Doble escala

armónica

En música , la escala mayor de doble

armónico [1] es una escala cuyas brechas
pueden sonar desconocidas para los
oyentes occidentales. Esto también se
conoce como Mayamalavagowla , Bhairav
Raga , escala bizantina , árabe (Hijaz Kar),
[1] [2] y gitano mayor . [3] Se puede
comparar a una escala gitana debido al
paso aumentado entre los grados 2 y 3. La
escala árabe también puede referirse a
cualquier modo árabe, el más simple de
los cuales, sin embargo, para los
occidentales, se asemeja a la escala
mayor de doble armónico. [4]

Or, in relation to the tonic note

minor second, major third, perfect fourth

and fifth, minor sixth, major seventh

However, this scale is commonly

represented with the first and last half step
each being represented with quarter tones:
The non-quarter tone form is identical to
the North Indian Thaat named Bhairav and
the South Indian (Carnatic) Melakarta
named Mayamalavagowla.

The double harmonic scale is arrived at by

either:

raising the seventh of the Phrygian

dominant scale, (a mode of the
harmonic minor scale), by a semitone.
raising the seventh and third of the
Phrygian mode, (a mode of the major
 scale), by a semitone.
lowering both the sixth and second of a
major scale by a semitone.
lowering the second note of a harmonic
major scale by a semitone.
lowering the second note and raising the
third note of the harmonic minor scale
by one semitone.
combining the lower half of Phrygian
dominant scale with the upper half of
harmonic minor.[1]

It is referred to as the "double harmonic"

scale because it contains two harmonic
tetrads featuring augmented seconds. By
contrast, both the harmonic major and
harmonic minor scales contain only one
augmented second, located between their
sixth and seventh degrees.

The double harmonic scale is not

commonly used in classical music from
Western culture, as it does not closely
follow any of the basic musical modes, nor
is it easily derived from them. It also does
not easily fit into common Western chord
progressions such as the authentic
cadence. This is because it is mostly used
as a modal scale, not intended for much
movement through chord progressions.

The Arabic scale (in the key of E) was used

in Nikolas Roubanis's "Misirlou", and in the
Bacchanale from the opera Samson and
Delilah by Saint-Saëns. Claude Debussy
used the scale in "Soirée dans Grenade",
"La Puerta del Vino", and "Sérénade
interrompue" to evoke Spanish flamenco
music or Moorish heritage.[5] In popular
music, Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple
and Rainbow used the scale in pieces
such as "Gates of Babylon" and
"Stargazer".[6][7] The Miles Davis jazz
standard "Nardis" also makes use of the
double harmonic.

Simetría y equilibrio
The double harmonic scale features radial
symmetry, or symmetry around its root, or
center note. Breaking up the three note
chromaticism and removing this symmetry
by sharpening the 2nd or flattening the 7th
note respectively by one semitone yields
the harmonic major and Phrygian
Dominant mode of the harmonic minor
scales respectively, each of which, unlike
the double harmonic minor scale, has a
full diminished chord backbone.

This scale (and its modes like the

Hungarian minor scale) is the only seven-
note scale (in 12-tone equal temperament)
that is perfectly balanced; this means that
when its pitches are represented as points
on a circle (whose full circumference
represents an octave), their average
position (or "centre of mass") is the centre
of the circle.[8]

Modos
Like most heptatonic (seven-pitch) scales,
the double harmonic scale has a mode for
each of its individual scale degrees. The
most commonly known of these modes is
the 4th mode, the Hungarian minor scale,
most similar to the harmonic minor scale
with a raised 4th degree. The modes are
as follows:[9]

Mode Name of scale Degrees

1 Double harmonic major 1 ♭2 3 4 5 ♭6 7 8

2 Lydian ♯2 ♯6 1 ♯2 3 ♯4 5 ♯6 7 8

3 Ultraphrygian 1 ♭2 ♭3 ♭4 5 ♭6 7 8

4 Hungarian/Gypsy minor 1 2 ♭3 ♯4 5 ♭6 7 8

5 Oriental 1 ♭2 3 4 ♭5 6 ♭7 8

6 Ionian ♯2 ♯5 1 ♯2 3 4 ♯5 6 7 8

7 Locrian 3 7 1 ♭2 3 4 ♭5 ♭6 7 8
Relación con el mayor frigio
The nearest other existing scale to the
double harmonic major scale is the
Phrygian dominant scale, the fifth mode of
the harmonic minor scale, as they are alike
save for the Phrygian dominant's flattened
seventh degree.
