==Prometheus scale== {{Main|Mystic chord}} The Prometheus scale is so called because of its prominent use in [[Alexander Scriabin]]'s [[symphonic poem]] ''[[Prometheus: The Poem of Fire]]''. Scriabin himself called this set of pitches, voiced as the simultaneity (in ascending order) C F{{music|sharp}} B{{music|flat}} E A D the "[[mystic chord]]". Others have referred to it as the "Promethean chord". It may be thought of as C Lydian-Mixolydian. It can also be though as a triad pair: a minor triad and an augmented triad 1/2 step up. For example, A minor triad and B flat augmented triad. : <score sound="1"> { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t \tempo 1 = 120 \relative c' { \cadenzaOn c1 d e fis a bes \bar "|" c } } </score>
