Ison in Writing First mentioned in writing in the 14th century, but we think it goes way back

stemming from Old Testament practice of using bagpipe and other drone instruments

First notated in music in the 19th century. Not commonly seen in liturgical books until the 20th century.

Very little written down and published on this topic! Lycourgos Angelopoulos published a three-page article on the topic (“Isokratema Technique in Modern Performance Practice”) in November 2000 expressing his opinions.

Ison in Theory An opportunity to enhance the melody and form a “Trinity” of Words, Melody,

and Ison Melody is the “Unified Voice of the Church” with Ison as the “Uncreated Light

of God” With the essence of Byzantine Chant being mystical prayer, ison is a

complimentary, prayerful line Ison should never overpower the Melody Ison provides a steady foundation for the Melodic line. Most generally the

bass note of the tone or the dominant note of the melodic tetrachord

Ison in Practice Tremendous variation in style and technique from one choir to another! Concept of traditional/usual patterns versus innovations Ison is optional. Better to have no ison than “bad” ison

Ison is not Easy! “To do it properly it requires musicality, knowledge of the music and the text being chanted, psaltic experience, and good aesthetic criterion. It requires vocal and breathing stamina and very good pitch. Untrained psaltai (chanters) can do isokratema as long as there is someone to guide them as to when and where to they should change.”

– D. Koubaroulis

Types of Ison: Basic ison (=only the basis of the mode) Conservative ison (=tetrachords/pentachord and mode changes only) Moving ison (=conservative ison + some vertical harmonization similar to

Stanitsas's scores) Westernized ison (=vertically harmonized ison)

– D. Koubaroulis

Methods of Vocalization: Single Vowel Sound [e.g., “a”, “o”, “ee”, “ǝ” (“schwa”) or Hum (“hmm”)] Only Vowel Sounds of Text (no consonants) Complete Text – a choir form requiring practice

Phrasing/Breaths: Stop ison with end of phrase. Group breath. Carryover ison – how does this work when saying complete text?

Unison notes and Unison phrases When melody rejoins the ison note, an opportunity to check pitch Unison phrases in composition can enhance text and add variety

Double Ison Octaves – Traditional Second ison a fourth or fifth above the Bass note introduced by Constantine

Psachos, Professor of Byzantine Music in Athens in 1904. Not considered “traditional”

Only seen in the “Plagal” modes: Tone 5, Tone 6, Tone 8

Methods for indicating ison in Western notation Single Note Name above staff when ison changes (parallel with Byzantine

notation) Ison note physically written into the melodic staff Separate staff from melody staff (in treble or bass clef)

Breathing

Directing the Ison
