About the C# lydian chord

A lydian chord is a major chord with an added sharp 11th (#11), giving it a bright, ethereal, and slightly exotic sound. The raised fourth avoids the clash that a natural 11th would create over a major chord. Lydian chords are popular in jazz, film scoring, and progressive music.
