How it is built

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