Summary

Description
English: Musical scale called "Ishartum" by Lou Harrison, often called the "Flamenco mode", in Pythagorean tuning on E, as follows:
  • (by fifths) F-, C-, G-, D-, A, E, B (F+, C+, G+, and D+), or
  • (in order) E (1/1), F- (256/243), G- (32/27), A (4/3), B (3/2), C- (128/81), D (16/9), E (2/1), with G+ being 81/64 and D#+ being 729/512.
The final F- has an augmented sixth chord, B7b5/F (B D# F A), which resolves to a major chord that touches on the minor third.

Scales, consisting of an ordering outside of time by pitch class (no "distinctiveness"), may be used in compositions by multiple composers ("common material"), and may not be readily apparent in compositions.
