Technically, the Ionian mode would be considered the major scale, as it is based off of the tonic note. However, it can be minor too.
7 note scale. Any mode of major scale with no chromatic alterations
That would be called an A minor "Gypsy Scale" (although the term "Gypsy Scale" is often applied to several different scales found in Gypsy music). It is a synthetic mode created by raising the fourth degree of the natural minor scale. It is quite likely that the seventh degree will be raised at times, also, which turns it into a minor mode of the double harmonic major scale.
major mode
No. The mode of A Dorian uses the same key signature as G major, so the only sharp note is F.
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.
A major scale can also be known as the ionian mode.
The major scale is in the Ionian mode.
Yes, the Ionian mode is the same as the major scale.
I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but by playing a scale, starting on the sixth degree in a major scale (also called aeolian mode), you will essentially be playing a natural minor scale. Specifically, the relative minor.
The mode scale degrees of the Dorian mode in the key of C major are: 1, 2, b3, 4, 5, 6, b7.
7 note scale. Any mode of major scale with no chromatic alterations
The third in a B-flat scale is D.
The minor scale mode is related to its corresponding major scale because they share the same key signature. The minor scale starts on the sixth note of the major scale, creating a different sound and mood while still using the same notes.
D natural
The Dorian mode begins on the second note of a major scale.
The G Mixolydian scale has an F Natural in it, while the G Ionian (Major) scale has an F Sharp.
The scale of "Leron Leron Sinta" is based on the traditional Filipino folk music scale known as the "Lydian mode." This scale is characterized by a raised fourth scale degree, giving it a unique and distinctive sound. In Western music notation, this scale can be represented as C-D-E-F#-G-A-B-C.
