  • 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.

  • Gidni 2 History and Cultural Mentalities Gala Galaction
    GIDNI 2 HISTORY AND CULTURAL MENTALITIES GALA GALACTION - AVATARS OF A UNIVERSITY CAREER Florin Onica, PhD Student, ”Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract:The manner of selection and integration of academic elite is a privileged element of analysis, because it gives us the amount of reasons which terminate in cooptation or rejecting of an individual. These preconditions are quite ambiguous and they also canceled in practice the existence of an unique model of promotion. And the look has generated numerous conflicts that have taken place within the academic world, becoming true public „scandals”, polemical subjects which often has put in discussion the very validity of the principle of meritocracy. Therefore it seems necessary to distinguish for each case some of the mechanisms that have acted in this direction. „Case” Galaction becomes relevant in this context, in order to enlighten what it means becoming professor after 16 years of waiting and encourages questions and seek answers grievous to be made when it comes to personality of this magnitude. Keywords:professor, education, academic career, history of elites, theology. Gala Galaction offers us the example of a man honest with himself, even with the risk of beseeming a misfit against the tendencies of the epoch he lived in. The characteristics of his inedited profile, often perceived as a mixture of contrasts, can be carved from the physical and spiritual portraits of the characters he created. Famous for his literary writings and especially for having translated the Bible, priest Gala Galaction (Grigorie Pișculescu) has had an interesting and lesser known academic career. Rebuilding the diverse sequential aspects of his collegiate path will contribute to the reconstruction of the whole, comprising the light and dark sides inherent to any biography.

  • The Amomos in the Byzantine Chant: a Diachronical Approach with Emphasis on Musical Settings of the 19Th and 20Th Centuries
    DOI: 10.2478/ajm-2018-0002 Artes. Journal of Musicology no. 17-18 2018 24-73 The Amomos in the Byzantine chant: a diachronical approach with emphasis th th on musical settings of the 19 and 20 centuries DIMOS PAPATZALAKIS Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Greece∗ Abstract: The book of the Psalms constitutes the main source from where the Offices of the Orthodox church draw their stable parts. It has been diachronically one of the most used liturgical books of the cathedral and the monastic rite. In this paper we focus on the Psalm 118, which is well known under the designation “Amomos”. In the first part of our study we look for the origin of the book of the Psalms generally. Afterwards we present the Offices in which the Amomos is included, starting from the Byzantine era and the use of the Amomos in the cathedral and the monastic services. Then, we negotiate the question of its use in the post-Byzantine era. In the next section we quote the most important settings of the Byzantine, post-Byzantine and new- Byzantine composers in Constantinople, Smyrna and Thessaloniki, as well as some evidence of their lives and their musical works. In the next section we introduce some polyprismatic analyses for the verses of the first stanza of the Amomos, which are set to music in 19th and 20th centuries. After some comparative musicological analyses of the microform of the compositions or interpretations, we comment on the music structure of the settings of Amomos in their liturgical context. Our study concludes with some main observations, as well as a list of the basic sources used to write this paper.

  • Proposal to Encode the Typikon Symbols in Unicode
    PONOMAR PROJECT Proposal to Encode the Typikon Symbols in Unicode Yuri Shardt, Aleksandr Andreev L2/09-310 L2/09-310 1 In Church Slavonic documents, for example, in the Orthodox Typikon, one encounters 4 common symbols that are used designate the rank of an ecclesiastical commemoration. Depending on the publisher and local convention, these symbols can be placed within the text or in the margins. Since these symbols are often found in Slavonic Church books, these symbols will be encoded in the “Extended Cyrillic Block B” of the Unicode standard. Based on the information in Chapter 47 of the Orthodox Typikon ( (Тѷпікон сіесть´ Ѹ҆ставъ (Tipikon siject' Ustav), 1954), (Тѷпікон сіесть´ Ѹ҆ставъ (Tipikon sijest' Ustav), 1965)) and local convention, the desired symbols, their characteristics, and proposed encoding region are described in Table 1. Two examples of Chapter 47 of the Typikon are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2. As well, extracts from the Orthodox Menologion, where theses symbols are used to rank the commemorations, are given in Figure 3 and Figure 4. As can be seen from the sample publications, these symbols can occur anywhere in the line. Table 1: Summary of the Proposed Typikon Symbols for Encoding Typical Typikon Proposed Name Proposed Location Comments Symbol Typikon Symbol U + A674 The cross need not be Great Feast the same as the cross in the Typikon ⛐ Symbol Polyeleos.

    CONSTANTIN SCHIFIRNEŢ ORTHODOXY, CHURCH, STATE, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF TENDENTIAL MODERNITY Constantin Schifirneţ National School of Political and Administrative Studies, Department of Communication and Public Relations, Bucharest, Romania. Email: [email protected] Abstract: The article analyzes the interaction of Orthodoxy and the state and its role in asserting national identity in the context of Romania’s modernization process. I have developed the concept of tendential modernity for studying the distinctive nature of Romanian modernity Modernity in Romania focused primarily on national and geostrategic problems, due to the absence of a state encompassing all Romanians. The Orthodox Church had been recognized as a symbol of national identity, therefore it was included among the basic institutions that would support the national project, in order to serve the new purposes imposed by modernity. In the context of the modernization process undergone by Romanian society, the church is not separated from the state, but becomes a church of the state, a church whose prerogatives are established by the secular power; thus the church is defined as an institution that is embedded in the process of modern change decided by the state. As a matter of fact, modernity itself was ambivalent and ambiguous, which influenced decisively the role of Orthodoxy in the assertion of Romanian identity. Key Words: church, national identity, orthodoxy, religion, state, tendential modernity Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies, vol. 12, issue 34 (Spring 2013): 173-208 ISSN: 1583-0039 © SACRI Constantin Schifirneţ Orthodoxy, Church, State, and National Identity Introduction This article analyzes the relationship between religion and modernity in a society that underwent a type of modernization process which is different from the one experienced in the developed societies1.

The Matins there are a few general rules, which follow. service, served by the priest, deacon and chanters, offers both praise to God and instruction to the worshipers. The reason the weekend cycle of services (Vespers, Matins and Divine Liturgy) changes every week is that there are two If he has not already done so, during Matins the priest prepares overlapping, intersecting systems of commemoration. The first, the gifts (bread and wine) for the Divine Liturgy while praying commemorated every weekend, is the Resurrection of Christ. for those who have offered the bread, those whose There are eight sets of Resurrectional hymns, corresponding to commemoration is requested, the local church, and the the eight tones, each of which concentrates on a different aspect universal Church.
