Addy, Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School © Copyright by Andrew Cameron Pittman, 2019 All Rights Reserved. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express my eternal gratitude for Dr. Vladimir Pleshakov, his music, his life story, his graciousness, and his incredible patience. For without him, this document would not have been possible. Additionally, I’d like to thank Dr. Vladimir Morosan and Musica Russica, not only for their excellent research and books on Russian Liturgical history, but their permission to use any of their published materials in my document. Thank you to Dan Foster for relaying his priceless experiences with Dr. Pleshakov and their Carnegie Hall debut. Next, I’d like to thank Dr. Larry Wyatt and Dr. Andrew Gowan for their encouragement and support of my career and education over the last decade. I’d like to thank Mr. Jeff Whicker, my high school choral director, Professor John Kramar, my undergraduate voice teacher, Dr. Matthew Harden and Dr. Daniel Bara, my two undergraduate choral directors, and Mr. Edward Zambara, my graduate voice teacher, for these gifted educators not only inspired my chosen career path, they inspired me to live a full, rich, and well-rounded life. Finally, I’d like to thank my grandparents for their emotional and financial support, my mother and father for their tireless encouragement, and my life partner, Krista Wilhelmsen, for pushing me to finish this document and insisting that I reach out to Dr. Pleshakov, despite my reserved personality of “not wanting to bother people.” iii ABSTRACT Vladimir Pleshakov, an accomplished concert pianist, began composing at the age of seventy-five after a struggle with cancer. While awaking from anesthesia after surgery, Pleshakov began hearing spontaneously-composed and completed original Slavonic sacred choral music (in his mind). Over the last decade Dr. Pleshakov has produced nearly sixty compositions. Many of his compositions have found critical acclaim and are published by Musica Russica. This document provides a biography, list of compositions, background information, and a conductor’s analysis of his Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... iv LIST OF MUSICAL EXAMPLES .................................................................................. viii FOREWORD ..................................................................................................................... ix CHAPTER I: PROSPECTUS ..............................................................................................1 Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 Justification ..............................................................................................................3 Limitations ...............................................................................................................3 Methodology ............................................................................................................4 Literature Review.....................................................................................................4 CHAPTER II: BIOGRAPHY ..............................................................................................6 Background ..............................................................................................................6 Shanghai ...................................................................................................................8 Early Exposure to Music ..........................................................................................9 Australia .................................................................................................................12 California ...............................................................................................................14 Recording Career ...................................................................................................20 Europe ....................................................................................................................23 East Coast...............................................................................................................24 Conductor Dan Foster’s Experiences Working with Dr. Pleshakov ......................29 v CHAPTER III: HISTORY OF RUSSIAN LITURGICAL SINGING ..............................31 Overview ................................................................................................................31 The First Epoch ......................................................................................................31 The Second Epoch .................................................................................................33 The New Russian Choral School ...........................................................................38 Performance Characteristics ..................................................................................42 CHAPTER IV: A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE DIVINE LITURGY ...........................43 Overview ................................................................................................................43 Structure of the Liturgy ..........................................................................................47 CHAPTER V: STYLISTIC ELEMENTS OF LITURGY OF ST.

  • Unicode Request for Cyrillic Modifier Letters Superscript Modifiers
    Unicode request for Cyrillic modifier letters L2/21-107 Kirk Miller, [email protected] 2021 June 07 This is a request for spacing superscript and subscript Cyrillic characters. It has been favorably reviewed by Sebastian Kempgen (University of Bamberg) and others at the Commission for Computer Supported Processing of Medieval Slavonic Manuscripts and Early Printed Books. Cyrillic-based phonetic transcription uses superscript modifier letters in a manner analogous to the IPA. This convention is widespread, found in both academic publication and standard dictionaries. Transcription of pronunciations into Cyrillic is the norm for monolingual dictionaries, and Cyrillic rather than IPA is often found in linguistic descriptions as well, as seen in the illustrations below for Slavic dialectology, Yugur (Yellow Uyghur) and Evenki. The Great Russian Encyclopedia states that Cyrillic notation is more common in Russian studies than is IPA (‘Transkripcija’, Bol’šaja rossijskaja ènciplopedija, Russian Ministry of Culture, 2005–2019). Unicode currently encodes only three modifier Cyrillic letters: U+A69C ⟨ꚜ⟩ and U+A69D ⟨ꚝ⟩, intended for descriptions of Baltic languages in Latin script but ubiquitous for Slavic languages in Cyrillic script, and U+1D78 ⟨ᵸ⟩, used for nasalized vowels, for example in descriptions of Chechen. The requested spacing modifier letters cannot be substituted by the encoded combining diacritics because (a) some authors contrast them, and (b) they themselves need to be able to take combining diacritics, including diacritics that go under the modifier letter, as in ⟨ᶟ̭̈⟩BA . (See next section and e.g. Figure 18. ) In addition, some linguists make a distinction between spacing superscript letters, used for phonetic detail as in the IPA tradition, and spacing subscript letters, used to denote phonological concepts such as archiphonemes.

  • +1. Introduction 2. Cyrillic Letter Rumanian Yn
    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. CYRILLIC LETTER IOTIFIED A file:///Users/everson/Documents/Eudora%20Folder/Attachments%20Folder/Addons/MAIN.HTM Page 2 of 28 MAIN.HTM 10/13/2006 06:42 PM I support the idea that "IA" must be separated from "Я".

  • 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.

Moura in memoriam. Agradecimentos Certamente a família de…ne muito das escolhas de cada um. Minha avó materna, Maria José A. Moura, foi professora de uma cidade no interior de Pernambuco. É ela a quem dedico a minha tese de doutorado. Minha mãe, Geneide Moura, sempre estimulou a minha curiosidade. Meu avô paterno, Virgilio Almeida, foi empresário. Meu pai, Euzébio Azevedo, sempre me alertou da importância prática do dinheiro. Quem sabe o quanto destes fatos não determinou a minha escolha pelo doutorado em economia? Assim, agradeço aos meus pais e avós pelo simples fato de existirem e pelo apoio e carinho que sempre me deram. Obrigado também a meus irmãos Nana (Adriana Moreira), Prizinha (Priscila Azevedo) e Rico (Ricardo Azevedo) pelas alegrias (e arengas) que me proporcionaram. Enquanto cientista, eu me acostumei a conviver com a dúvida. No entanto, há um desejo por algo maior enquanto ser humano. Independente do que me diz a razão ou o desejo, a ideia deste algo superior esteve presente em diversos momentos de minha vida. Sendo assim, obrigado Deus. Agradeço ao meu orientador, Prof. Caio Almeida, e ao meu co-orientador, Prof. Marco Bonomo, por me guiarem nesta caminhada e pelos seus cuidados para comigo.

Speaking Russian In This Chapter ᮣ Understanding the Russian alphabet ᮣ Pronouncing words properly ᮣ Discovering popular expressions elcome to Russian! Whether you want to read Wa Russian menu, enjoy Russian music, or just chat it up with your Russian friends, this is the begin- ning of your journey. In this chapter, you get all the letters of the Russian alphabet, discover the basic rules of Russian pronunciation, and say some popular Russian expressions and idioms. Looking at the Russian Alphabet If you’re like most English speakers, you probably think that the Russian alphabet is the most challenging aspect of picking up the language. But not to worry. The Russian alphabet isn’t as hard as you think. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL From A to Ya: Making sense of Cyrillic The Russian alphabet is based on the Cyrillic alpha- bet, which was named after the ninth-century Byzantine monk, Cyril. But throughout this book, we convert all the letters into familiar Latin symbols, which are the same symbols we use in the English 05_149744 ch01.qxp 7/26/07 6:07 PM Page 6 6 Russian Phrases For Dummies alphabet. This process of converting from Cyrillic to Latin letters is known as transliteration. We list the Cyrillic alphabet here in case you’re adventurous and brave enough to prefer reading real Russian instead of being fed with the ready-to-digest Latin version of it. And even if you don’t want to read the real Russian, check out Table 1-1 to find out what the whole fuss is about regarding the notorious “Russian alphabet.” Notice that, in most cases, a transliterated letter corresponds to the way it’s actually pronounced.
