PARTS: 
Melody: sung by a singer/cantor
Ison: is a drone note, or a slow-moving lower vocal part, used in Byzantine chantand some related musical traditions to accompany the melody. It serves to support the melody, and not to transform it into a harmonized or polyphonic piece.
Historically, it is the oldest genre of extant music that is monophonic and sung acapella. It is a tradition that provided musical treated to all sacred texts. See 2 examples below.
