The Algerian Scale is a scale frequently used in Algerian, Berber, and North African music. The frequent use of 1.5 steps (a minor 3rd) in the scale contributes to a sound commonly associated with Moorish music.

It is also defined as an eleven note scale with two augmented seconds. Jacques Ibert first used this definition in Escales (1924).^[3]

Scale formula

In step notation:

W, H, WH, H, H, WH, H
W = Whole step
H = Half step
WH = Whole-and-a-half step

or in decimals:

1 step + 0.5 step + 1.5 step + 0.5 step + 0.5 step + 1.5 step + 0.5 step.

This formula gives the first octave only. In the second octave, the third step is 1 rather than 1.5, followed by a step of 1 rather than 0.5. This may be seen in image to the right. The lower octave shows an F{{sharp}} while the upper octave shows an F natural.

This can also be notated as degrees in relation to the root note:

First octave: 1 2 {{music|b}}3 {{music|#}}4 5 {{music|b}}6 7 8
Second octave: 1 2 {{music|b}}3 4 5 {{music|b}}6 7 8

It can also be thought of as Harmonic Minor with a raised 4 in the first octave.
