While <a href="https://interactivechordfinder.com/articles/2026041601-c-major-scale/">C major</a> is the reference point for Western music theory, C Lydian raises just one note — the 4th degree — from F to F♯. That single alteration transforms the sound from bright and resolved to bright and floating, with an ethereal quality that composers reach for when they want wonder without darkness. C Lydian is the fourth mode of <a href="https://interactivechordfinder.com/articles/2026041602-g-major-scale/">G major</a>, meaning it contains exactly the same notes as G major but treats C as the tonal centre.</p>
