D major

D major is a major scale based on D, consisting of the pitches D, E, F♯, G, A, B, and C♯. Its key signature has two sharps. Its relative minor is B minor and its parallel minor is D minor.

The D major scale is:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative b { \key d \major \omit Score.TimeSignature d^"D natural major scale" e fis g a b cis d cis b a g fis e d2 \clef F \key d \major } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The D harmonic major and melodic major scales are:

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative b { \key d \major \omit Score.TimeSignature d^"D harmonic major scale" e fis g a bes cis d cis bes! a g fis e d2 } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$

$\header { tagline = ##f } scale = elative b { \key d \major \omit Score.TimeSignature d^"D melodic major scale" e fis g a b cis d c bes a g fis e d2 } \score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }$
