Ίσον: Εφαρμογή ισοκράτη και μετρονόμου για μαθητές Εκκλησιαστικής Μουσικής

Η εφαρμογή αυτή απευθύνεται κυρίως στους μαθητές της Εκκλησιαστικής Μουσικής και αποτελεί ένα βοηθητικό εργαλείο βοηθητικό στη μελέτη της. Περιέχει τους φθόγγους της φυσικής διατονικής κλίμακας σε οκτώ διαφορετικές τονικότητες, ενώ παράλληλα διαθέτει και λειτουργία μετρονόμου.

Η εφαρμογή αυτή αποτελεί καρπό της συνεργασίας των Δημήτρη Μπάκα και Γιώργου Κουνατίδη. Σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής ήταν η δημιουργία ενός εργαλείου που θα βοηθούσε τους μαθητές αλλά και τους δασκάλους της Εκκλησιαστικής Μουσικής τόσο κατά τη διάρκεια της διδασκαλίας όσο και κατά τη διάρκεια της προσωπικής μελέτης των μαθητών. Τον ίδιο σκοπό εξυπηρετεί και η λειτουργία του μετρονόμου, ο οποίος περιλαμβάνει και μια ειδική πρωτότυπη λειτουργία, αυτήν της έκτακτης παρεμβολής τρισήμων ποδών με την επιλογή «+1».
Η κατάρτιση των πινάκων με τις συχνότητες των φθόγγων έγινε με βάση τους Πυθαγόρειους λόγους, ενώ η επιλογή του ήχου έγινε με αποκλειστικό κριτήριο αυτός να είναι ευδιάκριτος, σαφής και χωρίς άλλες προσθήκες βάθους κλπ.. Η εφαρμογή προορίζεται αποκλειστικά για χρήση στο μάθημα και τη μελέτη, ενώ δεν συστήνεται η χρήση της στους ναούς, καθώς κάτι τέτοιο απάδει προς τον χαρακτήρα και το ήθος της Λατρείας.

English
This application is mainly aimed at students of Eastern Church Music and is a helpful tool for its study. It contains the notes of the natural diatonic scale in eight different keys, while it also has a metronome function.
This application is the result of the collaboration of Dimitris Bakas and George Kounatidis. The purpose of this work was to create a tool that would help students and teachers of Eastern Church Music both, during teaching and during student’s personal study. The same purpose is served by the metronome function, which also includes a special original function, that of the emergency interpolation of triplets with “+1” option. The tables of frequencies of the diatonic scale is based on the Pythagorean ratios while the selection of the sound was made from simple sound generators, with the sole criterion that is should be distinct. With that in mind, there was not any additional effect on the selected sounds, such as, reverb and the use of synthesized sounds (voices, or instruments) was avoided. This application is designed exclusively for educational purposes. Its use in temples is not recommended, as this it cannot be in accordance with the ethos of the Worship.

Această aplicație se adresează în principal persoanelor care studiază muzica bisericească bizantină, fiind un instrument util pentru studiul acesteia. Cuprinde notele scării diatonice naturale în opt tonalități diferite și îndeplinește, de asemenea, funcția de metronom.

Această aplicație este rezultatul colaborării dintre Dimitris Bakas și Georgios Kounatidis. Scopul acestei lucrări a fost de a crea un instrument care să ajute profesorii și studenții de muzică bisericească bizantină în timpul predării, respectiv în timpul studiului personal. Același scop este urmărit și prin utilizarea sa ca metronom, care include și o funcție specială și originală ce face posibilă, în caz de nevoie, executarea picioarelor metrice de trei timpi prin opțiunea „+1”. Tabelele de frecvențe ale scării diatonice se bazează pe rapoartele pitagoreice, iar pentru alegerea sunetului s-a recurs la generatoare de sunet simple, având ca unic criteriu acuratețea și claritatea acestuia. În acest sens, nu s-a aplicat niciun efect suplimentar asupra sunetelor selectate, cum ar fi reverbul, și s-a evitat utilizarea sunetelor sintetizate (voci sau instrumente). Această aplicație este concepută exclusiv în scop didactic și de studiu. Utilizarea sa în lăcașurile de cult nu este recomandată, întrucât o astfel de practică nu este conformă cu ethosul slujirii.
