Aeolian dominant scale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The Aeolian dominant scale is the fifth mode of the melodic minor scale. It is named such because its sound derives from having a dominant seventh chord on the tonic in the context of what is otherwise the Aeolian mode, and because it is on the fifth degree of the melodic minor scale. It often goes by other names, such as the Hindu scale, the Mixolydian 6, or 13, and Aeolian major.[1]
