Since so many people graciously and patiently answered my novice questions in the past, I'm seeking clarification on another issue. I live in a community with maybe ten total Greek speaking parishioners and no one has formal training in byzantine music. So the help from you guys is all I have and is greatly appreciated!
In this picture in the part I circled, I noticed a μεταβολή κάτα τόνο . So, the παραλλαγή changes to Δι on the hard chromatic scale but at the pitch of Γα. In the phrase until the next μεταβολή, the melody goes from Δι to Κε, which is 12 μόρια. If there was no change at all, and it stayed on the soft chromatic scale, wouldn't it be the exact same thing, 12 μόρια from the pitch of Γα? I'm sure I'm missing something... Why is this μεταβολή here?
Thanks so much!
