Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1323031). GREEK LIFE RONDO String 4tet Based on ancient tunes about Greek life.The lively Food Market song (I'll buy you a rooster) forms the refrain.Paraponiariko moy (Don't be unhappy, little one) is a short melody I found, with a scale I cannot name but very sad.Kariotikos from Ikaria is a slow or accelerating dance with some singing, often seen at weddings, in a flexible mode (partly phrygian).I entered the vineyard (Pour love over me) is related to Solomon's Song. I could only find about 6 bars of this melody: the rest is mine. Aeolian mode.Lullaby: this lovely melody uses the Hitzaz scale, which is common in Greek regions and found in Africa, North America and Spain.Hymn for Matins: this is the oldest Greek Orthodox chant I can find. It is from the 13th C Sticherarion and printed in modern notation in JISOCM Vol 4 (2), p357. Nowadays, chanting there is often a solo, often by a woman, but I believe parallel organum was heard in Greece from the 16th C. Modern services include 4- part hymns. I present all three styles.Song of the Dead Brothers is a complex 9th C Byzantine mourning poem which has since been set to music many times. (The nine brothers died.) I found this phrygian setting from Karystos.

In classical music, arioso [aˈrjoË�zo] (also aria parlante[1] [ˈaË�rja parˈlante]) is a category of solo vocal piece, usually occurring in an opera or oratorio, falling somewhere between recitative and aria in style. Literally, arioso means airy. The term arose in the 16th century along with the aforementioned styles and monody. It is commonly confused with recitativo accompagnato.Arioso is similar to recitative due to its unrestrained structure and inflexions, close to those of speech. It differs, however, in its rhythm. Arioso is similar to aria in its melodic form, both being closer to singing than recitative; however, they differ in form, arioso generally not resorting to the process of repetition.Sinfonia from Cantata Ich steh’ mit einem Fuß im Grabe (BWV 156)

ROBERT DEBBAUT #6345487. Published by ROBERT DEBBAUT (A0.939415). Lyadov's music largely concerned the legends and folklore of olden Russia. This Christmas Carol from his Eight Russian Folk Songs, Op. 58, is a melody of the old tradition of  Kolyadki, or house-to-house caroling common among the Ukrainian people. Much like our modern tradition of Halloween, children would travel door-to-door singing songs of the season and would be invited in from the cold for some warm dumplings, pastries and tea.
