Habakkuk I, instr. instrumental imperf. imperfective inf. infinitive * Following Pugh (1996: 2–9), the terms ‘Ruthenian’ and ‘CES’ (Common East Slavonic) are used in this thesis. The former refers to the uncodified written language used in the Ukrainian and Belarusian territories from the 14th to the 17th century. This term may be further qualified by either ‘Ukrainian’ or ‘Belarusian’ when a particular linguistic feature is characteristic of only one of the languages. The latter term is used to denote the period of linguistic development common to the three East Slavonic languages – Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian – spanning approximately the middle of the 9th to the beginning of the 14th century. It should be borne in mind that the nomenclature of East Slavonic languages both in relation to the earliest period of their development and their subsequent individual histories (especially with regard to Ukrainian and Belarusian), is a complex issue, a detailed examination of which lies beyond the remit of this dissertation. For a detailed discussion and references see, Danylenko (2006: 89–141) and Pugh (1996: 2–9). ** The term ‘OCS’ refers to the first written Slavonic language as attested in the manuscripts written in the Cyrillo-Methodian literary tradition in the period spanning the 10th until the end of the 11th century. The term ‘Church Slavonic’ (ChSl) is used to refer to the language in which manuscripts and texts, after the end of the 11th century, were written (Schenker 1995: 186–190). This term may be further qualified by the words ‘Moscow or (Great) Russian’, ‘South-Western’ (i.e. Ukrainian/Belarusian), ‘Bulgarian’, ‘Macedonian’ or ‘Serbian’ to refer to a particular local redaction of Church Slavonic (for further details see, Schenker (1995: 190–193) and Uspenskij (2002: 355–364). The term ‘Synodal Church Slavonic’ is used to denote the present- day form of Church Slavonic that is used in the Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian and other Orthodox churches (Mathiesen 1972: 70). *** Accentual marks are not used in this thesis when rendering Greek words. viii Isa.

    MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM +1. INTRODUCTION These are comments to "Additional Cyrillic Characters In Unicode: A Preliminary Proposal". I'm examining each section of that document, as well as adding some extra notes (marked "+" in titles). Below I use standard Russian Cyrillic characters; please be sure that you have appropriate fonts installed. If everything is OK, the following two lines must look similarly (encoding CP-1251): (sample Cyrillic letters) АабВЕеЗКкМНОопРрСсТуХхЧЬ (Latin letters and digits) Aa6BEe3KkMHOonPpCcTyXx4b 2. CYRILLIC LETTER RUMANIAN YN In the late Cyrillic semi-uncial Rumanian/Moldavian editions, the shape of YN was very similar to inverted PSI, see the following sample from the Ноул Тестамент (New Testament) of 1818, Neamt/Нямец, folio 542 v.: file:///Users/everson/Documents/Eudora%20Folder/Attachments%20Folder/Addons/MAIN.HTM Page 1 of 28 MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM Here you can see YN and PSI in both upper- and lowercase forms. Note that the upper part of YN is not a sharp arrowhead, but something horizontally cut even with kind of serif (in the uppercase form). Thus, the shape of the letter in modern-style fonts (like Times or Arial) may look somewhat similar to Cyrillic "Л"/"л" with the central vertical stem looking like in lowercase "ф" drawn from the middle of upper horizontal line downwards, with regular serif at the bottom (horizontal, not slanted): Compare also with the proposed shape of PSI (Section 36). 3.

  • Images of Devotion
    IMAGES OF DEVOTION Russian Icons from the DePauw University Art Collection INTRODUCTION Initially conceived in the first century, religious icons have a long history throughout the Christian world.1 The icon was not simply created to mirror the physical appearance of a biblical figure, but to idealize him or her, both physically and spiritually.2 Unlike Western Christianity where religious art can be appreciated solely for its beauty and skill alone, in the Orthodox tradition, the icon becomes more than just a reflection – it is a vehicle for the divine essence contained within.3 Due to the sacred nature of the icon, depictions of biblical figures became not only desirable in the Orthodox tradition, but an absolute necessity. Religious icons were introduced to Russia during the official Christianization of the country under Vladimir, the Great Prince of Kiev, in 988. After this period, many regional schools developed their own indigenous styles of icon painting, such as: Pokov, Novgorod, Moscow, Suzdal, and Jaroslavl.4 Upon Moscow’s emergence as Christ with Twelve Apostles the religious and political capital of Russia in the Russian Artist, Date Unknown Tempura Paint on Panel sixteenth century, it cemented its reputation as DePauw Art Collection: 1976.31.1 the great center for icon painting.

  • National Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Greece
    NATIONAL INVENTORY OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF GREECE I. BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE ELEMENT OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE (ICH) 1. Name : Chant. Other names : Byzantine Music, Eastern Orthodox Church Music, Art of Chanting, Chant of Constantinople, Psaltic Art, Psalmody, Hymnody 2. Identification : The mnemotechnics of the rendering of chants in Church services (practitioners, Liturgical Typikon, planning of concerts, resources, manuals, training and its characteristic cultural constitutive elements and idioms). 3. Domain represented by the element • Oral traditions and expressions. The fundamental subject of chanting is bound by specific techniques and theoretical knowledge on many levels provided exclusively in church staged rites. These components require long studies and systematic exercise in church choirs, where trainees specialize in specific levels and areas of expertise (rising from the lower roles of Anagnostis [Reader], Canonarch [who intones the verses of the hymns], Isokratis [who holds the fundamental note of a given melodic section] or Melodist, to the higher offices of Domestikos B and Domestikos A [Assistants to the Leaders of the Left and Right Choirs, respectively], Lampadarios [Leader of the Left Choir] or Protopsaltis [First Cantor, Leader of the Right Choir]). In this manner, the knowledge of chanting is transmitted orally from the older masters to the younger. Moreover, mnemonic, practical methods and insignificant phrases or words or even mnemonic verses capture and summarize the basic practical knowledge (interpretations, “ananes” for an intonation, or “neanes”, “nana”, “agia” etc.). • Liturgical arts as cultural means of self-determination. In conjunction with church poetry (psalms, hymns), chant is the liturgical art par excellence within the framework of Holy Services in Orthodox churches.

    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section II: Conference papers, pp. 83-97 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm Stifling Creativity: Problems Born out of the Promulgation of the 1906 Tserkovnoje Prostopinije Fr Silouan Sloan Rolando [email protected] At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Greek Catholic Bishop of the city of Mukačevo in what is now Ukraine promulgated an anthology of Carpatho- Rusyn chant known as the Церковноє Простопѣніє (hereafter, the Prostopinije) or Ecclesiastical Plainchant. While this book follows in the tradition of printed Heirmologia found throughout the Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches of Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia starting in the sixteenth century, this book presents us with a number of issues that affect the quality and usability of this chant in both its homeland and abroad as well as in the original language, Old Church Slavonic, and in modern languages such as Ukrainian, Hungarian and English. Assuming that creativity is more than just producing new music out of thin air, the problems revealed in the Prostopinije can be a starting point the better to understand how creativity can be unintentionally stifled and what can be done to overcome these particular obstacles. A Brief History Heirmologia in this tradition are anthologies of traditional chant that developed in the emergence of the Kievan five-line notation in place of the older Znamenny neums. With the emergence of patterned chant systems variously called Kievan, Galician, Greek and Bulharski, each touting unique melodies for each tone and each element of liturgy, the Heirmologia would be augmented with these chants often replacing the older Znamenny, especially for the troparia, stichera and prokeimena of the Octoechos.

  • Old Cyrillic in Unicode*
    Old Cyrillic in Unicode* Ivan A Derzhanski Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [email protected] The current version of the Unicode Standard acknowledges the existence of a pre- modern version of the Cyrillic script, but its support thereof is limited to assigning code points to several obsolete letters. Meanwhile mediæval Cyrillic manuscripts and some early printed books feature a plethora of letter shapes, ligatures, diacritic and punctuation marks that want proper representation. (In addition, contemporary editions of mediæval texts employ a variety of annotation signs.) As generally with scripts that predate printing, an obvious problem is the abundance of functional, chronological, regional and decorative variant shapes, the precise details of whose distribution are often unknown. The present contents of the block will need to be interpreted with Old Cyrillic in mind, and decisions to be made as to which remaining characters should be implemented via Unicode’s mechanism of variation selection, as ligatures in the typeface, or as code points in the Private space or the standard Cyrillic block. I discuss the initial stage of this work. The Unicode Standard (Unicode 4.0.1) makes a controversial statement: The historical form of the Cyrillic alphabet is treated as a font style variation of modern Cyrillic because the historical forms are relatively close to the modern appearance, and because some of them are still in modern use in languages other than Russian (for example, U+0406 “I” CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER I is used in modern Ukrainian and Byelorussian). Some of the letters in this range were used in modern typefaces in Russian and Bulgarian.

  • For the Annotation of Titlo Diacritic
    Irina LOBJANIDZE Associate Professor Ilia State University Tbilisi, Georgia For the annotation of Titlo Diacritic Abstract: The paper describes different levels of annotation used in the Corpus of Modern, Middle and Old Georgian Texts. Aiming at building a new, extensive and representative tool for Georgian language the Corpus was compiled under the financial support of the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation and the Ilia State University (AR/266/1-31/13). In particular, the Corpus of Georgian language is envisaged as collecting a substantial amount of data needed for research. The scope and representativeness of texts included as well as free accessibility to it makes the corpus one of the most necessary tools for the study of different texts in Modern, Middle and Old Georgian (see, http://corpora.iliauni.edu.ge/). The corpus consists of different kind of texts, mainly: a) Manuscript- based publications; b) Reprints; c) Previously unpublished manuscripts and; d) Previously published manuscripts and covers Modern, Middle and Old Georgian. The paper presents the research area, the design and structure and applications related to the compilation of the corpus, in particular, different levels of annotation as meta-data, structural mark-up and linguistic annotation at word-level, especially, from the viewpoint of Titlo Diacritic. This paper is structured as follows: Section 1 includes background and research questions; Section 2 presents a methodological approach and briefly summarizes its theoretical prerequisites; Section 3 includes the findings and hypothesis, which refers generally to the differences between the annotation of Modern and Old Georgian texts; and Section 4 presents the answers to the research questions.

  • The Embodied Spirituality of Church Slavonic
    Stephen Pax Leonard THE WORD AS AN ICON: THE EMBODIED SPIRitUALitY OF CHURCH SLAVONIC abstract How do Russian Orthodox Christians frame their understanding of semiotic ideologies of worship? That is to say, how do worshippers interpret liturgical language ‘signs’ and how do these interpretations colour their views as to which language is ‘right’ for the Church? There are to be found two semiotic ideologies of worship in Moscow. There are traditionalists for whom the liturgical language is embodied; it becomes the language of God through its vocalisation and enactment. Then, there are those who believe that Church Slavonic is not an indelible part of Russian Orthodox life and that in terms of its semiotic status its relation to the world it represents is an arbitrary one. Those who invoke the former, folk understandings of semiotic praxis perceive the Holy language as an icon or experiential portal that makes the presence of God more presupposable. Conceptions of language and linguistic register vary intra-culturally. Fieldwork showed how different perceptions of form map onto consciousness, raising questions of intentionality as assumptions about who is speaking (God or the priest) are bound up with the form that is used. Keywords: liturgical language, embodiment, semiotic ideology, worship, icon ‘I am interested in the power of words from an interlocutor can set the ethnographer and images over their beholders. I am off on a long journey of epistemological interested in the voice of the word, not the discovery. For this interlocutor, Church Slavonic meaning of the word’ (Husserl 1958: 242). (what he called старый русский ‘old Russian’) words spoken by a priest during a church service INTRODUCTION were experiential portals for they facilitated a closer relationship with the divinity.

    T.C İstanbul Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Müzik Anasanat Dalı Kompozisyon Sanat Dalı Kompozisyon Programı Yüksek Lisans Tezi 20. YÜZYILIN İLK YARISINDA MODALİTE Dilara Gözde Araz 2501050672 Tez Danışmanı Begüm Çelebioğlu İstanbul Mayıs 2008 ÖZ Bu tezin ana konusu ilkçağlardan beri var olan ve 20. yüzyıl müziğinin özellikle ilk 50 yılının önemli bir kısmını oluşturan ses dizileri mod’ların, tarihsel oluşumunu, coğrafya ve kültürlere göre farklılıklarını ve bu farklılıklardan doğan birikimle yeniden gündeme geldikleri 20. yüzyıl müziğindeki kullanım biçimini incelemektir. Birinci bölüm kapsamlı olarak mod kavramını tasvir ederken, tarih boyunca var olan gelişimini de konu edinmiştir. İkinci bölümde ise mod’ların 20. yüzyıldaki kullanımı müzik akımlarına göre incelenmiş ve örneklenmiştir. Üçüncü ve son bölüm ise 20. Yüzyıl müziğindeki modal eserlere örnekler ve bu örneklerin analizlerini içerir. Bu araştırma projesinde, örnekleme, sınıflandırma ve analiz gibi bilimsel araştırma metodları kullanılmıştır.
