The modern musical modes consist of seven different scales related to the familiar major and minor keys, each with different properties and characteristics which distinguish them from one another. Called the Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian modes, each of these seven modal scales is composed of a particular arrangement of the diatonic tones of an octave. Each mode has a characteristic scale degree and certain harmonic structures that give each its distinctive sound. Although the names are Greek-sounding, the tone sequences are different from Greek modes with similar names. The Ionian mode has a V7 chord, and is the only mode where the V7 occurs naturally. Without further clarification, "major mode" or just "major" refers to the Ionian mode. Most common songs, including such simple classics as "Happy Birthday to You" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," are in the Ionian mode.
