yes and also a difference of their individual styles and also of the modes themselves.

[Samuel Herron]

Excellent observations, and this is very true! All master chanters make use of silence in this way. It’s a key aspect of anyone’s style, very well done.

[Samuel Herron]

Excellent observations, well done. Enjoyed reading this.

[Samuel Herron]

Yes, and the lesson is updated. It should be there now.

[Samuel Herron]

Yes, deep breaths and lots of practice, it takes time to build them up. I used to have the hardest time with them.

[Samuel Herron]

Good observations, so for the first question, yes that’s how I do it. There are many varying ways to handle it though.

For your second question, I let the second Zo get a bit higher than normal, mainly to highlight that it isn’t a fully flat Zo, it’s more like a Vou in first mode going to Pa, slightly flat, but not a full half step. In trying to demonstrate that, it got slightly higher than I wanted.

[Samuel Herron]

Yes, apologies. The slots are open.

[Samuel Herron]

Excellent observations. I think it’s also the mode and the style of hymn, 1st/Pl 1st hymns, especially around Pascha, are a bit more driving, almost a martial feel to them.

[Samuel Herron]

That’s interesting about the ison point, perhaps that can have an effect.

[Samuel Herron]

Good observations, thanks Ephraim.

Contextually, it depends on the interpretation. Some can be used with multiple syllables, others not so much, so try them as you see them and see how it goes! Feel free to ask for feedback in labs.
