Σχόλια του Γ. Μιχαλάκη / G. K. Michalakis' comments
Stanitsas.
Ne-Ne not large enough (Ni too high). Almost all of his Nis are quite
high. Ga is beutiful. Zo high in "
tis
deiseos mou"(and Ni as well). Too many acrobatics, nothing to do with
Iakovos... NO stability. "
Oti Para soi"... beautiful
NI, finally.... "
epidHHHmeian",
Ni = high... (Ni = high = occidental)
Sfikas: Upgoing Bou too high.
Ga unstable. Ni high, yet Zo quite low in the
end... Not a good example to learn Parallagi from...
Basilikos: Ne Ne occidental. Yet, just
right after, Ni = good ..Zo low... (standard, like Pringos). Second Zo
not as low, but not high . His Ni in the melody is EXCELLENT
vs. his apechema..
Taliadoros: Ni not too low,
and Zo high ... yet , in eisakousOOOn mou, ±low Zo... later on, Ni get
better. "
TIIIIIs
deiseos mou", same as in the beginning.. Ni a bit high, Zo not
too low... Cacophony from helper, and unstable intervals throughout...
Ni - Pa beautful. Zo low. Nice DI hyphesis (not too low, NEVER too
low). Stability on Ga, which is NOT occidental . Later on, Zo
even lower.
Dositheos monk: The prototype
of interval STABILITY... Zo is always low. All the rest
of the intervals are beautiful... Listen to the beautiful DI
hyphesis... not too low, not too high, just where is should be.
Zoe Choir: Initial Ni not low
enough. Zo low (but not too low)
initially, yet a bit higher later, even in the conclusive line.
(= occidental Ni zo) . DI hyphesis not too low either
(=GOOD). "
thymiamAAA"(high Zo). DI usually a bit high on the returns from Ni. Ni eventually
fixes up to psaltic standards.
Chariatidis: Stable over all.
Ni-Pa == large, good,; Zo low... Nice, serious,
psaltiki.
G. K. Michalakis:
Parrallagi
Ioanni's version:
Chronos: Of the "kata rhythmon" type,
but exaggeratedly so, and must not serve as an example.
First
Zo low. Second Zo just a bit high. Third =
good. Fourth = perhaps a bit high...
DI changes on
the coming back down from analyseis (almost always a bit high).
Melos Ioannis
version:
"eisakouson
mou"... good, low Zo.
Second "eisakouson
mou", with ending on Zo = high
"tIIIIS
deiseos mou" == Zo = high
"ThymiamAAA",
Zo not too high, not too low.
Then, when
doing it freely:
No Zo on "PrOOOOs
se"...
"Eisakouson
mou".. nice low Zo .
"Eisakouson
mOUOUOU". not too high, not too low
Passages from
high Ni with analysis going to high Pa == high Pa a bit flat,
because of vocal limitations (normally, a good psaltis should know the
vocal
limits not only of "good" days bas of "bad ones as well..
I over-estimated my vocal potential that
day...)
Syneptigmenos:
First low Zo
== low...
"Eisakouson
mOUOUOU": Zo not too high, not too low.
"TIIIIIS
deiseos mou": Zo not too high, not too low.
Notice how "proseuchi
mou" becomes almost second mode, whith
high Ni, close to Pa
Damarlakis: Takes "tweezers" to
chant this.... first Zo low..second and thrid Zo =
nice and low. Third = Zo = low
He's really VERY careful with "
kekragenai
me pros se".. I don't understand why... Zo stable. Ke not
always psaltic (the usual Pathology).
Kalambakas' choir: Nice
Ni-Pa... Ni-Pa-Zo then becomes occidental. The second one = Nitoo
high, but zo Low. Ibid for the Zo conclusion.. Nice Ni-Pas in "
Kateuthinthito",
except in "
PrOOOOOseuchi mou".
Then becomes good aGain.
Overall, I wasn't too displeased.
Konstantinos
Katsoulis: Notice how
the Di hyphesis (flat) is much lower in
the melody versus the Parallagi, where is EXACTLY where it
should
be. Overall, this hyphesis is not a
just a frequency change sign, but indicates as well (and more
importantly so) a
WAY of "pronouncing" this musical line. Katsoulis,
of course, has excellent
pronunciation and very good chronos and enGagement into tempo (lipsis
chronou).
Metr. Elias Qurban: Notice how Ni-Pa isn’t quite large (most
Arabs, however, do a nice, large
Ni-Pa).
