How it is built

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