What It Is
A 7-note scale with two augmented-second gaps (between the b2 and 3, and between the b6 and 7), giving it a strongly Middle Eastern character. Notes: A#, B, C##, D#, E, F#, G##.
How It Functions
Its two augmented seconds and flatted 5th create a dramatic, unresolved color quite different from any of the Western church modes.
Mood & Character
Exotic and dramatic - two augmented-second gaps and a flatted 5th give it an intense, unresolved character.
