Eustathios Makris Byzantine Modes in Greek Traditional Music. Some Remarks on the Rizitika Songs
115
melodies are imitated6. Therefore we need to shift the subject to a second level, to a more abstractive
definition of echos.
Chrysanthos is once again our starting point, since he was the first in the history of Byzantine music
to codify the melodic attributes of the modes, by defining their components (systatik): the apechema
(intonation formula), the scale, the dominant tones and the ending tones (medial and final)7. The apechemata
of the eight echoi, with their characteristic syllabic formulas, cannot find direct application to the traditional
music, although certain analogous phenomena can be observed here and there8. The scale, taking its shape
according to the genos (diatonic, chromatic or enharmonic), the systema (tetrachordal, pentachordal or
octachordal) and the basis or ison (tonic) that is in use for each echos, is the most evident characteristic, on
the basis of which an identification with tropos and echos is often attempted. Given, however, on the one
hand that certain scales are used by more than one echoi, on the other hand that many demotic songs show a
very limited melodic ambitus, not allowing for the formation of a complete scale, we have to search mainly
in the remaining two components, which are closely connected with each other. The dominant tones
(despozontes phthongoi) function as fixed points, around which the melody moves, being in some measure
similar to the Western tenores; the melodic cadences (katalexeis) from the other side, medial or final, lead in
most cases to dominant tones, and this fact can help in determining the dominant tones when analyzing a
melody, for the ending tones can be easier located.
It is usual, however, to overlook the fact that these components, especially the last two, are not
independent of the historical development of the ecclesiastical chant. Comparing the repertoire of the
Byzantine period with the one currently used in the Greek orthodox churches, one realizes the existence of
significant changes in the dominant tones, in the cadences, but also in the ambitus of the melody, a very
important characteristic, which is practically ignored by Chrysanthos9. (It is impossible to make comparisons
regarding the scales and their intervals, since we have no concrete evidence from the time before
Chrysanthos). The continuous evolution of the melodic material from the 16th century onwards, which led to
the crystallization of a totally new repertoire in the last quarter of the 18th century, brought also changes to
the modes, as they appear in each one of the three chant species (heirmological, sticherarical and papadical,
deriving from the books Heirmologion, Sticherarion and Papadik respectively). It should be noted that the
differentiation of each mode according to the chant species and the formation of corresponding branches of
the modes (e.g. 1st echos, heirmological), as is the case in later repertoires, cannot be traced back to the
theory and practice of the Byzantine period.
It is necessary to take all these facts into consideration, especially when studying a traditional
repertoire with a long history, like the Rizitika songs. Originating from the villages of Riza, i.e. the
northern foot of the White Mountains in western Crete, these songs were handed down to us as a separate
species of Cretan music, almost closed to external influences. They correspond to a corpus of forty melodic
types (tunes) at most, to which many more texts are adapted, something like the prosomoia technique in the
ecclesiastical music. Samuel Baud-Bovy established important structural affinities between the Rizitika
and the songs recorded in Athonitic musical manuscripts from the 17th century10. Apart from this, the
Rizitika songs bear a noteworthy exterior resemblance to ecclesiastical music: they are sung only by men,
they are characterized by rhythmical freedom, not being connected to dancing forms, and they are mainly
vocal, since the inhabitants of the Riza did not use to play instruments (nevertheless, they used to invite
musicians from other places to their feasts)11.

Using certain examples of Rizitika songs, we will show now how a diachronic approach to the
eight-modes-system (oktoechia) can resolve some problems of classification. The songs were transcribed
into staff notation by the Swiss musicologist Samuel Baud-Bovy (1906-1986) in his Chansons populaires de
Crte occidentale (Geneva 1972), on the basis of sound recordings made in the field from 1930 and 1954.
These transcriptions are then compared, regarding the modality, with the existing publications of each song
in Byzantine notation. The differences in the melodic line, which can be observed from edition to edition, are
not of interest here, provided that the skeleton of the melody remains the same.
Our first example (Ex. 1)12 belongs to the songs of tavla (table)13 and has its place at the
beginning of Cretan banquets14. Baud-Bovy notes that the almost ritual character of the song explains the
remarkable homogeneity of its melodic tradition15. In the specific recording, which dates from 1954, each
stanza is performed by a singer and repeated by a group of two other singers. The melody belongs to the
diatonic genos and moves within a 6th (G-e). It can be divided into four phrases [e.g. in the first stanza: i)
, ii) , , iii) ; , iv) -
-, ]; the first three of them end on G, the last one on a. Except these two
tones, c and d can also be considered as dominant ones. In the last phrase, where the tone a tends to establish
itself as tonal centre, we see the typical attraction (elxis) of the second degree to the tonic, which is
characteristic for the d- and a-modes16 and effects the flattening of b. In the repetition of the stanza the final
cadence is coloured by sharpening c, so that the chromatic tetrachord a-b flat-c sharp-d is formed. This
alteration is not very clear in the other two stanzas recorded by Baud-Bovy, but is quite evident in the
transcriptions by K. Psachos and S. Karas (see below).
Baud-Bovy indicates the final tone a as the tonic of the scale. Psachos classifies the song into the 1st
plagal echos of the Heirmologion, that is also from a (Ke in the Chrysanthine system), making medial
cadences on G (Ex. 2)17. The problem is that the particular branch of the 1st plagal echos, although having
a and c as dominant tones, is in no case characterized by medial cadences on G. Karas, on the contrary,
considers G (Dhi) as tonic, perhaps because of the repeated cadences on this tone, notating the song in the 4th
echos of the Papadik, the so called Agia (Ex. 3)18. Nevertheless, neither the final cadence on a19, nor the
dominant tone c appertains normally to this echos. The solution of the problem lies probably back in the past,
since the modal attributes we are looking for can be found in melodies of the 1st plagal echos from the
Byzantine period.
The example we use for comparison is the Heirmos of the 1st Ode of a Kanon by Sykeotes for the
feast of St. Anastasius, from a Heirmologion of the 12th c. (Cod. 470 of the Iviron monastery on Mount
Athos), as it was published in the series Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae (Ex. 4)20. [Apart from any
objections that one can have regarding the treatment of rhythm, the use of signs of expression or other
matters, the transcriptions in the Monumenta are a particularly useful tool for the study of the older modal
attributes]. The melody is transcribed from D, that is the natural basis of the 1st plagal echos, and it moves
mainly within a 6th (C-a, corresponding to G-e of the song), ending medially on C and D, finally on D. To be
more precise, the first three musical phrases ( -
- ) end on C, the fourth phrase ( )
on D. [This scheme is coincidentally the same with the scheme G-G-G-a of the song]. The remaining two
phrases ( - ) end on D. Except C and D, the tones F
and G can also be considered as dominant ones.

Eustathios Makris Byzantine Modes in Greek Traditional Music. Some Remarks on the Rizitika Songs
117
It is obvious that the ambitus, the dominant and ending tones of this chant are almost identical with
those of our song, if they are transposed a 5th higher. Melodies with such characteristics make their
appearance quite often in the old repertoire of the 1st plagal echos. There are, of course, also cases, where the
melody shows a wider ambitus or/and the dominant tones F and G have a stronger presence. But this may
not keep us from considering the classification of the specific song into the 1st plagal mode as the most
satisfactory one. It seems that K. Psachos came quite close to the truth, although D would be a more adequate
basis for his transcription, since a refers the reader to a younger branch of the mode.
Our next example (Ex. 5)21 belongs to the Rizitika songs of strata (road, way), that is walking
songs, connected mainly to nuptial customs and based on one and only melodic type, with several variations.
In this particular recording from 1930 the song is performed by a singer with lyra (played by himself) and
sandouri accompaniment22. Like in the previous song, the melody moves diatonically within a 6th (G-e),
while the musical phrases are once again four [in the first stanza: i) -, -, ii) -
, , , iii) -, , , , iv) - -,
]. The first phrase ends on a, yet the singer does not pause at this point, but a little later, at the beginning
of the second phrase, making something like a half-cadence on d. The next two phrases end also on a, the
last one on G. Dominant tones: a, d, perhaps c.
Baud-Bovy marks both ending tones (a, G) as tonal centres and talks about modal ambiguity
(ambigut modale), also because of the following fact: In other versions of the same tune, recorded by the
Swiss musicologist in his book, the singers tend to make a slight glissando towards G, whenever a phrase
ends on a23. The tonal stability in the medial cadences, which is shown by the singer in our example, is
probably due to the harmonic accompaniment of the sandouri, which insists on the a minor chord. A similar
case of modality was also observed by George Amargianakis in other wedding songs from Crete24. K.
Psachos regards a as tonic, transcribes however the melody a 5th lower, from D or Pa (1st echos), perhaps
because the strong presence of a dominant tone a 4th above the basis (Baud-Bovy: d, Psachos: G) reminds of
the 1st echos of the Heirmologion (Ex. 6)25. The choice of a (or D) as tonic is justified also by the appearance
of the already mentioned attraction of the second degree (b) in Baud-Bovys recording. Still, we may
notice that the final cadence leads to the sub-tonic (Baud-Bovy: G, Psachos: C). Antonios Sigalas, whose
transcription is the oldest available for this specific tune (but with another text), presents a quite
differentiated melodic variant, especially in the first two phrases (Ex. 7)26. The first phrase ends on G, giving
the scheme G-a-a-G, instead of a-a-a-G. The melody is transcribed practically from a (Ke), yet the
theoretical basis of the echos is D (Pa). It is a clever trick of the transcriptor, since the medial cadences on G
and a, as well as the final cadence on G are indeed classical attributes of the 1st plagal echos of the
Sticherarion, into which he obviously classifies the song27. The problem is that the tonic is nowhere in the
melody to be found, which is really very unusual.
The solution lies probably once again in the old repertoire, specifically in the 4th plagal echos, which
had G as basis and a, c, d as further dominant and ending tones. The medial cadences on a, like those in the
song we examine, are very common in this mode. In the younger repertoire, the dominant and ending tones
have changed their position, so that in place of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th degree we find the 1st, 3rd and 5th (given
that in the Chrysanthine system the 4th plagal echos is positioned on C, the respective tones are C, E, G). It
was therefore impossible for our transcriptors to think about classifying the song into this mode.
To support this view, we use the Dogmatic Theotokion (Ex. 8),
published in the series Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae from a 13th c. Sticherarion (Cod. Peribleptus, in
the Library of the University College in Cardiff)28. It should firstly be stressed that the persistent flattening of
21
118
b, even in the upwards direction of the melody, is not due to some relative indication in the manuscript, but
to the judgement of the transcriptor, based on his musical intuition. The ambitus of the melody is similar to
that of the song, yet expanded at certain points up to a 3rd downwards. Each one of the numbered lines
corresponds to a musical phrase, except the last two (8 and 9), which form together one phrase. The medial
cadences end on G, a, and d, the final one on G. The same tones can be considered as dominant, perhaps c as
well. The second phrase (line 2) is quite similar to the first phrase of the song, while the cadence of the third
phrase (line 3) reminds of the singers half-cadence on d; the next phrase (line 4) begins then with d and ends
on a, like in the song. The cadence of the 5th phrase (line 5), which is identical with that of the 7th (line 7),
refers us directly to the final cadence of the song, which is the best testimony for the modal identity of the
latter. [It is interesting that the medial cadences of the chant up to the 5th line give a scheme similar to
Sigalas (G-a-a-G), if we consider the end of the 3rd phrase as a half-cadence].
The well-known song about the death of the legendary Digens ( ) seems to be
a further case of survival of old modal attributes (Ex. 9a-b)29. The year of recording and the performers are
the same as in the previous example30. The melody moves diatonically within a 9th and covers, according to
the terminology of ecclesiastical music, two pentachords: D-a and a-e. The song can be easily divided into
four phrases: The first phrase (- , ) moves mainly within the higher
pentachord and ends on a, the second one ( , - ) uses the lower pentachord
ending on D, the third phrase is a repetition of the second (with the same words) and the fourth one (-
-, ) is a repetition of the first, so that the stanza ends on a. In the last
stanza, however, the repetition of the first phrase is omitted and the song ends on D. It is difficult to find
further dominant tones except D and a, although c has a certain importance as starting note of the
introductory formula (something like apechema) at the beginning of the song.
Baud-Bovy considers both ending tones (D and a) as tonal centres, the lower of them having the
character of a tonic31. Spyridon Peristeris, in his own recording, classifies the song into the a-modus (tropos
of La)32. The editions in Byzantine notation (by A. Sigalas33, P. Vlastos34, K. Psachos35) decide unanimously
on the 1st plagal echos from D (Pa)obviously that of the Papadik, since the sticherarical one ends finally on
G and the heirmological one has another basis (a), while they omit the repetition of the first phrase, so that
each stanza ends on D (transcription by Psachos in Ex. 10)36. In this way a somewhat irregular final cadence
on a is avoided. It is true that Baud-Bovy regards this variant as the original one; he assumes that the
repetition of the first phrase was added later, in order to replace the original one-verse form (i.e. each musical
stanza covers one verse of the poetic text) with the one-and-a-half-verse form, which is the rule in western
Crete37. One could object, however, that K. Psachos recording (1911), which is the youngest of the three in
Byzantine notation, is only 19 years apart from the one used by Baud-Bovy. Given that an Acritic38 song like
this has certainly a very long history, it is difficult to imagine how this adjustment to the musical-poetical
taste of the inhabitants of the Riza took place with such a delay. It is worth mentioning that the one-and-ahalf-verse version of the song can be found in a further recording from the same year (1930) in Baud-Bovys
book39.
Apart from this question, the transcription in 1st plagal echos from D does not create any serious
problems, since D and a (along with G) as dominant and ending tones are indeed characteristic of the
specific mode. Nevertheless, a more careful reading, taking in to account the dominance of a in the first
phrase (the introductory formula leads actually to this tone), but also in the last one (provided that Baud29
Eustathios Makris Byzantine Modes in Greek Traditional Music. Some Remarks on the Rizitika Songs
119
Bovys theory is not correct), guides us to the 1st echos of the old repertoire40. This mode can be described as
follows: Having a as its basis and its main dominant and ending tone, it ascends up to d or e, makes often
medial cadences on the respective plagal mode (a 5th lower, on D) but also on the mesos41 (a 3rd lower, on
F) and ends finally on a or D. In certain cases G and c make also their appearance as dominant and ending
tones.
All these attributes can be observed in the Sticheron Anastasimon , , , from
Codex Peribleptus again (Ex. 11)42. Each numbered line corresponds to a musical phrase; the first three
phrases end on a (the first of them reminds of the introductory formula of the song), the fourth one ends on D
(it is comparable to the cadence of the second phrase of the song), the fifth one ends on F, the sixth one
makes a half-cadence on c and the last one ends on a. One could say that all the basic attributes of this mode
are present in the Digens song, except the cadence on the mesos. But if we look at another version of the
song, transcribed by Baud-Bovy from a 1954 recording (Ex. 12)43, we see a quite clear half-cadence on f in
the second and third phrase; the melody ascends then to the dominant tone c and ends medially on D. It is
worth mentioning, finally, that the 1st echos from a, usually called tetraphonos, survives in the younger
repertoire as well, but only in melismatic chants, like those included, for example, in the Doxastarion by
Iakovos Protopsaltes (d. 1800).
The reader should not get the impression that the modes described here can be found only in the
Rizitika songs or only in Crete. These songs are simply the most adequate starting point for an attempt to
trace certain survivals of melodic attributes from the Byzantine period through the analysis of their modality,
testing thus a diachronic approach to the modal system in connection with the demotic songs. The specific
repertoire comes stylistically close to the ecclesiastical music and is handed down from generation to
generation in a very conservative way, which ensures the continuity and prevents us, up to a point, from
searching for something where it does not exist.

The same modal attributes apply to the song , from Cod. 1203 of the Iviron monastery, dating from
th
nd
the 17 c. (Mazarakis, , 2 ed., p. 53), which shows a similar melodic progression and refers also to Digens.
Like in our example, the melody starts from c and moves in the higher pentachord, falling then into the lower one. The scribe
st
seems to be conscious of the problem, as he notes at the beginning: this is 1 echos ( ). It is true that
st
st
in more recent years the 1 mode from a was often considered as 1 plagal. The music theoretician Apostolos Konstas from Chios
th
th
writes at the beginning of the 19 c.: The four modes, whose bases lie four steps (a 5 ) above the bases of the respective plagals,
were considered by the so-called later teachers of this art as plagals, while they were sung as authentics[
, , ,
(Cod. 1867 of the National Library of Greece in Athens, dating from 1820, edited by Charalambos
Karakatsanis under the title: , vol. 1: , Athens 1995, p. 150)].

Mesos (middle) is the tone lying in the middle between the basis of an authentic mode and that of the respective plagal.
