Tonality
Tonality is the organized relationship of tones in music. This relationship - as far as the COMMON PRACTICE of composers in the 18th and 19th Centuries was concerned -implies a central TONE [KEY TONE] with which all other tones support or create movement toward it.
Modality refers to the choice of tones between which this relationship exists. In addition to Major, Minor, & Chromatic scales, a large number of MODES can be constructed in any given TONALITY.
Our Western System is a Major-Minor System and we tend to interpret music based on other MODES as being either major or minor - - - usually with unsatisfactory results.
NB When you deal with the music terminology you must keep in mind it describes sounds individually or as groups of individual tones manipulated as blocks [melody and chords] There are other musical terminology’s which deal with each of the elements of music - Rhythm, Texture etc. but they are still concerned with describing sounds - or silences - and how they are manipulated over time.
