Music theory question.

[the_beastly_one]

Right:

I have a melody here, which uses the notes A, G#, F#, C# and D, and I'm having trouble working out which chords to put behind this.

It sounds quite minor, and from what I gather, it could fit into the key of D, with a flattened 5th, but I know this isn't the one I'm looking for.

Can anyone help, even if only suggesting a key?

I'm finishing on quite a heavily altered scale aswell that I'm not too sure about - it goes: B, A, G#, F#, F, D, C#, B.

The answers are probably staring me in the face, but logic isn't really my strongpoint.

Thanks.

In theory you could use all of these:

Amaj

Bmin

C#min

Dmaj

Emaj

F#min

But you might need to alter certain notes (start or end ones most likely) of the melody to fit with the chord changes. I would put it as the key of D Lydian.

Investigate F#m.
