What scale is this?

Hey, boys and girls. Do any of you happen to know what scale this is?

C Db Eb F G A Bb C

I was studying a part and determined that this is the scale it's written in. It sounds very familiar to me, but unfortunately I can't google on a sequence of notes.

basically a phrygian scale without a lowered sixth..don't know that there is a particular name for it

C Db Eb F G A Bb C

It's the second mode of the ascending melodic minor.

I call it "Dorian, b2", but I have seen it called "Phrygian, #6"

...

Thank you very much. Gosh, that was quick!

I'm still rather new to the world of modal music. :blush:

Wow, a new scale to use. Thanks for posting that, MidiKareshi!

Hey, that's exactly how I'm feeling. I can't wait to put this baby to use! :toothygrin:

/me looks it up in "Jazzology"

Sorry, it ain't new.

Javanese Scale: C, Db, Eb, F, G, A, Bb, C

Sorry, it ain't new.

Javanese Scale: C, Db, Eb, F, G, A, Bb, C

It is to me. :)

So it's also known as the Javanese Scale. Why is it called that? Did it really originate in Java?

I have no idea. But it's in the book.

I would assume it approximates slendro scale, which is a 7-note scale. On the other hand, robin's terminology is significantly more clear.

Can we just abolish named scales?
