Pitching

Tone 8 begins with a standard major triad, 1-3-5. What is a triad? Simple, three notes 🤣.

Here is an example for the key of F major:

1 –> The first note (the 1st) is F and will be the Bass and Alto starting note.

<aside> 💡 Note: Sometimes the first sticheron (verse) begins a little lower because of the length of the phrase. Examples below.

3 –> The next note (the 3rd) is A and will be the Soprano. This is generally the melody you are familiar with.

5 –> The next note (the 5th) is C and will be the Tenor.

<aside> 👇 The following image is in the key of G major. But, it can easily be shifted to F major, which is what we have done above. It tends to be a little easier for our ladies to sing. You can even do E major if you like, which is even lower.
