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.
