Immediate observation was that he’s taking his liberty with the timing when I tap the beats out, but specific to the trills, he’s done probably every vocal embellishment I know in the first 2 minutes of listening. Like Katie said, it’s effortless, seems second nature.
Accidentally posted this in the week 2 discussion, reposting here-
1st recording:
The recording what sticks out to me is how long the chanter leaves for adequate breaths in between theseis, taking tiny half or even quarter beat short breaths, where appropriate, within the musical phrase. The last notes of his phrases often decrescendo, which adds to that pause. Volume ebbs and flows, getting louder while in the second tetracord towards the end of the recording.
2nd recording:
Heiromonk Theodosios keeps a more even volume throughout the recording. He syncopates many of the trills and embellishments but keeps the rhythm well timed, pulsing the beats.1st recording:
