Boudouris explicitly writes that a slow tempo is to be used for this particular
version he wrote down. He also specifies that the chronos to be used is double (diplous)
as opposed to other pieces which he indicates they should be chanted in chronos
simple (haplous).
Notice the subtle but noticable interpretation of some petastai signs in the text.
Also notice that he doesn't follow exactly the analyseis recorded in Boudouris'
score. Finally notice that the co-chanter (Pringos) does small variations of analyseis
here and there without that destroying the coherence of the chant. The piece can
be chanted at various tempos (fast, slow) depending on the occasion/time in the
service.
Notice the overdone elxeis and the repetitiveness of interpretation. The mechanical
interpretation of analyseis which, however, are in concept the closest to what Boudouris
wrote down (see score above). Finally notice the identical performance style with
that of Angelopoulos' teacher choir, that of Simon Karas above. Compare the subtle
interpretation of petastai by Nafpliotis above with the over-simplified, rigid interpretation
here. The same or identical recordings can be found here [
