Theory and Practice of Psaltiki: Why do they not coincide?
Résumé
Psaltiki follows since the late 19 th century a theory of the scale established by the 1881 Musical Committee under the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Tonometric analyses show that praxis and theory barely coincide, and that the latter should be considered as a mere guide for cantors, and not a binding procedure. The structural differences between the scale of the First and Second Reforms of the 19 th century are underlined. A series of short examples-from Lebanese as well as Greek cantors-demonstrate the discrepancies between theory and praxis. Explanations about the role of heterophony in Psaltiki are provided as well as an example of reconstruction of a Byzantine choir.
