and Bb for the C minor melodic scale). In jazz music, no such distinction exists. 14 th Dorian b2 Alternate names: Jazz Minor Inverse, Phrygian Natural 6, Phrygian Mixolydian, Javanese, Mela Natakapriya, Raga Natabharanam, Raga Ahiri Todi Mode: mode II of Melodic Minor scale (C Dorian b2 = Bb Melodic Minor) Intervals: 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 Chords: Cm7/b9, C7sus/b9 15 Lydian Augmented Alternate names: Lydian #5, Altered Lydian Mode: mode III of Melodic Minor scale (C Lydian Augmented = A Melodic Minor) Intervals: 2 2 2 2 1 2 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#5 The Lydian Augmented scale has been used by many bop and post-bop players, such as McCoy Tyner. 16 Lydian Dominant Alternate names: Lydian b7, Mixolydian #4, Bartok, Acoustic, Overtone, Mela Vacaspati, Raga Bhusavati or Bhusavali Mode: mode IV of Melodic Minor scale (C Lydian b7 = G Melodic Minor) Intervals: 2 2 2 1 2 1 2 Chords: C7/#11 th The Lydian Dominant scale differs from the Mixolydian scale for its raised 4 degree, therefore it is often preferred to Mixolydian scale as the primary choice for altered dominant chords, especially when not resolving to the tonic chord (e.g. C7/#11 when not resolving to Fmaj7 or Fm7). th th In classical music, this scale is sometimes referred to as Acoustic scale and has been used by 19 - and 20 -century composers such as Liszt, Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartók, Szymanowski, and Howard Hanson (Symphony n. 4). This scale is also used in folk music of Polish Highlands and Nordeste (northeastern region of Brazil). As a curiosity, the Lydian Dominant scale is used in the Simpson Theme song. 17 Melodic Major Alternate names: Mixolydian b6, Mixolydian b13, Aeolian Major, Major Minor, Mischung 6 (Germany), Hindu (India), Maqam Ussak (Iraq), Mela Carukesi, Raga Tarangini Mode: mode V of Melodic Minor scale (C Melodic Major = F Melodic Minor) Intervals: 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 Chords: C7/#5, C7/b13 18 Half Diminished Alternate names: Semilocrian, Locrian Natural 2, Minor Locrian, Minor b5, Altered Diminished Mode: mode VI of Melodic Minor scale (C Half Diminished = Eb Melodic Minor) Intervals: 2 1 2 1 2 2 2 Chords: Cm7/b5 th th The Half Diminished scale is similar to the Locrian scale, except it contains a major 9 instead of minor 9 . It is often preferred to the Locrian scale when improvising over half-diminished chords, when they work as II degree of minor key (e.g. Dm7/b5 in C minor key). 19 Altered Dominant Alternate names: Altered, Superlocrian, Locrian b4, Pomeroy, Ravel Mode: mode VII of Melodic Minor scale (C Altered Dominant = Db Melodic Minor) Intervals: 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 Chords: C7/b9/#9/#11/b13 The Altered Dominant scale has a very distinctive sound and is often the primary choice for dominant chords with all altered notes (that is, b9, #9, #11, and b13). This scale appeared in the works of Debussy, Ravel (hence the alternate Ravel name), and modern composer Steve Reich. 20 Harmonic Minor Alternate names: Mischung 4 (Germany), Mohammedan, Maqam Bayat-e-Esfahan (Iraq), Maqam Sultani Yakah(Iraq), Sultani Yakah, Zhalibny Minor, Raga Pilu That, Mela Kiravani, Raga Kiranavali, Raga Kirvani, Raga Kalyana Vasantha, Raga Deshi 3 Intervals: 2 1 2 2 1 3 1 Modes: Locrian #6 (II), Ionian Augmented (III), Romanian Minor (IV), Phrygian Dominant (V), Lydian #2 (VI), Ultralocrian (VII) Chords: Cmin/maj7 nd The Harmonic scale and its modes have a very distinctive sound, given by the augmented 2 interval (3 semitones) th th between the 6 and 7 degrees. In classical music this scale has been used more sparingly than the Melodic Minor scale, by composers such as Bach, Mozart and Schubert (String Quartet 1, movement 1), usually in its descending form rather than ascending form. 21 Locrian #6 Alternate names: Locrian Natural Maj6, Dorian b9, Mode: mode II of Harmonic Minor scale (C Locrian Maj7 = Bb Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 1 2 2 1 3 1 2 Chords: Cm7/b5 22 Ionian Augmented Mode: mode III of Harmonic Minor scale (C Ionian Augmented = A Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 2 2 1 3 1 2 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#5 23 Romanian Minor Alternate names: Dorian #4, Gnossiennes, Ukranian Dorian, Tunisian, Kaffa (Ethiopia), Maqam Hedjaz (Iraq), Maqam Nakriz (Iraq) Misheberekh (Jewish), Nigriz (Greece), Peiraiotikos Minor (Greece), Souzinak (Greece), Ukrainian Minor, Mela Hemavati, Raga Desisimharavam Mode: mode IV of Harmonic Minor scale (C Romanian = G Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 2 1 3 1 2 1 2 Chords: Cm7/#11, Cdim7 th The Romanian scale can be thought of as a Dorian mode with a raised 4 degree. It is often used in Klezmer Bulgarish music and other Eastern Europe music styles. It has been used also by composers such as Bert Kaempfert (Sweet Maria tune), Eric Satie (hence the alternate name Gnossiennes), and George Gershwin. 24 Phrygian Dominant Alternate names: Phrygian Major, Harmonic Major inverse, Spanish or Spanish Gipsy, Zilof (Spain), Dorico Flamenco (Spain), Jewish, Avaha or Ahava Rabba (Jewish), Freygish (or Fraigish), Hitzaz (or Hijaz, Greece), Alhijaz (Saudi Arabian), Maqam Humayun (Iraq), Maqam Zengule (Iraq), Maqam Hijaz-Nahawand (Iraq), Humayun (Iraq), Mela Vakulabharanam, Raga Jogiya, Raga Vativasanta Mode: mode V of Harmonic Minor scale (C Phrygian Dominant = F Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 1 3 1 2 1 2 2 Chords: C7/b9/b13 The Phrygian Dominant scale can be found in jazz compositions by Charles Mingus (Ysabel’s Table Dance, Don’t Let It Happen Here, The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady). It was used in classical music by Franz Liszt (B-minor Sonata, closing bars). 25 Lydian #2 Alternate names: Mela Kosalam, Raga Kuksumakaram (or Kusumakaram) Mode: mode VI of Harmonic Minor scale (C Lydian #2 = E Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 3 1 2 1 2 2 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#11 26 Ultralocrian Alternate names: Mixolydian #1 Mode: mode VII of Harmonic Minor scale (C UltraLocrian = Db Harmonic Minor) Intervals: 1 2 1 2 2 1 3 Chords: Cdim7 27 Symmetrical Scales Whole-Tone st Alternate names: Hexatonic, Anhemitonic Hexatonic, Messiaen 1 Mode, Raga Sahera, Raga Gopriya Intervals: 2 2 2 2 2 2 Chords: Caug, C7/#5, Caug7/#11 The Whole-Tone scale is symmetrical and exist only two different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by combining two augmented triads that are one whole tone apart (e.g. C-E-G# and D-F#-A#). In classical music, the Whole-Tone scale has been used by Mozart (Musical Jokes for strings and horns), Liszt (Dante Symphony), Berlioz, Schubert, Glinka (Ruslan and Lyudmila, overture), Borodin (Prince Igor), Rimsky-Korsakov (Sadko), Debussy, Alan Berg (Violin Concert), Bartók (Fifth String Quartet), and Busoni. This scale appears in many jazz compositions and improvisations, such as JuJu (Wayne Shorter), One Up, One Down (John Coltrane). Art Tatum and Thelonious Monk have used this scale extensively. It appears in bar 3 and 4 of the opening of You Are The Sunshine of My Life (Stevie Wonder). 28 Augmented rd Alternate names: Major Augmented, Messiaen Truncated 3 Mode Inverse, Genus Tertium, Raga Devamani Modes: Inverted Augmented (II) Intervals: 3 1 3 1 3 1 Chords: Caug, Cmaj7/#5, C7/#5/#9 The Augmented scale is symmetrical and exist only four different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by combining two augmented triads that are one half tone apart (e.g. C-E-G# and C#-F-A). It made its first appearance in the work of Franz Liszt (Faust Symphony) and was used by Shostakovich (Second Piano Trio, finale), Ginastera, Prado, Bartók, Babbit, and Schoenberg. The scale has been extensively used in the late 50s and early 60s, by players such as Oliver Nelson (Stolen Moments), John Coltrane, and Michael Brecker. 29 Inverted Augmented nd Alternate names: Messiaen 2 Mode, Prometheus Liszt Mode: Mode II of Augmented scale (C Inverted Augmented = B Augmented) Intervals: 1 3 1 3 1 3 Chords: Caug, Caug6, Caug/b9 30 Diminished nd Alternate names: Octatonic, Whole-Tone Diminished, Messiaen 2 Mode Inverse, Modus Conjunctus Intervals: 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 Modes: Diminished Half-tone (II) Chords: Cdim7, Cdim7/9, Cdim9/#11 The Diminished scale is symmetrical and exist only three different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by th combining two diminished 7 chords that are one whole tone apart (e.g. C-Eb-F#-A and C#-E-G-Bb). This scale has been extensively used in Western music, by composers such as Scalatti, Liszt (Feux Follets), Glinka (Ruslan and Lyudmila), Rimsky-Korsakov (Kashchey the Immortal), Stravinsky (Petrushka, The Rite of Spring, Concert for Piano and Wind Instruments), Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, Bartók (Batagelles, Improvisations, Fourth Quartet, Cantata Profana, Mikrokosmos 99, 101 and 109), Bloch, Khatchaturian, Messiaen, Milhaud, Poulenc, Prokofiev, Shostakovish. The diminished scale is very frequently used in jazz composition and improvisation, in its both modes (see Diminished Half-tone scale). 31 Diminished Half-tone nd Alternate names: Messiaen 2 Mode Intervals: 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 Mode: mode II of Diminished scale (C Diminished Half-tone = Bb Diminished) Chords: C7/b9, C7/#9, C7/#11 Together with the Altered scale, the Diminished Half-tone scale is the primary choice for altered dominant chord. As such, it has been extensively used by virtually all bop and post-bop improvisers. 32 Chromatic Intervals: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 The chromatic scale contains all 12 notes used in Western well-tempered music system. Even though in theory it is possible to name 12 different chromatic scale, in practice there is only one of such scale. The Chromatic scale is rarely used in its entirety in tonal or modal jazz, because it will sound as dissonant over virtually any chord. However, fast chromatic phrases are often used to connect chordal or non-dissonant tones. 33 Tritone Alternate names: Petrushka chord Modes: Raga Neelangi (III) Intervals: 1 3 2 1 3 2 Chords: Cm7 The Tritone scale is symmetrical and exist only six different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by combining two major triads that are one tritone apart (e.g. C-E-G and Gb-Bb-Db). This scale is enharmonically equivalent to the Petrushka chord, named after Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka. 34 Raga Neelangi Mode: mode III of Tritone scale (C Neelangi = G# Tritone) Intervals: 2 1 3 2 1 3 Chords: Cdim Raga Neelangi is a symmetrical Indian raga, only six different versions of this scale exist. It can be obtained by th th removing the 4 and 8 note of a Diminished scale. 35 Messiaen 2nd Mode Truncated Intervals: 1 2 3 1 2 3 Chords: C7/#11, C7/b9/#9/#11 Messiaen modes are a family of scales compiled by French composer Olivier Messiaen e published in his book La technique de mon langage musical (“The technique of my musical language”). These scales were also widely used by rd composer Tōru Takemitsu, especially the 3 Mode. These scales are symmetrical and of limited transposition, that is, there exist fewer than 12 distinct scales; for rd example, only four distinct Messiaen 3 Mode scales exist, because the scales built on E and G# are identical and contain the same notes as the scale built on C, the scales built on F and A are identical to the scale built on C#, etc. The set of Messiaen scales includes all the limited transposition scales that can be built with the 12 notes of the st nd tempered system. The Messiaen 1 Mode is more commonly known as the Whole-Tone scale, the Messiaen 2 Mode is the same as the Dimished Half-tone scale. Even more symmetrical scales can be obtained by “truncating”, that is, by dropping two or more notes from one of rd th the more complete scales. Only 3 and 7 Modes are not truncated modes, and all others can be obtained from them: rd st th nd th th th th 3 Mode contains 1 Mode, 7 Mode contains 2 Mode, 4 Mode, and 6 Mode; 5 Mode is a truncated form of 6 Mode. nd th th nd More specifically, Messiean 2 Mode Truncated is obtained by dropping the 4 and 8 note of Messiaen 2 Mode. 36 Messiaen 3rd Mode Modes: Genus Chromaticum (III) Intervals: 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 Chords: Caug7, Caug/maj7 37 Messiaen 4th Mode th Modes: Messiaen 4 Inverse (III) Intervals: 1 1 3 1 1 1 3 1 Chords: Csus/maj7 38 Messiaen 4th Mode Inverse th th th Mode: mode III of Messiaen 4 Mode (C Messiaen 4 Mode Inverse = Bb Messiaen 4 Mode) Intervals: 3 1 1 1 3 1 1 1 Chords: Cmaj7/b5, C7/b5 39 Messiaen 5th Mode th Modes: Messiaen 5 Mode Inverse (II), Two-Semitone Tritone (III) Intervals: 1 4 1 1 4 1 Chords: Csus/maj7 40 Messiaen 5th Mode Inverse th th th Mode: mode II of Messiaen 5 Mode (C Messiaen 5 Mode Inverse = B Messiaen 5 Mode) Intervals: 4 1 1 4 1 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#11, C7/#11 41 Messiaen 6th Mode th Modes: Messiaen 6 Mode Inverse (III) Intervals: 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 Chords: C7/#5, C7/#5/#11 It should be noted that this scale contains the first 4 notes of the Major scale, followed by the first 4 notes of of the Major scale built a tritone above. 42 Messiaen 6th Mode Inverse th th th Mode: mode III of Messiaen 6 Mode (C Messiaen 6 Mode Inverse = Ab Messiaen 6 Mode) Intervals: 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 Chords: C7, C7/#5, C7/b9, C7/#11 43 Messiaen 7th Mode th Modes: Symmetrical Decatonic (II), Messiaen 7 Inverse (IV) Intervals: 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 Chords: Cmaj7/b5, Cdim7 44 Messiaen 7th Mode Inverse th th th Mode: mode IV of Messiaen 7 Mode (C Messiaen 7 Mode Inverse = A Messiaen 7 Mode) Intervals: 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 Chords: Cmaj7/b5, C7/b5 th This scale is built by reversing the interval sequence of the IV mode of the Messiaen 7 Mode. 45 Genus Chromaticum rd Alternate names: Messiaen 3 Mode Inverse, Tcherepnin (Russia) rd rd Mode: mode III of Messiaen 3 Mode (C Genus Chromaticum = A Messiaen 3 Mode) Intervals: 1 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 Chords: Cmin/maj7 This scale is sometimes named after contemporary Russian composer Alexander Tcherepnin, who described it in his Basic Elements of My Musical Language book. 46 Two-semitone Tritone th th Mode: mode III of Messiaen 5 Mode scale (C Two-semitone Tritone = G Messiaen 5 Mode) Intervals: 1 1 4 1 1 4 Chords: Caug, C7/#5, C7/#11 The Two-semitone Tritone scale is symmetrical and exist only six different versions of this scale.

As its name implies, the Bebop scale and its variants (Bebop Major, Bebop Dorian, Bebop Melodic Minor, and Bebop Harmonic Minor) were introduced by bebop artists such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Christian, and Lester Young. 62 Bebop Major Mode: mode VIII of Blues Octatonic scale (C Bebop Major = D Blues Octatonic) Intervals: 2 2 1 2 1 1 2 1 Chords: Cmaj7, Cmaj6 th th The Bebop Major scale is similar to the Major scale, except it has an extra note between the 5 and the 6 degree; this extra note which should be used as passing note. rd th th The addition of an eight note permits to play this scale so that chord notes (tonic, 3 , 5 and 7 degrees) are always played on downbeats and therefore be correctly accented and emphasized. 63 Bebop Major Hexatonic Intervals: 2 2 3 1 1 3 Chords: Cmaj7, Cmaj6, C7 th th The Bebop Major Hexatonic scale is obtained from the Bebop Major by omitting the 4 and 7 notes or, alternatively, th by adding a raised 5 note to a Major Pentatonic scale. 64 Bebop Major Heptatonic Alternate names: Mela Mararanjani, Raga Keseri Mode: mode VII of Blues Modified scale (C Bebop Major Heptatonic = D Blues Modified) Intervals: 2 2 1 2 1 1 3 Chords: Cmaj7, Cmaj6, C7 th The Bebop Major Heptatonic scale is obtained from the Bebop Major by omitting the 7 note, which makes this scale usable on both major and dominant chords. 65 Bebop Minor Alternate names: Banshikicho (Japan) Mode: mode III of Blues Phrygian scale (C Bebop Minor = A Blues Phrygian) Intervals: 2 1 1 3 2 1 2 Chords: Cm7, C7, C7/#9 In spite of its name, this scale should not be used over minor chords. Rather, it fits nicely dominant chords, where the th raised 9 note should be used as a passing note, or a chordal note over 7/#9 chords. Please notice that some textbooks use the name “Bebop Minor” for the scale that here is called Bebop Dorian. 66 Bebop Dorian Alternate names: Mixolydian Dorian, Raga Zilla Mode: mode V of the Bebop scale (C Bebop Dorian = F Bebop) Intervals: 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 Chords: Cm7, C7 rd th The Bebop Dorian scale is similar to the Dorian scale, except it has an extra note between the 3 and the 4 degree; this extra note which should be used as passing note. However, when used over a dominant chord, the passing note should be the b3 degree. Notice that some textbook call this scale Bebop Minor, which the current document uses for a different scale. 67 Bebop Melodic Minor Alternate names: Zirafkend (Arabia) Modes: Shostakovich (VI) Intervals: 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 Chords: Cm6, Cmin/maj7 th The Bebop Melodic Minor scale is similar to the Melodic Minor scale, except it has an extra note between the 5 and th the 6 degree; this extra note which should be used as passing note. rd th th The addition of an eight note permits to play this scale so that chord notes (tonic, 3 , 5 and 6 degrees) are always played on downbeats and therefore be correctly accented and emphasized. 68 Bebop Harmonic Minor Alternate names: Bebop Natural Minor, Utility Minor, Gregorian 4, Maqam Nahawand (Iraq), Maqam Farahfaza (Iraq), Raga Suha Kanada Mode: mode VI of Blues Octatonic scale (C Bebop Harmonic Minor = F Blues Octatonic) Intervals: 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 1 Chords: Cm7, Cmin/maj7 th The Bebop Harmonic Minor scale is similar to the Harmonic Minor scale, except it has an extra note between the 6 th th and the 7 degree; this extra note which should be used as passing note when playing over a minor 7 chord. th th However, when playing over a minor/major 7 chord, the extra b7 note is a chord note, and the major 7 note should be the passing note. 69 Bebop Half-diminished Modes: Enigmatic Mixed (VI) Intervals: 1 2 2 1 1 1 3 1 Chords: Cmaj7/b9/#9 70 Bebop Locrian Alternate name: Phrygian Locrian Mode: mode III of Bebop scale (C Bebop Locrian = Ab Bebop) Intervals: 1 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 Chords: Cm7, Cm7/b5 th th This scale can be derived from the Phrygian scale by adding a passing note between the 4 and 5 note. Alternatively, it can be considered as the merge between Phrygian and Locrian scales, hence the name. It can be therefore used whenever a Phrygian or Locrian scale fits the chord. 71 Bebop Chromatic Mode: mode V of Blues Enneatonic 2 scale (C Bebop Chromatic = G Blues Enneatonic 2) Intervals: 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 1 1 Chords: Cmaj7, C7 nd Bebop Chromatic scale is a 9-note scale that can be derived from the Mixolydian mode by adding a flattened 2 and th major 7 note. If these two extra notes are used as passing notes, this scale can be used on any chord that fits the th th Mixolydian scale; if you consider the major 7 as a chord note and the lowered 7 as a passing note, the Bebop Chromatic fits any chord where the Major scale can be used. 72 Pentatonic Scales Major Pentatonic Alternate names: Ryosen (Japan), Yona Nuki Major (Japan), Man Jue (China), Gong (China), Peruvian Major Pentatonic, Ghana Pentatonic 2, Tezeta Major (Ethiopia), Raga Bilahari ascending, Raga Mohanam, Raga Bhopali, Raga Deskar, Raga Kokila, Raga Jait Kalyan, Raga Bhup Modes: Suspended Pentatonic (II), Man Gong (III), Ritusen (IV), Minor Pentatonic (V) Intervals: 2 2 3 2 3 Chords: Cmaj7, Cmaj6, Cmaj9, Cmaj13, C7, C9, C13 The Major Pentatonic (or just Pentatonic) scale and its four modes are by far the most common 5-note scales in Western music, including jazz and rock music. The absence of semitones in the scale encourages playing every note without having to resolve to a chord tone. John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock are just a few of the jazz musicians who have massively used pentatonic scales in their compositions and improvisations. 73 Suspended Pentatonic Alternate names: Egyptian, Shang-Diao (China), Jin-Yu or Quin-Yu (China), Rui Bin (China), Raga Madhmat Sarang, Raga Madhyamavati Mode: mode II of Major Pentatonic scale (C Suspended Pentatonic = Bb Major Pentatonic) Intervals: 2 3 2 3 2 Chords: Csus7, Csus7/9 74 Man Gong Alternate names: Blues Minor, Minyo (Japan), Jiao (China), Quan Ming (China), Yi Ze (China), Raga Hindolam Mode: mode III of Major Pentatonic scale (C Man Gong = Ab Major Pentatonic) Intervals: 3 2 3 2 2 Chords: Cm7 Origin: China 75 Ritusen Alternate names: Blues Major, Scottish Pentatonic, Yo (Japan), Ritsu Gagaku (Japan), Ujo (Korea), Zhi (China), Zheng (China), Bac (Vietnam), Lai Soutsanaen (Laos), Lai Po Sai (Laos), Lai Soi (Laos), Raga Arabhi ascending, Raga Devakriya, Raga Shree ascending, Raga Yadukua Kambodhi ascending, Raga Suddha Saveri Mode: mode IV of Major Pentatonic scale (C Ritusen = F Major Pentatonic) Intervals: 2 3 2 2 3 Chords: Csus7/9 This mode of the Major Pentatonic scale, under the name of Yo scale, is used in much Japanese music. 76 Minor Pentatonic Alternate names: Blues Minor Pentatonic, Peruvian Minor Pentatonic, Bati (Ethiopia), Qing Shang (China), Gu Xian (China), Jia Zhong (China), Yu 2 (China), P'yongjo-kyemyonjo (Korea), Lai Yai (Laos), Lai Noi (Laos) Raga Dhani, Raga Abheri, Raga Dhaanyasi ascending, Raga Udhayaravi Mode: mode V of Major Pentatonic scale (C Minor Pentatonic = Eb Major Pentatonic) Intervals: 3 2 2 3 2 Chords: Cm7 77 Dorian Pentatonic Alternate names: Kumoi (Japan) Modes: Kokin-Choshi (II), Raga Hindol (III), Han-Kumoi (IV), Minor Pentatonic 7 b5 (V) Intervals: 2 1 4 2 3 Chords: Cmin6, Cmin/maj7, Cmin9 This scale is sometimes (and inappropriately) called Minor Pentatonic.

In Javanese the term is said to be a variant of the word pelag meaning "fine" or "beautiful". The Pelog scale has seven notes, but many gamelan ensembles only have keys for five of the pitches. Even in ensembles that have all seven notes, many pieces only use the 5-note subset reported in this page. 84 Raga Hamsanada Alternate names: Raga Vaijayanti Mode: mode III of Ionian Pentatonic scale (C Raga Hamsanada = G Ionian Pentatonic) Intervals: 2 4 1 4 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#11 85 Raga Khamaji Durga Mode: mode IV of Ionian Pentatonic scale (C Raga Khamaji Durga = F Ionian Pentatonic) Intervals: 4 1 4 1 2 Chords: Csus7 86 Dominant Pentatonic Modes: Chaio (II), Chin (III), Kyemyonjo (IV), Kung (V) Intervals: 2 2 3 3 2 Chords: C7, C7/9 nd The Dominant Pentatonic scale is obtained by adding the 2 degree to the dominant chord. 87 Chaio Mode: mode II of Dominant Pentatonic scale (C Chaio = Bb Dominant Pentatonic) Intervals: 2 3 3 2 2 Chords: Csus7, Csus7/#5 Origin: China 88 Chin Alternate names: Raga Harikauns Mode: mode III of Dominant Pentatonic scale (C Chin = Ab Dominant Pentatonic) Intervals: 3 3 2 2 2 Chords: Cm7/b5 Origin: China 89 Kyemyonjo th Alternate name: Minor 6 Added Mode: mode IV of Dominant Pentatonic scale (C Kyemionjo = F Dominant Pentatonic) Intervals: 3 2 2 2 3 Chords: Cm6 Origin: Korea 90 Kung Mode: mode V of Dominant Pentatonic scale (C Kung = D Dominant Pentatonic) Intervals: 2 2 2 3 3 Chords: C7/b5, C7/#11 th This Chinese scale can be obtained from the Major Pentatonic scale by lowering the 5 note. 91 In Alternate names: Sakura (Japan), Naka Zora (Japan), Soft Descend (Japan), Ambassel (Ethiopia), Olympos Enharmonic (Greece), Raga Malahari ascending, Raga Saveri ascending, Raga Gunkali, Raga Kunakri, Raga Latantapryia, Raga Salanganata Modes: Hirajoshi (II), Ake-Bono (III), Iwato (IV), Raga Vasanta ascending (V) Intervals: 1 4 2 1 4 Chords: Cm7 rd th The In scale is similar to the Phrygian mode, except it lacks the 3 and 7 note. It is one of two most used pentatonic scale in Japanese traditional music, the other one being the Yo scale. The In scale is especially common in music for koto and shemisen, and differs from the Yo scale because it contains semitones. The In scale is sometimes known as Sakura, from the well-known Sakura Sakura folk song. The In scale can be also found in ancient genres of Andean music, as in the Machulas Kantu tune by the Bolivia Manta folk group. 92 Hirajoshi Alternate names: Lydian Pentatonic, Chinese, Ching (China), Raga Amrtavarshini, Raga Malashri, Raga Shilangi Mode: mode II of the In scale (C Hirajoshi = B In) Intervals: 4 2 1 4 1 Chords: Cmaj7/#11 nd th The Hirajoshi scale is similar to the Lydian mode, except the 2 and 6 notes are omitted. It is often used in Japanese music as a tuning scale for the koto. A few theory books consider the Hirajoshi scale as a mode of the In scale; however, a few authors (most notably, Slonimsky) consider the Hirajoshi as a first-class scale whose modes generate other pentatonic scales.
