Here is my answer about the theory.
There are several ways to find out what key your song is. One of the simplest ways would be by listening. If your song starts in C major, later has some other chords changes and in the end finishes in C major - it is obvious that the song tonality is C major. If you have a score or some kind of lead sheet of the song and there are no accidentals (sharps or flats), you will automatically know that the song is in C major or A minor (not talking about modes at this point). How to figure which of these two is only by hearing how it sounds and on what chord the song parts resolve most of the time. You asked why a song like this cannot be in any key of 7 notes from the scale. From this simple example you wouldn't say that the song is in Bm7b5 (Locrian mode) although those notes are notes from the C major scale. The song is still in C major. In the modern way of notation it is practice to write modal key signatures. By that I mean if your whole song melody is in F lydian, you would see 1 flat in the key signature which refers to F major. The same is if your song is in D dorian, you would write 1 flat at the begining of the score which also stands for D minor key. From here you can notice that you have 1 flat for the song in D minor where D dorian mode is present most of the time. That mode is the second mode of C major but you will still see 1 flat in the key signature which tells you that the song has got nothing to do with C major tonality even if the scale is the same. You mentioned you are fan of Iron Maiden. Most of their songs are in E aeolian mode. For the key signature of E aeolian melody you would write 1 sharp in their notation but of course you wouldn't think that the song is in G major but E minor. I hope you get the point from this but I would like to see some other comments on this. Muris could say a lot about this or some other theory master from GMC.

Welcome to GMC mate.
Emir and Jose pretty much said it nicely, key signature is basically a tonic of a major scale in classical notation, no matter what modes you use. The key tells mainly the harmony, so if you see C major like in your example there is only one and one only set of unique set of chords that is revolving around C note in C major key. What scales you will use on top of that usually is defined with a choice of chords. Basic chords (tritones) will have only three notes, and one of the definitions of a tritone is that it appears in different keys and chords. So for example when you have Cmajor and Eminor chord, their tritones can be found as I-III in C major and IV-VI in Gmajor, so this opens up 2 possibilities for different modes to be used. If you play Cmajor scale on top of it, it will sound Cmajor, if you play E minor scale it will sound Dmajor. So key is there as a guideline to tell musicians what chordal harmony to expect when reading a piece. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

You pretty much gotta know the sound of each mode to do that.
As you practise this, you will easily hear each mode. |
