To imitate the original melody which descends to Nee at the end

Summary: To imitate the original melody which descends to Nee at the end of the word which is as follows χαίροις we will have to do some fancy tricks since there is no formula in my compilation for a word accented on the penult that ends on low Nee Notice that the original descends to low Nee and then places a diatonic fthora of Di on it and then ascends diatonically from there as if from Di To imitate this we can treat our Pa as if it were the high Ke in a hard chromatic scale and then descend from there to Di and then ascend diatonically from there To do this we will look for a melody going from Ke to Di in sticheraric plagal second mode that fits our accentuation pattern of 01 for rejoice Unfortunately there isn t any satisfactory melody on p 544 for this So we can resort to those other tricks I just mentioned above in comment 4 regarding blending two formulas together and splitting a word across two formulas The word Rejoice on line 13 is not going to work as you have it since the wrong syllable is emphasized You probably realized this too since you put a question mark next to it I suppose you did this to imitate the original melody for 8 What we can do is group the word thou together with the previous word rejoice so that we now have a 010 phrase Looking for a 010 formula on p 552 we see that there is one but it won t work for us because in order to blend it together with the next phrase the final syllable of our phrase must have only one note but this 010 has two notes for the final 0 But we can use the 10 formula on p 552 for the syllables joice thou by inserting an ison for the first syllable re I don t think your melody for let us cry is in my list of formulas It looks like a valid formula that has had its first notes cut off The problem is that we re usually not allowed to cut notes off of a formula like that We can solve this problem by using the 100 melody on p 534 But as I mentioned above using little formulas like that makes things sound a little choppy So I suggest that we blend formulas again by using the X100 on p 567 The X will be the syllable ness from the previous word gladness Now to combine this with the remaining words which are earthly angel we want to find a 1010 formula going diatonically from Di to Di On p 564 there are several 1010 formulas that would work but they don t ascend diatonically like the original melody does But the second 01010 melody on p 565 does ascend diatonically like the original melody So to use this formula we need to blend it with the previous formula In particular the final note of the 10 formula on p 552 which is an ison with a klasma needs to be replaced with an ison followed by kentemata The kentemata are used to replace the first 0 in the 01010 formula on p 564 7 Now to continue with the following phrase and heavenly man all we need to change in your music is to change the ison above and into an oligon with a hard chromatic fthora To imitate the original melody which descends
