The Algerian Scale is a scale which is frequently found in Algerian, Arab, Berber, and North African music. The frequent use of 1.5 steps in the scale helps create a sound which is commonly associated with Middle Eastern music.
It is also defined as an eleven note scale containing two augmented seconds. This was used by Jacques Ibert in Escales (1924).[3]
Scale formula
1 step + 0.5 step + 1.5 step + 0.5 step + 0.5 step + 1.5 step + 0.5 step.
