UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and The
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures by Sean Delaine Griffin 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Byzantine Liturgy and the Primary Chronicle by Sean Delaine Griffin Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Gail Lenhoff, Chair The monastic chroniclers of medieval Rus’ lived in a liturgical world. Morning, evening and night they prayed the “divine services” of the Byzantine Church, and this study is the first to examine how these rituals shaped the way they wrote and compiled the Povest’ vremennykh let (Primary Chronicle, ca. 12th century), the earliest surviving East Slavic historical record. My principal argument is that several foundational accounts of East Slavic history—including the tales of the baptism of Princess Ol’ga and her burial, Prince Vladimir’s conversion, the mass baptism of Rus’, and the martyrdom of Princes Boris and Gleb—have their source in the feasts of the liturgical year. The liturgy of the Eastern Church proclaimed a distinctively Byzantine myth of Christian origins: a sacred narrative about the conversion of the Roman Empire, the glorification of the emperor Constantine and empress Helen, and the victory of Christianity over paganism. In the decades following the conversion of Rus’, the chroniclers in Kiev learned these narratives from the church services and patterned their own tales of Christianization after them. The ii result was a myth of Christian origins for Rus’—a myth promulgated even today by the Russian Orthodox Church—that reproduced the myth of Christian origins for the Eastern Roman Empire articulated in the Byzantine rite. -
7Th Sunday After Pentecost Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils
1 7th Sunday after Pentecost Sunday of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Ecumenical Councils VESPERS: Tone 6 P. Regular Beginning C. Lord I have cried... 1. O Christ, triumphant over hell,/ Thou hast ascended upon the Cross,/ to raise up with Thyself those dwelling in the darkness of death./ Free among the dead,/ Thou pourest forth life from Thine own light:// O almighty Saviour, have mercy upon us. 2. Christ, having trampled upon death today,/ according to His word, rose up bestowing joy upon the world,/ that all of us shouting this hymn might say:/ O Fount of life, O Light that no man can approach,// O almighty Saviour, have mercy upon us. 3. Whither shall we sinners fly from Thee, O Lord,/ Who art everywhere in the creation?/ Into heaven? Thy abode is there./ Into hell? Thou hast trampled upon death./ Into the uttermost parts of the sea?/ Thy hand reaches thither, O Master./ We run to Thee and falling before Thee we pray:// O Thou, risen from the dead, have mercy upon us. Stichera for the Holy Fathers (Tone 6) 5/6 Before the ages Thou wast begotten of the womb of the Father without mother/ before the morning star;/ yet Arius calleth Thee a creature, refusing to glorify Thee as God,/ with audacity mindlessly confusing Thee, the Creator, with a creature,/ laying up for himself fuel for the everlasting fire./ But the Council in Nicaea proclaimed Thee to be the Son of God,// Who art equally enthroned with the Father and the Spirit. 7/8 Wisely did ye mend the robe of Christ/ which had been rent and torn by the jaws of dogs, O honoured fathers,/ unable to endure the sight of His nakedness,/ as of old Shem and Japheth could not bear to see their father’s nakedness./ And ye put to shame the mindlessness of those of like mind with Arius,// the namesake of wrath. -
Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night)

Reader: Amen. Glory to Thee, O God; glory to Thee! While the following prayers are being read, the priest censes the altar, the sanctuary, and the people.

THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms
THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms Akathist Literally, “not standing.” A hymn dedicated to our Lord, the Theotokos, a saint, or a holy event. Aposticha The stichera sung with psalm verses at the end of Vespers and Matins. These differ from the stichera at Psalm 140 (Vespers) and at the Praise Psalms (Matins), which are sung with fixed psalms, in that the psalm verses used (pripivs) vary with the day or feast, and do not end the singing of the whole psalm. See also stichery na stichovnych. Archieratikon Тhе book containing texts and rubrics for the solemn Hierarchical (a.k.a. Pontifical) Divine Liturgy. The Archieratikon also contains the sacrament of Ноlу Orders and special blessings and consecrations. Canon A system of nine odes (the Second Ode is sung only during Great Lent) sung at Matins after Psalm 50 and before the Praises. Each ode is connected traditionally with a scriptural canticle (see below for the nine scriptural canticles) and consists of an Irmos, a variable number of troparia and, on feasts, a katavasia. After the Third Ode a sidalen is usually sung, and after the Sixth Ode a kontakion and ikos, and after the Ninth Ode, the Svitelen is sung. The Canon has its own system of eight tones. Domatikon A theotokion sung after “Now…” (or “Glory… Now…”) at the end of Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116 at Vespers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on the eve of a Polyeleos saint or saints with a vigil in the same tone as the last sticheron of the saint (at “Glory…”). -
Liturgy As Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness Through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos
Sacred Heart University DigitalCommons@SHU Catholic Studies Faculty Publications Catholic Studies 2020 Liturgy as Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos Stephen M. Meawad Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.sacredheart.edu/cath_fac Part of the Christian Denominations and Sects Commons, Environmental Studies Commons, and the Ethics in Religion Commons 1 Stephen M. Meawad Liturgy as Ethicizer: Cultivating Ecological Consciousness through a Coptic Orthodox Liturgical Ethos 1 – Introduction Eastern Orthodox Christianity’s recent expression of its ecological concern has been vast and strong, evidenced by its designation of September 1st as a day of prayer for the “protection of the environment” and also through the scholarly contributions of more than a dozen theologians and religious figures, including Patriarch Bartholomew, Elizabeth Theokritoff, and John Chryssavgis.1 Much of this witness can and does extend to Oriental Orthodoxy in numerous respects.2 Among others, some examples include similarities in the doctrine of creation, proper relation to non-human animals, spiritual degradation as a precursor to ecological degradation, and extending love of neighbor to include all of creation. Yet, analyzing ways that other families of Orthodoxy conceive of the relationship between ecology and theology—a promising endeavor—has remained largely untapped contemporarily. This project will examine the liturgical ethos of the Coptic Orthodox Church and how this ethos is effective in creating self-sustaining, ecologically aware communities. A more comprehensive version of this project would develop what might be called a politeia (behavior or ethos of a given community) of the Coptic Orthodox Church that would include monasticism and asceticism; fasting; agriculture and co-stewardship; and self-sustenance. -
Constructing the Underground Community: the Letters of Theodore the Studite and the Letter of Emperors Michael Ii and Theophilos to Louis the Pious
Vladimir Baranov Novosibirsk, Russia [email protected] CONSTRUCTING THE UNDERGROUND COMMUNITY: THE LETTERS OF THEODORE THE STUDITE AND THE LETTER OF EMPERORS MICHAEL II AND THEOPHILOS TO LOUIS THE PIOUS The Le er of the Iconoclastic Emperors Michael II and Theophilos to Louis the Pious1 (dated to 824) contains a list of off ences that were allegedly commi ed by the Iconodules against what they considered the right practices of the Church. Their list includes the substitution of images in churches for crosses, taking images as godparents, using images to perform the cu ing of children’s hair and monastic habit, scraping paint of images to be added to the Eucharist or distributing the Eucharistic bread from the hands of images, as well as using panel images as altars for serving the Liturgy in ordinary houses and church- es.2 Of course, these might have been easily treated as fi ction and pro- (1) Emperor Theophilus (b. 812/813) was crowned co-Emperor in 821 by his Father Michael II (820–829), and this is why his name appears on the Let- ter. However, since in 824 he was only a 12-year old boy, for the Le er I will use the short title “Le er of Michael II.” (2) The Le er is preserved in the MGH, Leg. Sect. III, Concilia, tomus II, pars 2, Concilia aevi Karolini I (Hannover—Leipzig, 1908, repr. 1979) 475–480; Mansi, XIV, 417–422; the pertinent passage is translated in C.

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. -
Glossary of Liturgical Terms
Glossary of Liturgical Terms Alleluia. (See Prokeimenon.) Antiphons. The first three hymns sung at the Divine Liturgy (Ps. 103; Ps. 146 and Only-begotten Son... the Beatitudes) are called Antiphons (steps) because they are sung in steps or stages by two Choirs singing opposite each other. Hence this type of singing in steps is called antiphonal. Apostikha. These are Stikhera accompanied by verses usually taken from the Psalms. The Apostikha is found at the end of Vespers and also at the end of Matins on ordinary weekdays. Canon. The Canon is a series of nine Canticles (or Odes) containing a number of Troparia in each, as well as a Theme Song (Irmos). The Canons are found at Matins, Compline, and certain other services in the Liturgical Cycle. Originally the nine Biblical Canticles were sung and short refrains inserted between each verse of the Canticle, but in time the Canticles themselves dropped out of general usage (except during Great Lent) and only the Theme Song (or Irmos), based on the theme of the original Canticle, and the refrains (now expanded) remained. The Second Ode is sung only as part of the Lenten Cycle and a tenth Biblical Canticle, the Magnificat is almost always sung after the Eighth Ode of the Canon. Dogmatic. This is a musical composition sung at Vespers and are so named because they speak of the dogma of the Two Natures of Christ. Ikos. This is a short composition that follows the Kontakion, between the Sixth and Seventh Odes of the Canon. Irmos. This is the Theme Song of each Ode of the Canon.
