What is meant by the Dorian key signature?

A Dorian key signature is an earlier style of key signature used on pieces in minor keys. A good example is J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 538, that was notated with a key signature of zero flats rather than the one flat of a contemporary key signature notation for D Minor. The Dorian mode is a mode of the major scale built off of the second scale degree of a major scale and, therefore, a Dorian key signature for D Minor would be the signature for the major scale a whole step below: C Major...therefore zero flats. The D Dorian scale is spelled D, E, F, G, A, B, C and therefore shares the same key signature as C Major in this older notational system. It is now customary within the western tonal system to relate minor keys to the key signature of the major key found a minor third above. D Minor is now written with one flat, the key signature of F Major. Today the "natural minor" scale or Aeolian mode (the mode built off the 6th scale degree of major) is the common reference point for a minor key's key signature.

What is are modes in music?

A mode is a type of scale in music. Major and minor are modes, for instance. The classical modes are derived from the piano. By playing only on the white keys of a piano from middle C to high C, a major scale is played. However, if you start on an A below middle C, and play a scale up to the next A still only playing on white keys, you play a minor scale. Here are all seven classical modes: C to C: Ionian (Major) D to D: Dorian E to E: Phrygian F to F: Lydian G to G: Mixolydian A to A: Aeolian (Minor) B to B: Locrian
