God, who alone rests upon the thrones on-High / Was pleased that a man who had found favor with Him, / Should behold thee, O Lady, standing above the earth / Stretching out thy divine hands in supplication / Praying for the city and the people. / Protect us now, O Lady /// Under the veil of thy mercy. (Twice) Thou, O most-pure Lady / Ever protects with thy precious veil / The city [and people] that honor and worthily praise thee, / Keeping them safe from the assaults of the enemy, / From famine, and earthquake, and civil war, /// O Virgin, Bride unwedded, thou protectress and defender of mankind. O living abode of Christ, / Thou art a wall, a haven, and a stronghold for the faithful. / Through thee, O Mother of God, [are they and] thy city saved; / Through thy help the kings of the true Faith are crowned; / In thee do they rejoice as they gain victories over the heathens, /// For thou ever protects us under the veil of thy mercy. Glory..., now and ever…, in the Tone 5: Come, ye assemblies of those who love the feasts of the Church, / And let us sing the praises of the most-holy Virgin! / For today -

Sacred Song in the Late Antique and Byzantine East: Comparative Explorations 3-6 May, 2015 Brown University
Sacred Song in the Late Antique and Byzantine East: Comparative Explorations 3-6 May, 2015 Brown University Spyridon Antonopoulos City University, London “ 'We shall clearly hear him say 'Rejoice!' as we sing': Hearing, Intelligibility, and Performance in Byzantine Chant" The complex strophic poems known as the Kanons were first composed during a flourishing of literary creativity that took place in and around the Palestinian monastery of St Sabas in the seventh and eighth centuries. Kanons typically consisted of eight or nine textually and melodically unique heirmoi, to which multiple thematically linked troparia (contrafacta) were adapted. The heirmoi formed the basis for the notated musical collection of the Heirmologion, which can be found in its most archaic form as early as the tenth century. The heirmoi found in medieval Heirmologia were unascribed, brief, and mostly syllabic. By the fourteenth century, while traditional styles of psalmody continued to be sung and written, a new style of singing and composition – kalophonia – had begun to touch nearly every genre of liturgical poetry, including the Kanon’s heirmoi. Thus, elaborate kalophonic heirmoi, composed by named musicians, appear at least by the fourteenth century, characterized by long, melismatic phrases, text troping, insertion of non-textual elements, modal variety, and an expanded melodic range. This paper shall provide an analysis of select kalophonic heirmoi in contrast to their syllabic forebears in order to confront questions of aural reception, intelligibility, and performance. Thomas Arentzen University of Oslo “Voices Interwoven: Refrains and Vocal Participation in Late Ancient Kontakia” The refrain constitutes an indispensable element of the kontakion. It ties the stanzas together, but it also contributes to a sort of repetitive concentration in these songs; whichever spirals and ellipses the narratives move in, the refrain remains a gravity center. -

“THE GREAT INITIATE OF GOD’S GRACE”: A KONTAKION ON ST NICHOLAS BY PSEUDO-ROMANOS Uffe Holmsgaard Eriksen ([email protected]) University of Southern Denmark Abstract: During the ninth and tenth centuries, St Nicholas of Myra became increasingly popular as a saint, eventually rising to rank of the apostles in veneration. This article presents an investigation into the monastic piety which brought St Nich- olas onto the stage of the Byzantine liturgical storyworld as one of the most im- portant saints. Through a closer examination of how he was presented from the ninth century onwards in hagiography in general, the main focus of the article is a kontakion on the saint attributed to the great poet Romanos the Melodist (ca. 485–560) in particular. The question of authorship, time and place of origin of the kontakion is discussed. The article finally brings a new translation of the kontakion into English. Key words: Keywords: pseudo-Romanos, Romanos the Melodist, kontakion, kanon, Byzan- tine hymnography, St Nicholas of Myra, St Nicholas of Sion, hagiography PNA 35/2020 109 ARTIKLAR Hagiographical Hymns in General Scholarly work on Byzantine hymns devoted to saints is still a desider- atum. This goes not only for a large amount of unedited hagiographical kanons,1 but also for the kontakia2 on saints’ lives. Most of these hagio- graphical kontakia, several hundred,3 remain unedited, but because of the high esteem and popularity of Romanos the Melodist among Byz- antinists we have 20 kontakia devoted to apostles or saints attributed to him in a critical edition. The edition was originally prepared by Paul Maas but it was his collaborator, Constantine Trypanis, who finished the volume after Maas’ death based on his notes and personal commu- nication.4 Maas and Trypanis regarded all the kontakia in this edition spurious, and Trypanis’ verdict on the quality of the hymns could easily scare away interested scholars (see below). -

A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography
Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service. -

Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 from His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH
Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 From His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH The Royal Hours & Typika are served on the morning of Friday, January 04, which is the day BEFORE the Paramon (Eve). Therefore, we sing the Apolytikion of the Forefeast: Be thou ready, Zebulon… (HTM Horologion 369, Nassar 433). The Royal Hours may each be offered in either of the following orders: Consecutively, starting at 9:00 AM in the following manner: start the First Royal Hour with “Blessed is our God,” and OMIT the Dismissal at the end of each Hour (except the last), and OMIT the section between “Blessed is our God” to right before “Come let us worship” in the Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours. SIMPLY PUT, OMIT THE BOXED PORTIONS OF THE TEXT. At their usual times (6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, Noon and 3:00 PM), with the Ninth Royal Hour and Typika being served at 3:00 PM, followed immediately by Daily Vespers of Paramon (Eve) of Theophany. Alternatively, Vespers may be celebrated in the early evening hours. The Priest performs the Great Censing of the entire church at the start of the First and Ninth Royal Hours, and the Small Censing from the Beautiful Gate (Holy Doors) – like he would before the Great Entrance in Divine Liturgy – at the start of the Third and Sixth Royal Hours. NOTE: We do NOT celebrate Divine Liturgy on Friday, January 04. Our Patriarchate of Antioch reminds us that we follow this same pattern at Pascha, when Royal Hours are served on Holy Friday, and Divine Liturgies are celebrated only on the weekend. -
