What It Is
The Ionian mode - whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. The default sound of Western tonal music. Notes: F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D#, E#.
How It Functions
Establishes a tonic-centered major key; every diatonic chord in the key is built from its seven degrees.
Mood & Character
Bright, happy, and resolved - the default 'positive' sound in Western music, and the emotional baseline every other scale's color gets compared against.
