What is the Lydian scale?

Lydian is the fourth mode of the major scale — a major scale with a raised fourth. The raised fourth removes the pull of the perfect fourth and leaves a floating, open sound used constantly in film scoring.

F♯ Lydian uses the same notes as C♯ Majör, started from degree 4 instead of the first. The notes are shared; the tonic, and therefore the sound, is not.

F♯ Lydian is a scale, not a key. It has no key signature of its own — music that uses it is normally written in the key signature of its parent scale, with any extra accidentals added as they occur.
