Concerning Adaptation
CCURATE liturgical translations rarely have the same meter as the original
text. As a result, either the original melody must change to accommodate
the new pattern of accented and unaccented syllables, or the words must be
forced into a melody that was designed for a different text. When the original melody is not well known, most people would agree that the original
melody should be discarded and a new melody composed. When, however, the original melody
is known and loved by many, most people prefer a musical arrangement of the text that resembles the original melody to a certain degree. Opinions vary as to what degree this should be.
To illustrate different degrees of preserving the original melody, we shall compare various
arrangements for the initial words of the Vespers psalm verse Lord, I have cried (
) in sticheraric first mode. The version of this that is considered by most to be the
original melody is found in the Anastasimatarion of Petros the Peloponnesian (d. 1777) as
published by Ioannis the Protopsaltis (d. 1866), which begins as follows:
Concerning Adaptation
The first adaptation we shall analyze is taken from the Divine Liturgy Hymnal,1 commonly
known in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America as the green book.
This example has the advantage of preserving the original melody2 so well that both the
English and the Greek could be used in the same score. It has the disadvantage, though, of unnecessarily repeating the phrase to You. Another problem with this setting is that the melody
for the first instance of the word Lord breaks the formulaic rules of composition for Byzantine music that dictate which melodic lines may be used to match a particular syllabic pattern.
The melody for the phrase me O Lord is a standard formula in Byzantine music. However,
placing the word O on the wrong note betrays either an ignorance of or disrespect towards
the traditional application of this formula. Breaking the formulaic rules is a problem not only
ideologically (in that such compositions cannot be considered a valid continuation of the tradition of Orthodox chantwhich, as the musicologist Dimitri Conomos has pointed out, is the
only music in world history that has a continuous 1500-year unbroken melodic tradition) but

This arrangement is actually a transcription of the melody written by John Sakellaridis in his book
presented below, which differs only slightly from the melody by Ioannis the Protopsaltis on the previous page.

xi
also aesthetically, becauseto quote Conomos againthese age-old chants, especially preserved on Mount Athos, bear a relevance and a beauty that is unmatched by other, later productions. Besides, melodies that break these rules usually sound awkward even to the untrained
ear, due to an unbalanced match between words and melody.
The second example is taken from the Anastasimatarion: Resurrectional Hymnal,3 which
contains music composed by Hieromonk Seraphim Dedes.
This second example also has advantages and disadvantages similar to the first example.4
In particular, the text has been adjusted to fit the melody better (the phrase hear me is repeated a total of six times whereas the original version of the hymn uses this phrase only four
times). The melody also stretches the formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition: a melodic phrase requiring three syllables was used for the two syllables Lord I and cried un-.
This example differs from the first example in that the melody has been slightly changed to fit
the text better. Namely, the one-beat rest following the martyria was used instead of an ison.
An advantage of this example is that it is written in a traditional notation of the Orthodox
Church. We have enumerated the reasons why Byzantine music notation is superior to Western
notation in an essay at: http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/NotationB.htm
The next example on the following page was written by David Melling of blessed memory,
a Byzantine musicologist in England.
Anastasimatarion: Resurrectional Hymnal, Great Vespers of Saturday Evening, Byzantine Music in Greek and
English, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, Brookline, 2004, p. 1.
4
It should be pointed out, though, that this publication does not always preserve the original melodies unchanged.
Usually the original melodies have been adjusted to a greater degree in order to match the English text better.
xii
Concerning Adaptation
This adaptation has preserved the original melody essentially unaltered, as did the previous
two examples. But this version differs from them in that it does not repeat words that are not
repeated in the original. Since, however, the Greek text has more syllables than the English
translation, some words in this version have been extended over a dozen notes. Although such a
phenomenon does occur occasionally in the sticheraric genus of hymns, it only happens with
particular melodic lines. The melodic lines in this adaptation, however, would always be used
with more syllables in regular Byzantine music.
The fourth example is taken from page one of this book:
Concerning Adaptation
xiii
This fourth example has advantages and disadvantages different than the first three examples. Its primary disadvantage is that the original melody has not been preserved. A further disadvantage of this example is that it is in Western notation.5 Its advantages, though, are that the
text has not been tampered with in order to mimic the syllabic pattern of the original hymn in
Greek, and the melody has been molded to match the text in perfect compliance with the formulaic rules of Byzantine music.
The following adaptation is by John Michael Boyer, the Protopsaltis of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco, who studied Byzantine chant in Greece under the Archon
Protopsaltis Lycourgos Angelopoulos:
This adaptation is nearly identical to the previous example, even though the two were
composed independently. The only melodic difference occurs on the first word. This adaptation
also complies fully with the formulaic rules of Byzantine music and is flawless in terms of orthography. Another obvious difference between this and the previous version is that the latter is
written in Byzantine notation and includes the oxeia that Simon Karas recommended reintroducing and the markings for syneptygmenos rhythm.
The next example is from the Byzantine Music Project by Dr. Basil Kazan of blessed
memory:
We decided to publish the music of this book first in Western notation despite its drawbacks, since the vast majority of chanters today know only Western notation. God willing, in the near future we will present the same
troparia also in Byzantine notation.
xiv
Concerning Adaptation
This adaptation combines the advantages and disadvantages of the previous examples. In
some places (in the first measure, for example), the melody has been altered to match the text
better, while in other places (e.g., in the third measure), the original melody has been preserved
at the expense of breaking the formulaic rules of Byzantine music. For example, the melody for
the two-syllable word unto is never used for two syllables in sticheraric first mode in Byzantine music in Greekbut always for only one syllable. It should be pointed out, though, that
Byzantine music in Arabic very frequently inserts extra syllables into formulae of Greek Byzantine music. Therefore, one could justifiably argue that this standard practice of theirs is not
wrong but merely represents a different tradition that is well established. Another drawback of
this adaptation is that the words that would be accentuated when reading this text aloud are not
emphasized by the melody: in the first independent clause O Lord, I have cried out unto
Thee, one would normally accentuate the words Lord, cried, and Thee. The melody,
however, emphasizes the words I and Thee.
The next example is an adaptation in English by Nancy Takis of Michigan.
Concerning Adaptation
xv
The melody of this adaptation has been altered to match the text, without distorting the text
to fit the original melody better. This example conforms well to the formulaic rules of Byzantine music except in two places where the rules have been stretched in order to imitate the
original melody better: 1) the melody for the phrase cried out to thee in the second staff is a
hybrid combination of a heirmologic formula of plagal first mode with a sticheraric formula of
first mode, and 2) the melodic phrase for the words me, O Lord in the first two measures of
the second staff is appropriate for two syllables instead of three. In order to use this melodic
phrase (known as the in the old Byzantine notation) for three syllables, the embellishment of the first note is expressly written out either as a petast with a klsma, or as an ison and
kentmata with a gorgn all above an oligon. The ramifications of this for music in Western
notation are that the melody for the first of the three syllables should be written either as four
eighth notes (on F, G, F, and E in this instance) or as a dotted eighth note followed by a sixteenth note and two eighth notes (again on F, G, F, and E). A significant advantage of this adaptation in comparison to the previous example by Kazan is that the melody emphasizes the
words that one would emphasize when reading the text aloud.
The following example is an adaptation by Kevin Lawrence of North Carolina.
xvi
Concerning Adaptation
This adaptation has successfully followed the original melody quite closely. The only difference is that in three places a quarter note has either been inserted or removed so that the
melody would match the English text better. In particular, a quarter note has been added in the
first two staves for both instances of the word O, and in the second measure of the second
staff, a dotted half note is used instead of a half note and a quarter note. An inevitable result of
preserving the original melody so well in a different language is that the formulaic rules of
Byzantine music must be broken, due to the different number of syllables in the translation.
This can be observed in the first measure of the second staff where the melody for the word
hear is associated with only one syllable instead of two. Likewise, the melody for the word
hear in the middle of the third staff would normally have two syllables, but here it has only
one. These imperfections may be considered minor since the melody does not cloud the meaning of the text by emphasizing unaccentuated syllables.
The following polyphonic setting is by Fr. James Meena of blessed memory, who was an
archpriest of the Antiochian Archdiocese of America. Although having multiple parts clouds
the modality of Byzantine music, we can still critique the arrangement by examining only the
sopranos melody.
Concerning Adaptation
xvii
This adaptation is similar to the previous example in that the original melody has been preserved quite well. This example differs in that the text has been altered to fit the music better:
the phrase to Thee have I cried in the first line is changed to I have cried unto Thee in the
third line. Likewise, the phrase hear me in the first and second lines is changed to O hear
me, hear me in the third line, thus repeating this phrase more times than it is repeated in the
original Greek. Another drawback of using the original melody nearly unaltered is that it unavoidably emphasizes unduly the word I in the second line. This arrangement also breaks the
formulaic rules by associating the two syllables have I with two consecutive quarter notes in
the first line, since the rules dictate that a single syllable with a half note belongs in this melodic phrase.
The next example is taken from the website of the Holy Transfiguration Monastery in
Brookline, Massachusetts.6
This is an adaptation of a more contemporary version of this hymn, presented on the following page taken from a book published in 1952 by Constantine Pringos, the Archon Protopsaltis of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.7

xviii
Concerning Adaptation
Comparing the two, we can see that the English adaptation has successfully captured the
flavor of the original and several of its melodic phrases. Furthermore, this transcription in
Western notation includes many of the implied embellishments of Byzantine chant. It also follows the formulaic rules perfectly, except in the beginning of the second staff where the word
me is used with a melodic phrase that is supposed to have two syllables instead of only one.
We shall now proceed to examine various adaptions of this hymn in other foreign languages. The following example is taken from an Anastasimatarion in Rumanian:8
This example is similar to the fourth and fifth examples in that the original Greek melody
has not been preserved, but the text has not been distorted, and the music follows the formulaic
rules of Byzantine music. It also follows the orthographical rules faithfully, except in one place:
Concerning Adaptation
xix
the elaphrn and the kentmata for the syllable zi in the first line should not be placed above
an oligon, since they are not followed by a descending character.
The next example is an adaptation in Spanish by Panagiotis Katsoulis from Athens, a son
of the great teacher and protopsaltis, Konstantinos Katsoulis (1930-1987):
Again, minor changes have been made to the original melody in order to match the text,
and words have not been unnecessarily duplicated. The only problem with this adaptaion is that
it contains a few orthographical errors. In particular, the vareia in the first line should be removed, vareias should be added before the two-beat apstrophoses in the second and third
lines, and the synechs elaphrn should be replaced by an yporro. Nevertheless, this adaptation faithfully follows the formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition.
The following example is an adaptation in Arabic by Mitri el-Murr (1880-1969), the Protopsaltis of the Patriarchate of Antioch, who was the first to write troparia in Arabic in Byzantine
notation:
xx
Concerning Adaptation
As with the previous example in Rumanian, we see that the original melody has been
changed to match the text, while conforming perfectly to the formulaic rules of Byzantine music. Note that only subtle changes in the melody were made so as to retain the flavor of the
original melody. There are, however, three slight orthographical inaccuracies in this adaptation:
the sndesmos in the first line should be a vareia, the antiknoma with an apl in the third line
should be replaced by a petast with a klsma, and the sndesmos in the second line should be
removed.
The next example is an adaptation in English based on the Arabic melody by Sub-Deacon
Karim El-Far of California:
Comparing this with the Arabic prototype, we see that the melody is identical, except for
the notes that have been added to account for the word O in both the first and third lines. A
drawback of preserving the original melody unchanged is evident in several places where an
unaccented word becomes musically accentuated by the melody. In particular, the words unto
and Thou in the first line and the word have in the third line are unduly emphasized by the
melody. Another drawback of not changing the original melody is that the formulaic rules have
been broken in the third line where the word Lord is extended over three notes. In terms of
orthography, this example has the same orthographical errors as the Arabic prototype. It has an
additional orthographical mistake in the first line, where the second note should be an ison preceded by a vareia, rather than an ison above a petast.
The following example is a Serbian adaptation taken from a book published in Church
Slavonic in Constantinople in 1859 by Hadji Angel Ioanov Sevlievets:
Concerning Adaptation
xxi
Here the original melody has been discarded and a new melody has been composed that
conforms perfectly to the formulaic and orthographical rules of Byzantine music. Evidently, the
prototype for this adaptation was neither the version of this hymn published by Ioannis the Protospaltis (presented on the first page of this essay) nor the original composition by Petros the
Peloponnesian, (shown below in the old notation), but most likely was the version published by
Petros Ephesios in 1820 (presented on the following page).9 This can safely be assumed since
the first six notes in both versions are identical and since both versions have a medial cadence
on .
, , , , 1820, . 1.
xxii
Concerning Adaptation
The version of this hymn by Petros Ephesios begins as follows: 10
Notice that in the manuscript on the previous page, the entire melody of the first line is repeated verbatim from the end of the second line until near the end of the third line. Although
this version also begins with the same musical phrase as the version by Ephesios, it does not
have a medial cadence on its mesos as do Ephesios and Selvievec. Therefore, it is probable that Selvievec based his melody on the version by Ephesios.
10
As an aside regarding orthography, an astute observer will notice that Petros Ephesios (d. 1840) used an oligon
for the second to last note in the first line for the syllable , whereas Ioannis the Protopsaltis (d. 1866) in the
first example of this essay used a petast in the same situation. A little-known rule of orthography dictates that an
oligon must be used in this situation. (See , ,
-, 1940, . 26, 55, or rule #2d in our compilation at: http://www.stanthonys
monastery.org/music/ByzOrthography.pdf) Further evidence that the oligon is indeed more correct is found by
examining manuscripts of the Three Teachers and their immediate disciples. For example, the following facsimilie
of a manuscript written in 1839 (MS 23501 , ,
. 1.) correctly uses the oligon:
Concerning Adaptation
xxiii
Returning to our analysis of adaptations in foreign languages, the next example we shall
examine is another version in Church Slavonic. This one is taken from a recent publication11 in
Bulgaria which is a reprint of a book published in 1872 in Constantinople:12
The melody in this example differs in only a few places from the melody in the other example in Church Slavonic. In both of them the original melody has been altered in order to
match the syllabic pattern of the translation in accordance with the formulaic rules of Byzantine
music. Note that this publication continues the ancient manuscript tradition of including a decorative header, inserting an elaborate initial capital letter, and writing Byzantine notation in both
red and black (or brown) ink. This example is free of orthographical errors, but a minor typographical defect is that the font used to typeset the music puts the klsma and the gorgn too far
above the apstrophos and the yporro.13

xxiv
Concerning Adaptation
The following example is an adaptation by Andra Atlanti of France, who studied Byzantine chant in Greece under the Protopsaltis Zacharias Paschalides.
This adaptation is another example wherein the original melody was discarded so that the
melody would match the words in perfect conformity to the formulaic rules. This example also
has perfect orthography except for one minor detail: the apstrophos in the second line above
the syllable moi should have a petast beneath it.
* * *
In summary, the versions of this hymn written in countries where Byzantine chant has existed for centuries (Bulgaria, Greece, Rumania, Serbia, and Syria) have two characteristics in
common: the melody has been molded to match the text, and the text has not been tampered
with in order to fit a particular melody. On the other hand, most arrangements of this hymn
from Americawhere Byzantine chant has only recently appearedpreserve characteristics of
the original melody at the expense of the text. In particular, three compromises have been observed in such adaptations: 1) The text itself has been tampered with in order to mimic the syllabic pattern of the original hymn, 2) unaccented syllables are unduly emphasized by the melody, and/or 3) the formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition have been stretched or disregarded. One can surmise that these compromises are not found in the hymns in countries
where Byzantine chant has existed for centuries because composers with a thorough grasp of
Byzantine chant abound in such places. In America, however, where Byzantine chant is new
and expertise in it is rare, most attempts to arrange hymns have some or all of the aforementioned shortcomings. As regards orthography, we have seen that examples taken from the nine-
Concerning Adaptation
xxv
teenth century have few or no errors, whereas examples written in recent times tend to have
more orthographical errors, regardless of where they were written.
The question then arises, which arrangement is best? The answer to this subjective question will depend on what one believes to be the ideal degree of alteration for Byzantine melodies when adapting them to texts in a foreign language, and further, if one believes that the text
may be changed to mimic the syllabic pattern of the original melody. Since the melodies in this
book belong to the syllabic sticheraric and heirmologic genres, which are text-based and
text-emphatic (as opposed to the melismatic papadic genre), we believe that the goal should
be to alter or obscure the text as little as possible. Thus, our preference (in this book, at least)14
has been to follow the example set by the adaptations made in countries with a strong tradition
of Byzantine chant. In other words, we have made whatever changes necessary to the original
melody to make it match the corresponding text in complete accordance with the orthographical and formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition, without altering the text. This
singular achievement in English was made possible only by constantly referring to our compilation of these formulaic rules. We have posted them in a new webpage15 with the hope that
other composers and arrangers of Byzantine music in any language will also benefit as much as
we have by using them.
14
In our Divine Liturgies book, for some hymns we composed new melodies that would match the English text
without breaking any formulaic rules, while for other hymns we disregarded the rules in order to preserve the
original melody with few or no changes. This was intentional, because many people know the melodies of those
hymns, and they would prefer an adaptation that sounds familiar, whereas in this Vespers book, most of the troparia of the octoechos are not well known. Therefore, we preserved only the general melodic movements of each
troparion, while adapting the words to their appropriate melodic formulae. Only in the Apolytikia did we slightly
stretch the formulaic rules in order to accommodate more of the original melody.
15
See http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Formula.html
UR previous book with music for the Divine Liturgies contained both Elizabethan and
Modern English versions of each hymn. This book for Vespers, however, contains
hymns only in Elizabethan English. We decided to compose music only for this style of
English because several others have already set these hymns to music using a Modern English
translation.16 All the texts17 used for the hymns in this publication are copyrighted by the Holy
Transfiguration Monastery in Brookline, Massachusetts, and are used with their kind permission. We chose their Elizabethan English translation because many people throughout the
world hold their liturgical translations in high regard due to their precision, meter, and elegance.

In particular, Hieromonk Seraphim Dedes has set to Byzantine music all troparia of the Octoechos for Saturday
Vespers and Sunday Orthros. His works are available at: http://sgpm.goarch.org/Monastery/index.php?p=31
Others who have set these troparia to Byzantine music using a Modern English translation include: Dr. Jessica
Suchy-Pilalis, John Michael Boyer, and Andrew Gorny.

The only text in this book that is our own translation is the text for the apolytikia of the Resurrection.
Concerning Notation
VER the centuries, Byzantine music notation became increasingly more specific.1 That is
to say, later composers chose to write particular musical phrases with more notes than
those of earlier composers. In other words, the later composers wrote out ornamental formulas in full, whereas in the past, these would have been left to the skill and experience of the
chanters. This clarification did not purport to add anything new to a given melody, but rather it
spelled out the way in which the tune was intended to be chanted in order to eliminate erroneous interpretations. Even today, a chanter following Byzantine notation is still expected to
interpret a musical phrase based on the oral tradition he has inherited from his mentor. Interpreting a musical phrase entails chanting a tone with a certain lan or adding notes to a phrase.
For example, the ancient Byzantine music symbol apoderma (
), as sung in the postByzantine era, appears in modern Byzantine notation as:
0'!!!og m<C

cf. Tillyard, H.J.W., Handbook of the Middle Byzantine Musical Notation, Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae,
Subsidia 1, Fasc. 1, Copenhagen, 1935, pp. 14-16.
xxviii
Concerning Notation
Transcribed literally into Western notation, this phrase would appear simply as:
However, most chanters with even a rudimentary knowledge of the oral tradition would
perform it in the following way:
Since this book is written for people who have had little or no experience with authentic
Byzantine music and its oral traditions, an attempt has been made to include some of these interpretations by adding notes to the melody, following the example of the knowledgeable
chanters of the Holy Mountain. Sometimes these additions are simple, as in the example on the
previous page, and they do not complicate the melody particularly. In other instances, however,
these interpretations entail adding grace notes or replacing a quarter note with an eighth note
and two sixteenth notes. Such changes understandably make the music more difficult to sightread, but this is the only practical way to preserve in Western notation these embellishments,
which constitute an integral part of Byzantine music. Transcriptions that do not take into account these implied embellishments yield melodies that are a bland imitation of the original, if
they are sung as written. It is to be hoped that the abundant embellishments in this book will
not discourage people from using it, but on the contrary, we pray that the melodies beauty will
inspire Church singers to overcome the challenge. Certainly they will find the extra effort very
rewarding. Because there are only a few ornamental musical formulas that need to be learned,
the task is not as insurmountable as it may first appear to be. Those used repeatedly in this book
are shown in Appendix II to facilitate familiarization.
The ison, or tonic note, of the melody is indicated by a capital letter written above the
staff. This note is to be held until another letter above the staff changes the pitch of the ison. If
there is more than one person holding the ison, they should take breaths at different times so
that there are no breaks, even if there is a rest in the melody. Those who hold the ison may do
so in octaves, but they need to be careful not to sing louder than those performing the melody.
Ideally, ison holders should pronounce the words simultaneously with those singing the melody. However, the prevailing practice today is to hold a sustained schwa sound [] instead,
since this neutral vowel does not clash with the vowels in the sung text. The abbreviation Un.
means that the ison singers should join in unison with the melody. The ison is almost always
chanted at a pitch lower than or equal to the pitch of the melody. When the ison needs be
pitched in the lower octave only, a downward-pointing arrow follows the ison note (for example, B). An ellipsis following the ison note (for example, C) means that the ison should be
held without stopping at the upcoming rest in the melody. Since Byzantine music is not based
on absolute pitches but on the pitches of Nh-Pa-Bou (Do-Re-Mi) etc., which are relative, the
entire melody may (and should) be transposed to a pitch that fits the tessitura of the singers.
Concerning Notation
xxix
The tone Nh (Do) is always fixed at C throughout this anthology. Although this convention facilitates sight-reading, it makes several melodies too high for some people (especially for baritones and female voices) unless these melodies are transposed.
In Part II of this book (which contains music for Special Days), most hymns are provided with more than one melody. One is free to choose whichever version one feels would be
most appropriate, taking into consideration their duration and level of difficulty.
From around the fourteenth century, composers of Byzantine music have inserted meaningless consonants (such as + [n], ~ [n], and c [h]) into long, melismatic melodies. As Dr.
Conomos explains:
Two problems were solved with the introduction of these foreign sounds into the
text. First, a practical one: they had the effect of abbreviating an extended melodic
phrase into groups of a few notes, thereby making it easier for the soloist or the choir to
sing. Secondly, it solved an aesthetic problem; the consonants erased the unpleasantness of a sustained vowel and offered an incentive to the chanter to add emphasis at
certain points where the composer, scribe or psalte [i.e., chanter] thought fit.2
In transcribing the music for this book, melodies containing such consonants have been
preserved unchanged. These consonants are written in parentheses so that it is clear that they
are not a part of the words and so that those who prefer not to use them in English may omit
them.
Since there are no bar lines to signal measure breaks, each staff is treated as a separate
measure. For this reason, an accidental placed somewhere in a staff will apply for the remainder of that staff but not for the following staff. Courtesy accidentals are placed in parentheses
wherever clarification is deemed necessary.
The Byzantine music symbols that apply stress to a note (the psefiston and the vareia)
are usually transcribed by placing an accent ( > ) above the note affected. However, these
stresses in Byzantine music are usually not chanted with a significant increase in volume.
Therefore, when encountering notes with accents in this book, one must be careful not to emphasize them unduly.
The intonations (ajphchvmata) that may be chanted before a hymn have been listed in the
Appendix by number. The appropriate number for the intonation is provided only at the beginning of those hymns that Athonite chanters might precede with an intonation.
Conomos, Dimitri E., Byzantine Trisagia and Cheroubika of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries, Patriarchal
Institute for Patristic Studies, Thessaloniki, 1974, p. 264.
Rubrics
S in the standard Greek Anastasimatarion, this book has both sticheraric (slow) and
heirmologic (brief) versions of Lord, I have cried, the Stichera, and the Aposticha
troparia. On a typical Saturday evening on the Holy Mountain, the sticheraric versions of Lord, I have cried and the Stichera troparia are chanted, whereas the heirmologic versions of the Aposticha troparia are chanted. In some parishes, however, the standard practice is to chant the sticheraric versions of Lord, I have cried and the Stichera
troparia for first, second, plagal first, and plagal second modes, while the remaining modes are
chanted heirmologically.
When there is no Doxasticon appointed for the Stichera by the Menaion, Triodion, or
Pentecostarion, the verses Glory... and Both now... are chanted together in the mode of the
week, followed by the sticheraric version of the Dogmatic Theotokion in the mode of the week.
When, however, there is an appointed Doxasticon for the Stichera, it is chanted sticherarically,
preceded by the sticheraric verse Glory. Thereafter, the verse Both now is chanted in the
mode of the week, followed by the sticheraric version of the Dogmatic Theotokion in the mode
of the week.
When there is no Doxasticon appointed for the Aposticha by the Menaion, Triodion, or
Pentecostarion, the verses Glory... and Both now... are chanted together sticherarically in
the mode of the week, followed by the sticheraric version of the Aposticha Theotokion in the
mode of the week. When, however, there is an appointed Doxasticon for the Aposticha, it is
chanted sticherarically, preceded by the sticheraric verse Glory. Thereafter, the verse Both
now is chanted heirmologically in the mode of the preceding Doxasticon, followed by the
heirmologic version of the Aposticha Theotokion in the same mode.

Virtually all know the words of this psalm and they continue to sing it at every age,
without knowing, however, the sense of what has been said. This is not
a small charge, to sing something every day, putting forth
words from the mouth, without searching
out the meaning of the thoughts
residing in the words.

A psalm consoles the sad, restrains the joyful, tempers the angry, refreshes the poor
and chides the rich man to know himself. To absolutely all who take it,
the psalm offers an appropriate medicine; nor does it despise
the sinner, but presses upon him the wholesome
remedy of penitential tears.

examine how each one of the brethren stands or sings. Rather,

* On the feast days of major saints and of the Mother of God (except for the Meeting in the Temple and the Annunciation), Psalms 1, 2, and 3 are read after the Litany of Peace (before "Lord, I have cried"). Instead of being read,
they may be chanted with the traditional melody on this page, or with the briefer melody on page 583.

Sing to God, not with the voice, but with the heart; not, after the fashion of tragedians,
in smearing the throat with a sweet drug, so that theatrical melodies and songs are
heard in the church, but in fear, in work, and in knowledge of the Scriptures.
And although a man be cacophonous, if he have good works,
he is a sweet singer before God.
-St. Jerome

* It is said that John Sakellarides found this melody amongst other music manuscripts in Zakynthos. Although it is
labelled as being a melody in second mode (due to its cadences on Di and Vou), it cannot be rightly considered a
Byzantine melody, because it fails to follow the formulaic rules that genuine Byzantine music follows.

* According to some traditions, after the Blessing of the Loaves this psalmic verse is chanted three times heirmologically (i.e., briefly) with melodies such as the ones found on this and the following page. On the Holy Mountain,
however, this psalmic verse is chanted only once sticherarically (i.e., more elaborately) with melodies such as those
found on pages 652-657.

The one instrument of peace, the word alone by which we honour God, is what we employ.
We no longer employ the ancient psaltery, and trumpet, and timbrel, and flute,
which those expert in war and contemners of the fear of God
were wont to make use of also in the choruses
at their festive assemblies.

_______________________
* The Byzantine musicologist Dimitri Conomos defines a kratema as "a melodic unit of teretismata which is woven into the normal sequence of a hymn at a point, usually a cadence, where amplification is possible." According to Gregorios Stathis, the primary purpose of the kratema is to extend (kratw') the duration of a service. Early Church Fathers make reference to wordless or
meaningless chants, basing their commentaries on Is. 6:3 and Ez. 3:12. The sixth-century mystic known as Pseudo-Dionysios the
Areopagite refers to litugical music as echos of divine beauty which humans receive after its transmission descends the heavenly
hierarchy. [PG IV, 156-184]. St. Augustine refers to the ecstatic nature of wordless jubilation, and both he and St. Ieronymos identify the same with the early Christian concept of glossolalia [PL XXXVII, 1272 and PL XXVI, 970]. Commentators agree that
such praise was a human imitation of the ceaseless chants of angels. Music manuscripts show that the kratema has been in use
since at least the fourteenth century. The fact that St. John Koukouzeles wrote numerous kratemata indicates that he was a staunch
supporter of their use. St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain, however, in his commentary of Canon LXXV of the Sixth cumenical Synod, criticized the kratema and recommended that chanters avoid them so that more time will remain for the readings. In
1649, Gerasimos Monachos of Crete argued that the meaningless sounds designate the Holy Trinity and refer to the Incarnate
Condescension (based on the numerical value of the letters of terirem). The Patriarchate of Constantinople issued an encyclical
in 1880 forbidding the kratema only during the Great Entance, implying that at other times it is acceptable. In contemporary times,
the kratema is still used throughout Greece and on the Holy Mountain, as well as in some places of the Greek Diaspora where
services are conducted in Greek. For a thorough discussion in English of the kratema, see: Conomos, Dimitri E., Byzantine Trisagia and Cheroubika of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries, Patriarchal Institute for Patristic Studies, Thessaloniki, 1974, pp.
262-286.

In all places and at all seasons you may sing with the mind. For whether you walk in the
market place, or begin a journey, or sit down with your friends you may rouse up your
mind or call out silently. So also Moses called out, and God heard him. If you are
an artisan, you may sing sitting and working in your shop. If you are a soldier,
or if you sit in judgment, you may do the very same. One may also sing
without voice, the mind resounding inwardly. For we sing,
not to men, but to God, who can hear our hearts
and enter into the silences of our minds.

Sources
he music for all the hymns in this book is original and in English. As such, it has never
been chanted before on the Holy Mountain. Nevertheless, we have entitled this book
Vespers as Chanted on the Holy Mountain, because in composing this music, we
have painstakingly preserved the melodic formulae and embellishments used on the
Holy Mountain. To accomplish this, we used melodies and melodic phrases from only the following publications, which are used by contemporary Athonite monks:

Appendix
The Intonations of the Eight Modes1
ROM earliest times, composers of Byzantine chant have identified each musical mode by a
characteristic intonation formula (ajphvchma), a phrase normally sung in its entirety by the
protopsaltis (the lead chanter of the right choir) alone, without the ison. Its function is to
help the chanters recall the ethos of a given mode before beginning the chant. Moreover, it also
provides the choir with the pitch required for the first note of the piece.
In Byzantine music, there are eight modes and three modal genres: the diatonic, the enharmonic, and the chromatic.2 Furthermore, each of the eight modes is broken down into three species, characterized by the number of notes typically attached to a syllable. A melody with one or
two notes above a syllable is called heirmologikon; one carrying approximately three or four is
called sticherarikon; and that having a dozen or more notes is called papadikon. In the first
and third modes, the musical patterns are identical for each of these three species. For the others,
however, the musical gestures differ significantly; hence the need for more than one intonation
formula for each mode.
The following pages contain the typical intonation formulas of all eight modes. Since the
vocal rendition of a given intonation varies greatly from chanter to chanter, those offered here
are primarily based on the investigations of the musicologist, George Constantinou.3
Some4 believe that the syllables of the intonations derive from the following penitential
prayer (though in a slightly altered form): a[nax, a[fe", nai; a[fe", a[nax a{gie: O King, forgive,
yea forgive, O holy King.
According to current practice on the Holy Mountain, intonations, when used, are chanted
during the Divine Liturgy only before papadika melodies (such as the cherubic hymn and the
communion hymn). In some Athonite monasteries, however, intonations are never heard, while
in others they appear almost every time a modal alteration takes place.
While most Orthodox liturgical books in English translate the word h\co" as tone, it is more accurate to use the
term mode. (Vid. Harvard Dictionary of Music, Revised Edition, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1970, pp. 535,
856.)
2
Note that the term chromatic scale in Western music denotes the scale embracing twelve successive half tones to
the octave, whereas in Byzantine music, it is a modal genre with a tonic on D, flats on E and B, and sharps on F
and C. The term enharmonic in Byzantine music is synonymous with B Flat Major, whereas diatonic in Byzantine music is approximately the scale of C Major.
