These can be sung with or without the troparia inserted between the verses.
The G major transpositions of tones 3 & 7 are the preferred settings; F major
transpositions are an alternative and provide a lower tessitura for the tenors.
Tones 6, 4, 2, & 1 are easier; tone 3 & 7 are slightly more melismatic and
feature more harmonic and tonal contrast. Tone 8 is the most elaborate and
contrapuntal. Tone 5, although syllabic, is likely the most difficult because of
its unique harmonic and melodic characteristics.
