ECHOS not ECHOES....................................................................................................The noun ECHOS in Greek means "sound" in general. It acquired the specialized meaning of mode early on in the development of Byzantine music theory (ca. 14th century or earlier). In general, the concept of ECHOS denotes the scale, intervallic structure as well as a set of more or less explicitly formulated melodic rules and formulas that represent a certain category of melodies within the musical genre. As such, ECHOS is the basis for composing or improvising new melodies that belong to it, as well as for properly performing existing pieces that have been written in it. These rules include the distinction of a hierarchy of degrees (tones, notes), where certain degrees figure as "dominant" notes around which the melody will revolve prominently, or on which the melody will end most of the time. However, only very late stages of the theory (19th-20th century) actually provide systematic descriptions of echoi, while earlier stages use mostly diagrams, indirect descriptions and examples. Explicit detailed descriptions must still be provided based on extensive analysis, as is the case with modal phenomena in numerous other cultures.

I say it to you during these darkest of hours. Cold, which bring nothing but pain and suffering to our very lives. Torment enough to drive ten thousand minds insane with only a single memory of what once we had... now lost forever in the abyss of despair. I say it to you! Be it not what you know,
for simpler things than knowledge and mere thoughts have cast a man upon death. But as the sun continues to rise, know that what you seek lies with what you believe.
