Major Locrian scale "Harmonic Materials of Modern Music" devotes several pages to the major Locrian, or more precisely to its transpositional set class, a concept Hanson pioneered. He names this transpositional class the "seven-tone impure major second scale", and notes that the various modes of the major Locrian can all be defined as the whole tone scale with one additional note, and where that note occurs does not affect the transpositional class. He also notes that the scale has the property that every three-note chord possible in the twelve tone chromatic scale already appears in the major Locrian. Examples are given of the
Harmonic major scale Harmonic major scale In music theory, the harmonic major scale is a musical scale found in some music from the common practice era and now used occasionally, most often in jazz. It was named by Rimsky-Korsakov. In George Russell's "Lydian Chromatic Concept" it is the fifth mode (V) of the Lydian Diminished scale. It can be considered a major scale with the sixth degree lowered, Ionian 13, or the harmonic minor scale with the third degree raised. It may also be generated by reversing and rotating the succession of intervals in the harmonic minor scale. It contains the following chords,
