How it is built

  • A major scale with a raised 4th: A instead of A♭. Seven notes.
  • A floats instead of pulling toward B♭ the way a normal 4th would. That one note is the dreamy, film-score sound; hold it over an E♭ chord and let it hang.
  • Same notes as B♭ major, started from its fourth degree.
