| Νη || || Πα || || Βου || || Γα || || Δι || || Κε || || Ζω || || Νη|-| || 8 || || 14 || || 8 || || 12 || || 8 || || 14 || || 8 |||} Thus, properly speaking, the intervals between Δι and Κε on one hand and between Ζω and Νη on the other are 1/3 larger than a semi-tone, while the Κε-Ζω and Πα-Βου intervals are 1/3 of a semi-tone larger than a tone. The scale of Plagal of the second, known as the hard chromatic scale, is: {|| Πα || || Βου || || Γα || || Δι || || Κε || || Ζω || || Νη || Πα|-| || 6 || || 20 || || 4 || || 12 || || 6 || || 20 || || 4 |||} Thus, the intervals between Βου and Γα on one hand and between Ζω and Νη on the other is 1/3 of a semi-tone larger than a minor third, and the Γα-Δι and Νη-Πα intervals are 2/3 of a semi-tone. The tonic for the chromatic modes is: '''Mode 2''': Δι<br>'''Mode Plagal of the second''': Πα It should be noted that there are many instances in which hymns in mode 2 will use the hard chromatic scale and hymns in plagal of the second will use the soft chromatic scale. ==See also==*[[Byzantine Notation]]*[[osource:The Eight Tones]]*[[Orthodox Media]] == Sources ==* [[Wikipedia:Byzantine music]]*Original text (pre-Wikification) reproduced with permission from Dr. D.
