2 What is a Scae? A scae in Byzantine music is typicay composed of eight notes. The steps between notes can be of varying degrees: semitone, whoe tone, and toneandahaf. Each scae is composed of two tetrachords separated by a whoe tone. A tetrachord is a scae of four notes, with the first and ast note of the tetrachord being in the interva of a fourth. The Western C Major Scae is an exampe of a famiiar scae comprised of two tetrachords separated by a whoe tone: The C Major Scae What is a Chromatic scae? n Byzantine music, the defining characteristic of a Chromatic scae is that the tetrachords are made up of the foowing three intervas: semitone, toneandahaf, semitone (short, wide, short): Chromatic Scae based on C The Chromatic scae can be derived from the Major scae by fatting the 2 nd and 6 th notes. The wide intervas of a toneandahaf give this scae an Eastern or Midde Eastern quaity not found in Western music.

8 KE (A) in the Soft Chromatic Scae and its various transcriptions When the soft chromatic scae is written in Western notation, we often times see KE written as an Afat, but other times as an Anatura (e.g., compare Kazan to St. Anthony s monastery). Why is this? There are mutipe reasons. 1. n the origina Byzantine microtona soft chromatic scae, KE actuay fas in between an Afat and an Anatura, so there s a choice on how to transcribe it. The diagram beow shows the second tetrachord of the soft chromatic scae transcribed onto the Western 12tone scae. The numbers represent the number of microtones in each interva. There are 12 microtones to every fu step, making 6 microtones to a semitone on the Western scae, and 18 microtones to a tonean ahaf on the Western scae. However, in the origina Byzantine microtona soft chromatic scae, the intervas are sighty different, consisting of 8, 14, and 8 microtones, meaning that the short intervas are a itte wider than a Western semitone and that the wide interva in the midde is more narrow. Note how KE fas in between Afat and Anatura on the Byzantine scae. 2. Even though the Byzantine music theory underpinning the soft chromatic scae is the same everywhere, in practice, KE is sung a itte differenty depending on the geographic region. For exampe, in the Midde East, KE is sung coser to an Afat whie in Greece, it is often sung coser to an Anatura. 3. Some composers write the soft chromatic scae with KE being an Anatura to aow the chanter to interpret KE according to their tradition. n other words, the writing of A natura is not a direction to sing KE on the sharper side. Rather, it s intended to be competey neutra and unbiased as to the pacement of KE between Afat and A natura, incusive. For exampe, someone wanting to sing KE as an Afat woud see the A in the music and aways interpret it as an Afat.
