The isocratima is an art on its own; this Greek term means "to hold the ison", that is the base note of the musical "mode" in which the troparion is chanted, and this note moves in relation with the fluctuations of the mode.

 The Musical Scale

The musical mode considered least dissonant (and thus most standard) in our Western tradition is the major mode, which is often equated with positive emotions, such as happiness, triumph, and love.
