Spanish scale

The Spanish scale (also the Jewish scale) is commonly used in Hebrew prayers and in Spanish music.

It is constructed by:

• Raising the third of the Phrygian scale (the third mode)
• Lowering the second, sixth, and seventh of a Major scale

Series of intervals:

H -3 H W H W W

H = Half Step

W = Whole Step

-3 = Minor third or three half steps

Example:

C Db E F G Ab Bb C
