The Simonokaraïtiki psaltopathetic « worse than avian » INFLUENZA PANDEMIC is spreading VERY quickly, not only via classical editions of those who cannot defend themselves because theyre no longer in life, but also in via editions of books of those who completely rejected the Karas theories and interpretations, such as Iakovos Nafpliotis and his followers, of whom Constantinos Pringos was an Antaxios = worthy » student :

Iakovos Nafpliotis :  Karas is a « Logios » = well-educated.. ; thiasiotis = fan of the psaltic art, EAN KAI DEN GNORIZEI autin = even though he is NOT familiar with it (brought to us by Angelos Boudouris in his 18-volume transcriptions of this great teacher).


So as
help vaccinate those who are CONSTANTLY bombarded with this schools psaltoCIDAL (as concerns traditional psaltic « ears ») interpretations (faltso from A TO Z...), Im trying my best to record the Anastasimatarion of Pringos as QUICKLY as possible.

I don
t really have the time to scan the 1952 edition.  If someone can do so, the ENTIRE world will be grateful, because the new edition contains « hyphesis and diesis » = the usual added garbage one can find in ANY decent manuscript this school has put their hands on...


Help vaccinate... and also do your best to help DECONTAMINATE the Hellenic genos (as for the rest of the world , I dont really care.. they might really enjoy sissy singing, and that is a fundamental right... however, messing TRADITION by using the label « TRADITION » is a complete LIE and SACRILEGE.


There are many Hellenic syntactical errors in my
homelies.and comments:  someday, Ill put all this in corrected, written form..; for the time being, just try to go to the ESSENCE of all Im sharing with you.


Every time I complete a service, I will be adding it to the list below.


The classification logic is as follows :

Mode 01 to 08
001 = Comments/Scales +/- parallagi
002 = Parallagi
003 = Vespers
005 = Orthros

Orthr_Eothin O_x ==Eothinons

In the above « Epi ton Potamon », GKM  was aked to provide something "soft", so as not to have people running out of the concert.

I blended in:

SLOW TEMPO, whcih is the way is should be, instead of the "high speed performances"...

parestigmenon analyseis, but with minimal flunctations around a polarised note, unlike what I'd really chant according to Patriarchikon hyphos.

lower volume than usual.

Less attack and vowel explosion.


Now, all this is allowed in tradition...  So, where did we go wrong?


No one was able to sustain my chronos and slow tempo... they were all "speeding up" =="trechousin", and I had to "catch up" so as to "slow down"...   Many times, I am preceeded, and I have to "make up for the error"... this led to  highly IRREGULAR LOSSES in TEMPO.  This is fatal in a chant with softened attacks, because tempo regularity is even more important.

The intervals are more or less correct, but Kato Pa , Bou, Di , Ke and Ano Pa are sometimes low (diatonic).  The kliton isn't satisfactory, because the Bou equivalent is low (the Ga equivalent was performed differently andmy  voice,was  covered by a ven lowern note  (which is EXACTLY where it was int he first place, without fthora)..

The monophonarios is of exceptional quality, but the hyphos isn't exactly patriarchal.

The Rumanians doing isson had already extenuated because they could not understand "progressive" isson changes vs "mechanical" changes.

All in all, the onely interesting element here is the isson « orchestration »

We might say that it boils down to "Solemnisation" because of lack of chronos.  However the melisms are decent, and one may use this + the isson and, using much better chronos, may come up with a very beautiful interpretation of this piece.

After this experience, I finally understood that exceptionally talented psaltis do not suffice to bring out all of hyphos..

Ever since, I started working and recording alone because NO ONE listens, and that NO ONE is eithe willing or even  CAPABLE of doing as I ask (except for my friend Nicolaos Pantelopoulos, with whom there is excellent psaltic "osmosis").



Never again will I direct a group.....  just myself.. and I will therefore have no excuses for anything bad...


I'll try doing a full version here at home (including the kratema).
