The Scale Omnibus has been my “pet project” of year 2013 and first months of
2014. It required hours of researching, typing, read-proofing, and double-checking.
I am very glad to offer it for free to instrumentalists, vocalists, composers,
improvisers, students, and music hobbysts.
Feel free to share this material with your fellow musicians. Instead of passing a
copy of this PDF document, suggest them to download the most recent version
from www.saxopedia.com/the-scale-omnibus
I dedicate this book to my wife Adriana,
who has inspired all the nicest achievements in my life.

Introduction
Virtually all kinds of music are based on scales. In primary schools we were taught to sing the major scale
and even people who don’t play a musical instruments can typically distinguish between major and minor
modes. If you are a classical, jazz or pop musician you probably learned a few more scales, most likely the
the modes of the Major scale, the Blues scale and the Pentatonic scale. In most cases, you don’t need to
learn any other scale; after all, for centuries classical Western composers have produced wornderful
masterpieces with no more than a couple dozens difficent scales.
Other music traditions are based on a larger set of scales. If you play South India Carnatic music, you are
expected to know and practice no fewer than 72 different ragas. If you are from North India, you should be
able to distinguish between ragas based on the time of the day and the season of the year. Many ragas
have different ascending and descending forms, thus the learning effort isn’t trivial at all.
Regardless of which music style you are in, there is an unexplored world out there, based on scales that you
might not be familiar with. Studying and practicing “uncommon” scales adds new sounds to your music
vocabulary and can bring novel ideas, both during composition and improvisation.
The goal
The objective of The Scale Omnibus is providing information about the many scales you can “borrow” from
all over the world, from Western composers of the past, from jazz and rock improvisers of the present.
When possible, a scale description includes historical or geographical notes, oddities and trivia. If you like
knowing that the Simpson theme is based on the Lydian Dominant scale - which was also used by
composers such as Debussy, Stravinsky, and Bartók – this book is for you.
There are many books and websites containing tons of different scales. Many classical composers are
familiar with Nicolas Slonimski’s Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, and most jazz improvisers have
studied Don Hearle’s Scales for Jazz Improvisation or similar textbooks. These are must-read books and
cover many scales in a very accurate manner, nevertheless they leave out an even larger number of scales.
At the other side of the spectrum, you can easily find several websites with hundreds of scales, which are
described in a very essential way (in most cases, just the interval list). For example, you should have a look
at The Piano Encyclopedia (http://pianoencyclopedia.com/scales) or the Simon’s Stuff blog
(http://jollyninja.com/wordpress/scales), which broadly contain the same scale collection, or the HuygensFokker site (http://www.huygens-fokker.org/docs/modename.html), which also includes micro-tonal
scales. Many Wikipedia pages are devote to this topic – for example search for “List of musical scales and
modes” and “Musical styles” – and have been a major information source for this book.
The main shortcoming of these huge scale collections is they fail to show the relationship between different
scales. For example, none of them make it clear the the Egyptian scale, the Rui Bin Chinese scale, and the
Madhyamavati Indian raga contain the same notes as the Suspended Pentatonic that so widely used in jazz
and rock, and that all of these scales are nothing but the 2nd mode of the very popular Major Pentatonic
scale.
To put things in perspective, The Scale Omnibus contains 1,018 scale names, yet only 392 distinct scales,
therefore any given scale has about 2.5 synonyms on the average. Of those 392 distint scales, as many as
239 scales are actually modes of another scale (e.g. the Lydian Dominant scale is mode IV of the Melodic
3
Minor scale), which leaves just 154 scales that are truly different, i.e. contain a different sets of notes. Even
if each mode of a given scale calls for a different treatment, you typically don’t need to practice over all the
modes of a given scale, because the fingering on your instrument is the same for all of them. The initial set
of 1,000+ scales has quickly become more manageable.
All the websites devoted to music scales include an example of the each scale starting on the C note or the
interval list (e.g. CDEFGAB or 2212221 for the Major scale), or both. Transposing scales to other keys is left
as an “exercise for the reader”, as is determining over which chords you can use the scale. These pieces of
information are included in this book, to minimize your efforts.
Overview
To create some order in this vast material, the book has been organized in several sections.
The Major and Minor Scales chapter describes the Major, the Melodic Minor and the Harmonic Minor
scales and the modes that can be derived from them.
The Symmetrical Scales section covers limited transposition scales, that is scales for which fewer than 12
distinct versions exist. For example, there are only two distinct Whole-Tone scales, one starting on C and
the other starting on C# (the scale starting on D, E, F#, G#, and Bb are the same as the C scale).
The Jazz Scales chapter includes the many variations of the blues and bebop scales, whereas the
Pentatonic Scales section offers an insight the most common 5-note scales used in jazz and world music.
The Modal Scales section gathers variations of common modes of the major and minor scales, and provides
a lot of interesting hints for jazz improvisation.
The European Scales, Asian Scales, and Indian Scales sections group scales by their geographical original.
Indian scales typically belong to one of two groups: melas and ragas. The last chapter, Miscellaneous
Scales, includes African and American scales, plus scales that don’t fit nicely in any of the previous sections.
Scales in these four chapters are listed alphabetically.
At the end of the book you can find a few useful supplements. The Scale Index table summarizes the
properties of all main scales described in more details in the various chapters. The Scales by Name table
lists all scales in alphabetical order, including those that are synonims for better known ones. The Scales by
Interval table provides a quick way to identify a scale from a group of notes or intervals. Finally, the Scales
by Chord table summarizes the scales that are typically used over different chords in jazz improvisation.
Some scales fit in more than one category, and the criteria for selecting the appropriate section were
somewhat arbitrary. For example, some Indian 5-note ragas were included in the Pentatonic Scales section,
others are listed in the Indian Scales section. This was done in the attempt to keep different modes of a
given pentatonic scale in adjacent pages.
Selection criteria
While a great effort has been done to include as many distinct scales as possible, The Scale Omnibus surely
doesn’t cover all the scales that have been used over the years by musicians from all over the world. In fact,
only scales meeting a few requirements are listed in this collection.
First, only scales with 5 or more notes are included. The rationale here is that scales with 4, 3 or 2 notes –
yes, there are “scales” with just two notes! – may be of interest to a musicologist, yet are inadequate for
either modern compositions and improvisations.
4
Second, only scales based on the 12-tone equal temperament were included. Microtonal scales, scales
that use just temperament, and scales that use equal temperament obtained by dividing the octave in a
different number of intervals – as is the case of some Arabian scales – are not included. For more
information, search Wikipedia for “Equal Temperament.”
Third, in most cases only the ascending mode of a scale is included. There are several scales that use a
different set of notes in their ascending and descending version, yet this book only lists the ascending
version. There are a few exceptions, though, such as the Enigmatic scale and a few Indian ragas.
Modes, intervals, chords
All scales are reported in all 12 keys, with the only exception of the Chromatic scale for obvious reasons.
Effort has been made in selecting the accidentals that preserve the nature of the scale itself, but at the
same time trying to minimize the number of accidentals and avoid double sharps or double flats if possible.
In other words, 7-note scales typically contain seven distinct note names, each with the proper accidental.
For non-Western scales and for scales with 8 or more notes accidentals are used more liberally.
The selection of a given scale as the “primary scale” that generates one or more modes was arbitrary in
some cases. While the relationship between modes of major and minor scales is quite clear – e.g. the
Dorian mode was conceived as the 2nd mode of the Major scale – indicating that, say, the Raga Hamsanandi
is the 4th mode of the Blues scale doesn’t mean to imply that there is any stylistic or historical relationship
between the two. Even in this case, however, the information can be useful: if you are proficient with the
Blues scale on your instrument you already have the Raga Hamsanandi scale “under your fingers”, and it’s
just a matter of experimenting with its sounds over one or more chords.
For each scale, one or more chords are also provided. These are the chords for which the scale can be a
good candidate for improvisation. It should be kept in mind, though, that some scales – especially India
ragas and scales with 9 or more notes – don’t fit well any kind of Western harmony. In some cases the
accompanying test specifies which notes should be avoided or used as “passing notes”, but in the majority
of cases this kind of advice has been omitted.
A great advantage of an e-book over a standard paper book is that the former can include hyperlinks, both
to websites and to other portions of the same document. This feature has been used extensively in the PDF
version of The Scale Omnibus. Virtually all scale names are hyperlinks to the page where the page is
described with more details. For example, you can quickly get more information about all the modes of a
given “primary scale”. Hyperlinks are heavely used in the Appendix sections, where you can explore all
scales by their name, interval set, children modes, related chords, and so forth.
Licensing and distribution

th
In modern jazz, the Lydian scale is often preferred to the Major scale over major chords because its 4 degree doesn’t
rd
need to resolve down to the 3 . This scale has become very popular in modern jazz also thanks to George Russell’s
Lydian Chromatic Concepts textbook.

Intervals: 2 2 2 1 2 1 2
Chords: C7/#11
th
The Lydian Dominant scale differs from the Mixolydian scale for its raised 4 degree, therefore it is often preferred to
Mixolydian scale as the primary choice for altered dominant chords, especially when not resolving to the tonic chord
(e.g. C7/#11 when not resolving to Fmaj7 or Fm7).
th
th
In classical music, this scale is sometimes referred to as Acoustic scale and has been used by 19 - and 20 -century
composers such as Liszt, Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartók, Szymanowski, and Howard Hanson (Symphony n. 4). This scale is
also used in folk music of Polish Highlands and Nordeste (northeastern region of Brazil).
As a curiosity, the Lydian Dominant scale is used in the Simpson Theme song.

Chords: Cm7/b5
th
th
The Half Diminished scale is similar to the Locrian scale, except it contains a major 9 instead of minor 9 . It is often
preferred to the Locrian scale when improvising over half-diminished chords, when they work as II degree of minor
key (e.g. Dm7/b5 in C minor key).
19
Altered Dominant
Alternate names: Altered, Superlocrian, Locrian b4, Pomeroy, Ravel
Mode: mode VII of Melodic Minor scale (C Altered Dominant = Db Melodic Minor)
Intervals: 1 2 1 2 2 2 2
Chords: C7/b9/#9/#11/b13
The Altered Dominant scale has a very distinctive sound and is often the primary choice for dominant chords with all
altered notes (that is, b9, #9, #11, and b13).
This scale appeared in the works of Debussy, Ravel (hence the alternate Ravel name), and modern composer Steve
Reich.

The Harmonic scale and its modes have a very distinctive sound, given by the augmented 2 interval (3 semitones)
th
th
between the 6 and 7 degrees.
In classical music this scale has been used more sparingly than the Melodic Minor scale, by composers such as Bach,
Mozart and Schubert (String Quartet 1, movement 1), usually in its descending form rather than ascending form.

Intervals: 2 1 3 1 2 1 2
Chords: Cm7/#11, Cdim7
th
The Romanian scale can be thought of as a Dorian mode with a raised 4 degree. It is often used in Klezmer Bulgarish
music and other Eastern Europe music styles. It has been used also by composers such as Bert Kaempfert (Sweet
Maria tune), Eric Satie (hence the alternate name Gnossiennes), and George Gershwin.

Chords: C7/b9/b13
The Phrygian Dominant scale can be found in jazz compositions by Charles Mingus (Ysabel’s Table Dance, Don’t Let It
Happen Here, The Black Saint and The Sinner Lady). It was used in classical music by Franz Liszt (B-minor Sonata,
closing bars).
25

Intervals: 2 2 2 2 2 2
Chords: Caug, C7/#5, Caug7/#11
The Whole-Tone scale is symmetrical and exist only two different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by
combining two augmented triads that are one whole tone apart (e.g. C-E-G# and D-F#-A#).
In classical music, the Whole-Tone scale has been used by Mozart (Musical Jokes for strings and horns), Liszt (Dante
Symphony), Berlioz, Schubert, Glinka (Ruslan and Lyudmila, overture), Borodin (Prince Igor), Rimsky-Korsakov (Sadko),
Debussy, Alan Berg (Violin Concert), Bartók (Fifth String Quartet), and Busoni.
This scale appears in many jazz compositions and improvisations, such as JuJu (Wayne Shorter), One Up, One Down
(John Coltrane). Art Tatum and Thelonious Monk have used this scale extensively. It appears in bar 3 and 4 of the
opening of You Are The Sunshine of My Life (Stevie Wonder).
28
Augmented

Alternate names: Major Augmented, Messiaen Truncated 3 Mode Inverse, Genus Tertium, Raga Devamani
Modes: Inverted Augmented (II)
Intervals: 3 1 3 1 3 1
Chords: Caug, Cmaj7/#5, C7/#5/#9
The Augmented scale is symmetrical and exist only four different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by
combining two augmented triads that are one half tone apart (e.g. C-E-G# and C#-F-A).
It made its first appearance in the work of Franz Liszt (Faust Symphony) and was used by Shostakovich (Second Piano
Trio, finale), Ginastera, Prado, Bartók, Babbit, and Schoenberg.
The scale has been extensively used in the late 50s and early 60s, by players such as Oliver Nelson (Stolen Moments),
John Coltrane, and Michael Brecker.

Modes: Diminished Half-tone (II)
Chords: Cdim7, Cdim7/9, Cdim9/#11
The Diminished scale is symmetrical and exist only three different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by
th
combining two diminished 7 chords that are one whole tone apart (e.g. C-Eb-F#-A and C#-E-G-Bb).
This scale has been extensively used in Western music, by composers such as Scalatti, Liszt (Feux Follets), Glinka
(Ruslan and Lyudmila), Rimsky-Korsakov (Kashchey the Immortal), Stravinsky (Petrushka, The Rite of Spring, Concert
for Piano and Wind Instruments), Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin, Bartók (Batagelles, Improvisations, Fourth Quartet, Cantata
Profana, Mikrokosmos 99, 101 and 109), Bloch, Khatchaturian, Messiaen, Milhaud, Poulenc, Prokofiev, Shostakovish.
The diminished scale is very frequently used in jazz composition and improvisation, in its both modes (see Diminished
Half-tone scale).
31
Diminished Half-tone
nd
Alternate names: Messiaen 2 Mode
Intervals: 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
Mode: mode II of Diminished scale (C Diminished Half-tone = Bb Diminished)
Chords: C7/b9, C7/#9, C7/#11
Together with the Altered scale, the Diminished Half-tone scale is the primary choice for altered dominant chord. As
such, it has been extensively used by virtually all bop and post-bop improvisers.
32
Chromatic
Intervals: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
The chromatic scale contains all 12 notes used in Western well-tempered music system. Even though in theory it is
possible to name 12 different chromatic scale, in practice there is only one of such scale.
The Chromatic scale is rarely used in its entirety in tonal or modal jazz, because it will sound as dissonant over virtually
any chord. However, fast chromatic phrases are often used to connect chordal or non-dissonant tones.
33
Tritone
Alternate names: Petrushka chord
Modes: Raga Neelangi (III)
Intervals: 1 3 2 1 3 2
Chords: Cm7
The Tritone scale is symmetrical and exist only six different versions of this scale. It can be obtained by combining two
major triads that are one tritone apart (e.g. C-E-G and Gb-Bb-Db).
This scale is enharmonically equivalent to the Petrushka chord, named after Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka.
34
Raga Neelangi
Mode: mode III of Tritone scale (C Neelangi = G# Tritone)
Intervals: 2 1 3 2 1 3
Chords: Cdim
Raga Neelangi is a symmetrical Indian raga, only six different versions of this scale exist. It can be obtained by
th
th
removing the 4 and 8 note of a Diminished scale.

Messiaen 2nd Mode Truncated
Intervals: 1 2 3 1 2 3
Chords: C7/#11, C7/b9/#9/#11
Messiaen modes are a family of scales compiled by French composer Olivier Messiaen e published in his book La
technique de mon langage musical (“The technique of my musical language”). These scales were also widely used by
rd
composer Tōru Takemitsu, especially the 3 Mode.
These scales are symmetrical and of limited transposition, that is, there exist fewer than 12 distinct scales; for
rd
example, only four distinct Messiaen 3 Mode scales exist, because the scales built on E and G# are identical and
contain the same notes as the scale built on C, the scales built on F and A are identical to the scale built on C#, etc.
The set of Messiaen scales includes all the limited transposition scales that can be built with the 12 notes of the
st
nd
tempered system. The Messiaen 1 Mode is more commonly known as the Whole-Tone scale, the Messiaen 2 Mode
is the same as the Dimished Half-tone scale.
Even more symmetrical scales can be obtained by “truncating”, that is, by dropping two or more notes from one of
rd
th
the more complete scales. Only 3 and 7 Modes are not truncated modes, and all others can be obtained from them:

The Major Pentatonic (or just Pentatonic) scale and its four modes are by far the most common 5-note scales in
Western music, including jazz and rock music. The absence of semitones in the scale encourages playing every note
without having to resolve to a chord tone. John Coltrane, Art Tatum, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock are just a few of
the jazz musicians who have massively used pentatonic scales in their compositions and improvisations.

The 11-note Algerian scale is peculiar is that it subdivides an 11 interval, instead of an octave. As its name suggests,
this scale is often used in Algerian, Berber, and North African music. The presence of two 3-semitones intervals
creates a sound that is often associated with Middle Eastern music. This scale was used by Jacques Ibert in his Escales
composition.
