I. General survey
During the first decade of the 21st century, Byzantine Musical Studies
came to an extraordinary flourishing in Greece, Romania and many other places. Along with the older generations of scholars, many young specialists from
all over the world contributed to this new blossoming3. To the main features of
this period belong the intense international scientific dialogue among scholars
within the field of Byzantine Musicology, the enhanced access to manuscript
sources and bibliography, the cultivation of a fruitful collaboration between
musicologists and chanters, as well as new and/or renewed dynamic openings
towards interdisciplinary and interarts studies (Byzantine Music and Liturgics,
Phonology, Sociology, Politics, Ethnomusicology, Anthropology, Informatics,
Mathematics, Acoustics, Medicine, Iconography a.o.)4.
In this time-span, experts of the older generation have been honored
with Festschriften5 and other distinctions. During the last nine years, the beloved scholars Titus Moisescu, Bjarne Schartau, Milo Velimirovi, Elena
Toneva and Father Alexie Buzera passed to eternal life, leaving a strong
legacy in the field of Byzantine Musical Studies and in our hearts and minds:
!
The scientific and artistic production of the last ten years in the field
of Byzantine Musical Studies comprises books, articles, lectures, CDs, videos,
didactic material, internet sites concerning the music of the Byzantine era,

but also its continuation during post-Byzantine and newer times, as well as
its interaction with other musical cultures. Therefore, this paper tries to give
a brief account of the multiple facets of contemporary bibliography on Byzantine Music, which refers not only to its origins and development up to 1453,
but also to its transmission and world-wide irradiation until today.
To the favorite fields of research in Byzantine Musicology during the
last decade belong, among others, the following ones6:
a) Codicology, with the completion of many new analytical catalogues
of Byzantine musical manuscripts (e.g. Gr. Stathis: Meteora; D. Touliatos:
Greek National Library in Athens; D. Balageorgos/Fl. Kritikou: Sinai, vol.
I; E. Giannopoulos: England, Andros a.o.; A. Chaldaiakis: Island Hydra; O.
Alexandrescu/D. Suceava: Bucharest, Romanian Academy; rev. Fl. Bucescu
& alii: Moldavia; .-. Wanek, Studies on the Musical Manuscripts of the
Austrian National Library; A. Athanassov: Bulgaria; D. Bucca: Messina),
and with an important evolving bibliographical project-database about publications containing photographs of Byzantine musical manuscripts, by I.
Papathanasiou/G. Rousopoulos/N. Boukas7. Several projects of digitalization
of Byzantine musical manuscripts and early prints, either at the level of institutions8 or of personal initiatives, prepared a new platform of information
resources for Byzantine musical studies.
b) Palaeography, with the investigation of papyri and other written
documents of the first Christian millennium (I. Papathanasiou/N. Boukas,
Chr. Troelsgrd, Sv. Kujumdzieva), with a wealth of articles about ekphonetic
notation (S. Martani), with the publishing of a new handbook about MiddleByzantine neumes in the Subsidia series of the famous Monumenta Musicae
Byzantinae (Chr. Troelsgrd), with systematic investigations on the phenomenon of musical exegesis and adiacent problematics of transnotation and transcription of Byzantine Chant into sta notation, and with the uncovery of a
complete set of principles for a syllabic way of interpretation in binary meter,
mainly for the old, classical Byzantine repertory of the Heirmologion and
Sticherarion (I. Arvanitis)9.
c) Melismatic chant, with the investigation of composers of the Palaeologan period, analysis of kalophonic pieces, as well as research on the
liturgical place of melismatic chant, both in Byzantine and Slavonic traditions
(Chr. Demetriou, A. Lingas a.o.)10.
d) Morphology-Analysis is a rapidly growing field during the last
decade in Musicology in general. Byzantine chant attracted the attention of
many analysts in this period, resulting in a multitude of new, original approaches (see e.g. S. Despotis: internal tension-release, isokratema; D. Spanoudakis: relation between old and new notation, at the level of the temporal
evolution of the average pitch of Byzantine stichera, a.o.)11.
e) History and Historiography of Byzantine Music, with an impressive
number of monographs, mostly about dierent categories of chant (see e.g. in
90

/ Bulgarian Musicology34/2012
the series Meletai of the Institute of Byzantine Musicology, ed. Gr. Stathis:
about Cheroubika: K. Karagounis; Polyeleoi: A. Chaldaiakis; Megalynaria: S.
Mazera; Akathistos: Fl. Kritikou a.o.)12.
f) Investigation of performance practices of ecclesiastic chant belonging to the Byzantine, post-Byzantine and newer times, both on historical (N.
Moran, Ev. Spyrakou a.o.), on actual theoretical and practical (G. Konstantinou, D. Delviniotis a.o.), as well as on artistic levels (ensembles like Cappella Romana [A. Lingas], Agiopolitis [I. Arvanitis], Romeiko [G. Bilalis]
a.o.)13.
g) Systematic inquiry of local traditions in past and present (see e.g.
E. Giannopoulos: Krete; I. Liakos: Thessaloniki; rev. V. Grjdian & alii: paradigmatic multi-media report on chanting tradition in Southern Transylvania; G. Garofalo, Rev. J. Pecoraro: Arbresh; A. Lingas, J. M. Boyer: America
a.o., as well as the important series of publications concerning early slavonic
hymnography, edd. Chr. Hannick a.o., in the series Patristica Slavica of the
Nordrhein-Westflische Akademie der Wissenschaften und Knste)14.
h) Aspects of the shaping-process of ecclesiastic music according to
Byzantine models in dierent modern languages (English, French, Finnish
a.o.)15.
i) Evolution of the music-theoretical thought and its interrelations with
musical practice16.
j) Discography, with the golden phonothque of solistical interpretations of Greek church music, edited by M. Chatziakoumis, as well as with
plethora of new productions by the famous ensembles Greek Byzantine
Choir (L. Angelopoulos), The Maistors of Psaltic Art (Gr. Stathis, A. Chaldaiakis), and by more recently or even newly founded professional choirs
in Greece, Romania, Serbia a.o. (e.g. Trikkis Melodoi [D. Mpalaegeorgos],
Tropos [K. Angelidis], Thessalonikeis Ymnodoi [I. Liakos], Idymelon [I.
Tsamis], Philathonitai [D. Manousis], Psalmodia [Arhid. S. Barbu-Bucur],
Stavropoleos [Deacon G.C. Oprea], Byzantion [A. Srbu], Nectarie Protopsaltul [V. Gheorghe, Sabin Preda], Sveta Kasijana [Sara Peno] and many
others)17.
k) Secular Byzantine Music and Classical Oriental Music, with important monographs about the Byzantine musical instruments (N. Maliaras), and
about the extant sources mainly of post-Byzantine secular music (K. Kalaitzidis), as well as with the prolific scientific and artistic work of associations and
ensembles like En Chordais (K. Kalaitzidis), Anton Pann (C. Rileanu), and
their collaborations with famous musicians from the Near and Middle East18.
This development goes together with an intensive educational process
in the field of Byzantine Musical Studies, during regular terms and in summer (masterclasses), at universities, academies, conservatories and other establishments on the Balkan (with expanded curricula during the last decade),
in Copenhagen, England, America, Australia, Finland, Russia a.o.19

Maria AlexandruNew Approaches and Pivotal Thematics in Byzantine Musical Studies...


The church and dierent organs like the Institute of Byzantine Musicology, Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, A.A. Brediusstichting, Centrul de Studii
Bizantine Iai, American Society of Byzantine Music and Hymnology, International Society for Orthodox Church Music, International Musicological Society,
Fondazione Giorgio Cini a.o. sustained the blossoming of Byzantine Musical
Studies during the last decade, through the organization of important international conferences dedicated entirely to Byzantine Chant, or with several sessions/papers about Byzantine Music, in dierent parts of the world (Athens,
Copenhagen, Hernen, Iai, Joensuu, Thessaloniki, Vienna, Venice and many
other places)20. The aforementioned biannual conferences in Joensuu and those
in Vienna under the title Theorie und Geschichte der Monodie (M. Pischlger, M.
Czernin), attended also by many scholars from Russia and other slavophonic
and eastern countries, contributed essentially to the fruitful exchange of ideas,
experiences and research methods of scientific and artistic worlds which had
been previously almost separated for many decennies.
To the new fora opened during the last decade for the promotion of
Byzantine Musical Studies belong also the scientific periodicals Acta Musicae
Byzantinae (Centrul de Studii Bizantine Iai, edd. Tr.& G. Ocneanu), Melurgia
(Thessaloniki, ed. A. Alygizakis), Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music (Joensuu, edd. Rev. I. Moody & M. Takala-Roszczenko),
Kalophonia (edd. Chr. Hannick, Petro Galadza & alii, Lviv & Wrzburg) a.o.
In the following part of this article, a list of books, papers and CDseries relevant for Byzantine Musical Studies, which have been produced/
issued during the last decade, as well as some useful internet sites are given.
The list cannot have any pretention of completeness, but rather represents
open registers giving no more than a hint at the extraordinary wealth of research directions and themes in Byzantine Musical Studies during the last
decade, and being welcome for multiple additions both as to the thematical
cycles, as well as to the names and titles mentioned. The dierent thematic
cycles should not be viewed as exclusive boxes, but rather as elastic and interactive unities. For the sake of conciseness, titles are mentioned once, even if
many of them could fit into other thematic cycles as well21.

13.2. Discography-Discology of Byzantine Music27
Note: During the last decade, an impressive number of high-quality
recordings with Byzantine Music have been produced in Greece, Romania
140

/ Bulgarian Musicology34/2012
and many other countries. Also, many historical recordings from the first
part of the 20th century have been reedited digitally. It is beyond the scope
and frame of this paper to give a complete register of them. Below, some major CD-series accompanied by musicological studies, as well as papers concerning the Discology of Byzantine Music are mentioned:
13.2.1. Recordings:
{1999- open series} ,
. .
, & , 2000/2001
(booklet containing informations about three series of recordings: Monuments
of Ecclesiastic Music [publications since 2000-], Miscellanea of Ecclesiastic Music
[publications since 1999-], Archive of Ecclesiastic Music). The grandiose project
consists of professional recordings (about 200 CDs scheduled, recording-work
begun already in the 1980ies) of famous Greek Church singers, with a repertory covering a wide range of chant categories, mainly of the post-Byzantine
and newer period, in traditional solistic interpretations with isokratema. The
recordings are accompanied by booklets containing the scores, as well as historical, biographical, analytical and hermeneutical comments on the respective composers, singers, pieces and performances. See e.g. M. X,

III. Epilogue
Byzantine Musical Studies have advanced immensely during the last
decade. Still, many wonderful work remains to be done in the future. Some
of the major desiderata would be:
the continuation of the work on the preparation of analytical
catalogues of the extant sources of Byzantine music and their conversion into
a database
the professional training of new, capable musicologist especially in the
field of Psaltic Art and of Palaeography of Byzantine music, and, more generally,
the further improvement of education in the field of Byzantine Musical Studies
the edition of analytical catalogues (Werkverzeichnisse) and of the
opera omnia of main composers from the Byzantine and post-Byzantine period
the continuation of critical editions of the extant music-theoretical
treatises in the important series Corpus Scriptorum de Re Musica of the MMB
the further development in the field of morphology and musicological
analysis of Byzantine chant
the exploration of the newly opened paths of interdisciplinary and
interarts research a.o.
We can observe with joy and gratitude that the music defined by
Gabriel Hieromonachos during the 15th cent. as the science about rhythms
and melodies used in the divine hymns31 represents today a dynamic
discipline of high relevance for both contemporary sciences and arts.

movement. Modern music philology has made up for lost time in the past, as to the
method and the interdisciplinary connections. This recent recovery has enriched the
perspectives and has achieved important results in dierent fields: textual bibliography, authors reworking, variants studies, trends and cross-connections between
tradition and reception; material philology, study of music notations (), interaction between orality and writing and its influence on the tradition of music texts.:

http:riviste.paviauniversitypress.it/index.php/phi/issue/view/47 (5.1.2011)). Within the frame of Byzantine Musical Studies, the notion of Musical Philology could
be used as to embrace the study of notations (old and new), together with issues
concerning the closely related domains of performance practice, tradition and its
ramifications, interactions between oral and written transmission of chant repertories, technique & art of exegesis, styles & layers of embellishments, abbreviations,
isokratema, paradigms of polyphony, transcriptions and transnotations, editorial
techniques (for musical pieces and music-theoretical texts).

29 During the last decade, the internet became almost a sine qua non for Byzantine Musical Studies. However, the fluctuation in the degree of reliability of the information found on various sites of the web, already observed also for other domains
of Byzantine culture, should make students of Byzantine Music careful in the use of
this so important tool. See Vicky Foskolou, Byzantium on the Web: New Technologies at the Service of Museums and Educational Institutions for the Presentation of
Byzantine Culture, BZ, 100.2 (2008), pp. 629-636.
