  • 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…”).

  • January Menaion
    Byzantine Monthly Menaion Volume Five: January Metropolitan Cantor Institute Byzantine Catholic Seminary Pittsburgh, PA Foreword A Menaion is a liturgical book which contains the changeable parts of Byzantine divine services for a given month. The volume in your hands is the fourth of a series of twelve books for use in Byzantine Catholic parishes. Each day is provided with the following material: (1) Synaxarion (brief life of the saints remembered) (2) Troparia and Kontakia (3) Prokeimena and Alleluiaria (4) Communion Hymn. On major feasts, the proper antiphons (when there are any) and the Magnification and Irmos (appointed to take the place of It is truly proper) are also included. Texts which are contained in the Faithful’s Book published by the Byzantine Catholic Church are reproduced with their musical settings from that book. Those texts were translated by the Inter-Eparchial Liturgical Commission, and then set to plainchant by the Inter-Eparchial Music Commission. Many of the Troparia contained in this volume of the Menaion are, in fact, common texts (i.e., they are used on more than one feast). These texts, too, come from the work of the IELC/IEMC, as are all the Prokeimena and Alleluiaria and Communion Hymns. The texts of the Troparia and Kontakia that are not from the above-mentioned source are almost always taken from the Order of Matins published by the Sisters of the Order of Saint Basil the Great, and we acknowledge these texts with gratitude. This volume is intended to be used annually. Because of this, cantors must use the Typikon of the Metropolitan Church to discern how materials from the Menaion are to be combined with the Sunday Ochtoechos.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Kassia: a Female Hymnographer of the 9Th Century SPYROS PANAGOPOULOS
    Proceedings of the 1st International Conference of the ASBMH page 111 Kassia: A female hymnographer of the 9th century SPYROS PANAGOPOULOS Introduction For over 1.000 years many men and a few women wrote hymns in Byzantium. Their contribution to world literature and to Greek letters constitutes a vast and priceless treasure of sacred poetry. It’s impossible to exaggerate the value of this hymnography, since it expresses, as nothing else can, the spiritual riches, faith and beauty of Eastern Christendom. Some of these hymns are still chanted today in many languages in Orthodox Churches in every part of the world. Others remain unknown. Hidden in manuscripts stored in monastic libraries, they wait to be discovered and to be edited.78 It’s obvious that the Byzantine female hymnography was not flourished especially in Byzantium. We have the names of hundreds male hymnodists who came from all parts of the oikoumene, from Greece, Italy, Palestine, and Syria, as well as from the islands of Cyprus, Crete and Sicily. These hymnodists came of all classes of Byzantine society, from the obscure man who signed his hymn ὁ ἀμαρτωλός (the sinner) to the Emperor Justinian (527‑565), who wrote in imperial red ink the troparion ὁ μονογενὴς υἱός, and then ordered its insertion into the Divine Liturgy. Despite the great number of male hymnodists, we know only six feminine names that composed hymns: Γρηγορίς, Μάρθα, Θεοδοσία79, Θέκλα80, Κασσία and Παλαιολογίνα.81 The fame of Kassia the Melodist outshines by far all other women writers in both medieval and Modern Greek writers. 78 For an introduction in Bzyantine Hzmnography there is a vast bibliography.

  • Explanation of NWO Typikon Co-Project
    Towards the construction of a catalogue of Byzantine liturgical codices (NWO dossier number IG-10-005) Clarification of the central research question and focus of the proposed project In the following note we will set out the central research problem to be tackled by the two year preparatory trajectory that is to lead to an International catalogue of Byzantine liturgical codices programme. What is the central research focus? 1. The main aim of the research project to be developed is to catalogue the Byzantine liturgical manuscripts (the codex forms Typikon; Euchologion; Horologion; Triodion; Pentekostarion; Menaia, etc.). We are currently already seriously approaching codicological research of the Byzantine New Testament and hermeneutic manuscripts, in the form of an international, interdisciplinary cataloguing project based on new codico-liturgical parameters which takes into consideration and does fully justice to the character of the codices as well as to the liturgical settings for which by far the majority of them were intended. Given the importance of the liturgy and the overlap between the Biblical and the liturgical manuscripts it is strongly felt by the current research group and by other voices from the field, that a cataloguing focus now also on the liturgical codices is essential to strengthen this research effort. 2. The leading focus of the research is that the codicological forms of the Byzantine manuscripts that accommodate biblical, patristic and liturgical texts (the way the codices are structured as far as their content is concerned), are closely related to the liturgical function and purpose of the texts incorporated therein. This function has to date not been methodologically approached.
