Aeolian mode is easy, because it conforms to the standard minor key signature for any tonic. Example: For A, no key signature. For C, three flats (B-flat, E-flat, A-flat). For F, four flats (the above and D-flat). For E, one sharp (F-sharp). It works for any tonic. In other modes, it's not always so simple. You have to figure out which chromatics (black-keys) are involved in the mode on a given tonic, and figure it in from there. Sometimes there's no way to do it cleanly with a key signature, and you just have to add accidentals as needed. Hope that helps.

This is a Concert Band arrangement of Chopin's "Military Polonaise" or Polonaise in A Major, Op. 40 for piano. Almost all the repeats in the original are written out and orchestrated slightly differently each time. Comments and performance opportunities Military Polonaise
