Phrygian and Phrygian Dominant Music Modes

Phrygian scale

From Wikipedia: Phrygian mode is related to the modern natural minor musical mode, also known as the Aeolian mode: the Phrygian scale differs in its second scale degree, which is a semitone lower than that of the Aeolian. It begins on the third note of a major mode and retains the same key signature. In short, E Phrygian, a third up from C, has the same signature as the key of C, which is, no sharps and no flats.

Phrygian Dominant scale

From Wikipedia: In music, the altered Phrygian scale or Freygish scale (also spelled Fraigish), featuring an unusual key signature and a distinctive augmented second interval, is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, the fifth being the dominant. Also called the Phrygian dominant scale, harmonic minor perfect fifth below, dominant flat 2 flat 6 (in jazz), or simply the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale, it's constructed by raising the third of the Phrygian mode and occurs commonly in Jewish, Greek, Turkish, Arab, and Flamenco music.
