Adonai malakh mode on D.
In music, the Adonai malakh scale is a musical mode used in Jewish music.
"Adonai malakh" ("God is King"), a line from Psalm 93, is set using the Adonai malakh scale at the close of the introduction to the Kabalat Shabat (Friday evening synagogue service).[2]
It may be constructed by lowering the submediant of the mixolydian mode.[3]
It adds flats as it goes higher, and its pitch set is similar to the Persian Dastgāh-e Māhur and Russian Obikhod scale.
