About the A Hybrid Hexachord scale
A Hybrid Hexachord is used for experimental and cinematic writing. Think of it as a six-note scale that mixes a flat second with a raised fifth.
Its notes are A, B♭, C♯, D, E♯, and F♯. The formula is H 1½ H 1½ H 1½.
Also called Ode to Napoleon Hexachord and Six-Tone Symmetrical.
A Hybrid Hexachord uses three black keys on the piano, B♭, C♯, and F♯.
