The Lydian mode is a musical mode or diatonic scale. It may be considered a major scale with the fourth scale degree of the scale is sharpened or raised. This was one of the ancient mediaeval modes, and dates from the church music of the 9th Century.
A Lydian scale based on the note C consists of the notes C D E F# G A and B. Alternatively, if we start on the note F, the scale consists of the notes F G A B C D E. This scale can be played on the white notes of a piano without the use of any sharps or flats (black keys) only if started on the note F (F G A B C D E).
