Modes Of The Harmonic Major Scale

Ionian b6 (Harmonic major scale). This is the standard harmonic major scale, starting from its tonic note and following the pattern : 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - b6 - 7. It is also referred to as Ethiopian scale.

Dorian b5. Formula is : Starting from the second degree of the harmonic major scale, the Dorian b5 mode follows the pattern : 1 - 2 - b3 - 4 - b5 - 6 - b7

Phrygian b4 Formula is : The Phrygian #4 mode starts from the third degree and follows the pattern 1 -b2 - b3 - b4 - 5 - b6 - b7 - It is also known as Phrygian b11, Indian scale or Phrygian diminished 11.

Lydian b3. Formula is : Beginning from the fourth degree, the Lydian b3 mode follows the pattern 1 - 2 - b3 - #4 - 5 - 6 - 7. It is also reffered to as Lydian flat 3 or Lydian diminished.

Mixolydian b2. Formula is : This mode starts from the fifth degree and follows the interval pattern 1 - b2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - b7

Lydian Augmented #2. Starting from the sixth degree, the formula is : 1- #2 - 3 - #4 - #5 - 6 - 7

Locrian bb7. The Locrian bb7, also referred to as Diminished Blues b9 mode begins from the seventh degree and follows the interval pattern : 1 - b2 - b3 - 4 - b5 - b6 - bb7.

Each mode has its unique sound and character, providing composers and improvisers with a wide range of harmonic colors to explore.
