Ukrainian Dorian scale

In music, the Ukrainian Dorian scale (Dorian ♯4 scale) or the Lydian ♭3 ♭7 scale is a modified minor scale with raised 4th and 6th degrees (when compared to the natural minor), often with a variable 4th degree. It has traditionally been common in the music of Eastern Europe, Southeast Europe, and the Mediterranean including Jewish, Greek, Ukrainian, and Romanian music. Because of its widespread use, this scale has been known by a variety of names including Altered Dorian, Hutsul mode and Mi Shebeirach. It is also closely related to the Nikriz pentachord found in Turkish or Arabic maqam systems. It is equivalent to the scale of the Indian raga Hemavati.

It is one of the two harmonic Dorian scales, the being is the Dorian ♭5 scale. Compared with the Dorian mode it has a raised 4th degree, notated relative to the major scale as:

1, 2, ♭3, ♯4, 5, 6, ♭7, 8
