Regarding the phrase "they stood boldly," which I changed - I encountered a piece of music last night, which I think uses the kind of modal transition which I did.
In the Doxastikon for St. Sophia, I used a transition which has been discussed previously in this topic. Namely, the piece had a martyria of ke, from which the melody begins. The melody proceeded as follows:
ke _ they
di-ke _ stood
zo-ni-zo-ke _ bold -
di - ly
In Mousiki Kypseli, Volume III, we find on p. 105, the Aposticha Doxastikon of Sts. Eustratios, Auxentios. Eugenios, Mardarios, and Orestos.
On the fifth line of the piece, we find the following melody:
di - ke_ Ευ
zo-ni_ γε
zo-ke_ νι
di_ ε
Except for the petaste at the beginning of the melody in my composition, this is essentially the same melodic line. The same can be said for the melody found only one line below the one I have just mentioned; it occurs on the words "και ένδοξε".
Is this identical to what I have done, except for the petaste? Or am I missing a difference here? Please correct me if I am wrong.
In Christ,
Gabriel
EDIT: I have attached a jpg of the piece in question.
