D Lydian Minor
D · E · F♯ · G♯ · A · B♭ · C
Combining a raised fourth with a flattened sixth and seventh, D Lydian Minor sets Lydian's bright top against a darker upper register. The clash between the raised fourth and the flat sixth is its whole character. A specialist dominant-chord colour in jazz and fusion, and an evocative one in film writing.
