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 origi-
nal 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 resem-
bles 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” (Κύριε
ἐκέκραξα) 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:
x 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 un-
necessarily 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 Byzan-
tine 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 tradi-
tion of Orthodox chant—which, 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

2
This arrangement is actually a transcription of the melody written by John Sakellaridis in his book Ἱερὰ Ὑμνῳδία
presented below, which differs only slightly from the melody by Ioannis the Protopsaltis on the previous page.
Concerning Adaptation xi
also aesthetically, because—to quote Conomos again—“these age-old chants, especially pre-
served on Mount Athos, bear a relevance and a beauty that is unmatched by other, later produc-
tions.” 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 re-
peated 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 me-
lodic 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.

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 exam-
ples. Its primary disadvantage is that the original melody has not been preserved. A further dis-
advantage 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 for-
mulaic rules of Byzantine music.
The following adaptation is by John Michael Boyer, the Protopsaltis of the Greek Ortho-
dox 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 or-
thography. 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 reintro-
ducing and the markings for syneptygmenos rhythm.
The next example is from the Byzantine Music Project by Dr. Basil Kazan of blessed
memory:
5
We decided to publish the music of this book first in Western notation despite its drawbacks, since the vast ma-
jority of chanters today know only Western notation. Since then, we have now presented 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 Byzan-
tine music in Greek—but 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 Byz-
antine 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 Byzan-
tine 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 κύλισμα in the old Byzantine notation) for three syllables, the embellish-
ment of the first note is expressly written out either as a petastē with a klásma, or as an ison and
kentēmata with a gorgón 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 six-
teenth note and two eighth notes (again on F, G, F, and E). A significant advantage of this ad-
aptation 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 dif-
ference 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 mean-
ing 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
soprano’s melody.
Concerning Adaptation xvii
This adaptation is similar to the previous example in that the original melody has been pre-
served 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 un-
avoidably 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 me-
lodic 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 fol-
lowing page taken from a book published in 1952 by Constantine Pringos, the Archon Protop-
saltis 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 fol-
lows 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 lan-
guages. 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:
8
Anastasimatarul, Sfintei Monastiri Neamţu, Bucureşti, 1943, p. 1.
Concerning Adaptation xix
the elaphrón and the kentēmata 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 re-
moved, vareias should be added before the two-beat apóstrophoses in the second and third
lines, and the synechés elaphrón should be replaced by an yporroē. Nevertheless, this adapta-
tion faithfully follows the formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition.
The following example is an adaptation in Arabic by Mitri el-Murr (1880-1969), the Proto-
psaltis 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 mu-
sic. 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 sýndesmos in the first line should be a vareia, the antikénoma with an aplē in the third line
should be replaced by a petastē with a klásma, and the sýndesmos 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 pre-
ceded by a vareia, rather than an ison above a petastē.
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 Pro-
tospaltis (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 Ζω.
9
Ἐφέσιος, Πέτρος, Νέον Ἀναστασιματάριον, ἐν Βουκορεστίῳ, 1820, σελ. 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 re-
peated 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 “Ζω” as do Ephesios and Selvievec. Therefore, it is prob-
able 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 “σα,” whereas Ioannis the Protopsaltis (d. 1866) in the
first example of this essay used a petastē in the same situation. A little-known rule of orthography dictates that an
oligon must be used in this situation. (See Οἰκονόμου Χαραλάμπους, Βυζαντινῆς Μουσικῆς Χορδή, ἐν Ἱερᾷ
Μητροπόλει Πάφου-Κύπρου, 1940, σελ. 26, §55γ, 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 Σπουδαστήριον Πρακτικῆς Θεολογίας, Πανεπιστήμιον Θεσσαλονίκης,
φ. 1α.) 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 ex-
ample 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 deco-
rative 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 typo-
graphical defect is that the font used to typeset the music puts the klásma and the gorgón too far
above the apóstrophos and the yporroē.13

music printed in 1847 in Bucharest by Nikola Triandafilov.

xxiv Concerning Adaptation
The following example is an adaptation by Andréa Atlanti of France, who studied Byzan-
tine 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 apóstrophos in the second line above
the syllable “moi” should have a petastē beneath it.
* * *
In summary, the versions of this hymn written in countries where Byzantine chant has ex-
isted 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 America—where Byzantine chant has only recently appeared—preserve characteristics of
the original melody at the expense of the text. In particular, three compromises have been ob-
served in such adaptations: 1) The text itself has been tampered with in order to mimic the syl-
labic pattern of the original hymn, 2) unaccented syllables are unduly emphasized by the mel-
ody, and/or 3) the formulaic rules of Byzantine music composition have been stretched or dis-
regarded. 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 aforemen-
tioned 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 ques-
tion will depend on what one believes to be the ideal degree of alteration for Byzantine melo-
dies 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 ortho-
graphical 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 compi-
lation 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 tropa-
ria 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.

About the Translation
O
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 permis-
sion. 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 ele-
gance.
16
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.
17
The only text in this book that is our own translation is the text for the apolytikia of the Resurrection.
Concerning Notation
T
he standard way to pronounce the word "the" in musical texts in English is to pro-
nounce its "e" as the schwa sound [ə] when followed by a consonant and as a long
"ee" sound when followed by a vowel. To help people avoid making mistakes when
chanting this word, it has been written as "thē" when followed by a vowel.
Part II of this book (which contains music for “Special Days”), provides more than one
melody for most hymns. One is free to choose whichever version one feels would be most ap-
propriate, taking into consideration their duration and level of difficulty.
Tempo marks are provided merely as guidelines; they may be altered to accommodate lo-
cal requirements.
From around the fourteenth century, composers of Byzantine music have inserted mean-
ingless consonants (such as + [n], ~ [n], and c [h]) into long, melismatic melodies. As Dr.
Conomos explains:
xxviii Concerning Notation
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 unpleasant-
ness 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 this book these consonants were usually preserved in the melodic phrases that call for
them. They 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.
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 begin-
ning of those hymns that Athonite chanters might precede with an intonation.

Rubrics
A
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 ver-
sions of “Lord, I have cried” and the Stichera troparia are chanted, whereas the heir-
mologic 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.

I think it is useful to have diversity and

variety in the prayer and psalmody at these appointed times,
because somehow the soul is frequently bored and distracted by routine,
while by change and variety of the psalmody and
prayer at each hour its desire is renewed
and its concentration restored.
—St. Basil the Great

One.___________Ì
To recite the psalms with melody is not done from a desire for pleasing sound,
but it is a manifestation of harmony among the thoughts of the soul.
And melodious reading is a sign of the well-ordered
and tranquil condition of the mind.

In the churches there are

vigils, and David is first and middle and last.
In the singing of early morning hymns David is first
and middle and last. In the tents at funeral processions David
is first and middle and last. In the houses of virgins there is weaving,
and David is first and middle and last. What a thing of wonder! Many
who have not even made their first attempt at reading know all of David by
heart and recite him in order. Yet it is not only in the cities and the churches
that he is so prominent on every occasion and with people of all ages; even in the
fields and deserts and stretching into uninhabited wasteland, he rouses sacred
choirs to God with greater zeal. In the monasteries there is a holy chorus of
angelic hosts, and David is first and middle and last. In the convents there
are bands of virgins who imitate Mary, and David is first and middle and
last. In the deserts men crucified to this world hold converse with God,
and David is first and middle and last. And at night all men are
dominated by physical sleep and drawn into the depths, and
David alone stands by, arousing all the servants of God
to angelic vigils, turning earth into heaven
and making angels of men.
—St. Chrysostom

This I say, not

only that you may yourselves
sing praises, but also that you may teach
your wives and children to do so, not merely to
lighten the work while weaving, but especially at the table.
For since Satan is wont to lie in wait at feasts, and to employ as
allies drunkenness, gluttony, immoderate laughter, and an
inactive mind; on these occasions, both before and
after table, it is especially necessary to fortify
oneself with the protection of the psalms
and, rising from the feast together
with one's wife and children,
to sing sacred hymns
to God.
—St. John Chrysostom

We believe that God
is present everywhere and that
"the eyes of the Lord look upon good men
and evil in every place"; but we must believe without
a shadow of doubt that this is especially so when we assist at
the Divine Office. Therefore, let us always be mindful of what the
prophet says: "Serve the Lord in fear"; and again, "Sing psalms wisely";
and, "I will sing to Thee in the sight of the angels." Hence we must consider
how we are to behave ourselves in the sight of the Divinity and of His angels,
and let us so stand to sing, that our mind may be in harmony with our voice.

Since human nature rejects

and avoids what is difficult, even if beneficial,
and accepts virtually nothing unless it seems to offer pleasure,
through David the Lord prepares from men this potion which is sweet
by reason of its melody and effective in the cure of disease by reason of its
strength. For a psalm is sweet to the ear, it penetrates the soul when it gives
pleasure, it is easily remembered when sung often, and what the harshness
of the Law cannot force from the minds of man it excludes by the
suavity of song. For whatever the Law, the Prophets and
even the Gospels teach is contained as a remedy
in the sweetness of these songs.
—St. Niceta of Remesiana

This I say, not only that you may yourselves sing praises, but also that you may

teach your wives and children to do so, not merely to lighten the work while
weaving, but especially at the table. For since Satan is wont to lie in wait
at feasts, and to employ as allies drunkenness, gluttony, immoderate
laughter, and an inactive mind; on these occasions, both before
and after table, it is especially necessary to fortify oneself
with the protection of the psalms and, rising from the
feast together with one's wife and children,
to sing sacred hymns to God.

When, therefore, they [the monks of Egypt]

come together to conduct the aforementioned services,
which they call synaxes, all maintain such silence that even
though so great a number of brethren assemble, one would believe
no man to be present except he who rises in their midst to sing the psalm.

It was explained to the blessed Epiphanios, bishop of Cyprus, by the abbot of

the monastery he had in Palestine: "In accordance with your instructions we
have not neglected our rule, but diligently discharge Third, Sixth, and
Ninth Hours." However, Epiphanios corrected them and made it
clear to them, saying: "You obviously neglect the other hours
of the day when you refrain from prayer, for the true
monk must have prayer and psalmody
in his heart without ceasing."

A religious hymn is a great blessing

for everyone. It constitutes praise to the Most High,
honor for His holy people, worldwide harmony, an eloquent
proof of the Church's unity. It expresses the voice of the Church,
its confession. It brings about a complete spiritual uplifting and
absolute peace and joy in redeemed hearts, with the triumphal
hymn and song of happiness. It drives away hardness of
heart. It chases away disturbance. It dissolves and
dissipates despondency. . . The voice sings
the soul's joy, while the spirit delves
into the mysteries of the faith.
—St. Ambrose of Milan

Psalmody in a crowded congregation

is accompanied by captivity and wandering
of the thoughts; but in solitude, this does not happen.
However, those in solitude are liable to be assailed by despondency,
whereas in congregation the brethren help each other by their zeal.

Psalmody—bringing about choral singing,

a bond, as it were, toward unity, and joining
people into a hamonious union of one choir—
produces also the greatest of blessings: love.

in the manner of a licking puppy,

The demon of fornication,
is wont to cling to the one he tempts,

so as not to be cast out. But it is possible
for you—it is a matter of your prerogative and
intention—either to nourish him with the work of
dishonor or vigorously to put him to flight with prayer and
psalmody, with fasting and vigils, and with sleeping on the ground.

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.

We must think of what we sing rather than allow our mind, seized by extraneous
thoughts as is often the case, to lose the fruit of our labor. One must sing
with a manner and melody befitting holy religion; it must not
proclaim theatrical distress but rather exhibit Christian
simplicity in its very musical movement; it must
not remind one of anything theatrical,
but rather create compunction
in the listeners.

Not if someone utters

the words of the psalm with his
mouth, does that one sing to the Lord;
but, all who send up the psalmody from a clean
heart, and who are holy, maintaining righteousness toward God,
these are able to sing to God, harmoniously guided by the spiritual rhythms.

No one in such chanting with a ready

and eager mind will be blamed if he be weakened by old age,
or young, or have a rough voice, or is altogether ignorant of rhthym. What is
here sought for is a sober soul, an alert mind, a contrite heart, sound reason, and a
clear conscience. If having these you have entered into God's sacred choir, you may
stand beside David himself. There is no need of zithers, nor of taut strings, nor
of a plectrum, nor skill, nor any instruments. But if you will, you can make
yourself into a zither, mortifying the limbs of the flesh, and forming
full harmony between body and soul. For when the flesh does not
lust against the spirit, but yields to its commands, and
perseveres along the path that is noble and
admirable, you thus produce
a spiritual melody.

When you have children, teach them music.

But, of course, real music—angelic, not dances and songs.
Music assists the development of the perception of spiritual life.
The soul becomes refined. It begins to understand spiritual music as well.

* In some places on the Holy Mountain, this psalm verse is chanted at the beginning of a vigil while the
priest censes. In other places on the Holy Mountain, however, nothing is chanted or read at that time in a
vigil, which is the more traditional practice.

* On special feast days, these concluding verses of the opening vesper psalm are chanted instead of being
read.
**As Georgios Papadopoulos mentions, the Anoixantaria published by Phokaeus was actually composed by
Antonios Sigalas in 1830 at the request of monks from Vatopedi Monastery on the Holy Mountain. (Vid. Pa-

* 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

with psalm verses in triple meter.
If Paul—imprisoned, made fast in the stocks, and threatened with intolerable scourges—
praised God along with Silas continually throughout the night (when sleep is most
pleasant to everyone); and if neither the place, nor the hour, nor his anxieties, nor
the tyrant's slumbers, nor the pain of his labors, nor anything else could bring
him to interrupt his singing, so much the more ought we, who live pleasantly
and enjoy God's blessings, to give forth hymns that express thanks to Him.

* 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. www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Vespers.htm

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.

ƒƒLord.__________________________________________________________________ÌÌÌÌ
Reading, keeping vigil and prayer focus the wandering mind. Hunger, toil,
and solitude quell inflamed desire. Psalmody, patience, and pity arrest
seething anger. And these are to be practiced at the appropriate
time and in good measure, for what is excessive and
ill-timed is not lasting, and what does not last
is harmful rather than beneficial.
—Evagrius the Solitary

* According to some traditions, after the Blessing of the Loaves this psalmic verse is chanted three times heir-
mologically (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 melo-
dies such as those found on pages 524-529.

When we are weighed down by deep despondency,

raising our voice with joyful expectation
until the thick mist is dissolved

* 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 hierar-
chy. [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 suggests 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 Œcumenical Synod, criti-
cized 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, imply-
ing 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.

For prayer and psalmody,

as for many other things, every
time is suitable; so that we praise God
with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
while we move our hands in work, chanting with
our tongue if this is possible and conducive to the
edification of the faith, but if not, then in the heart.

O ƒƒLord.
The chanting that is done in churches is an entreaty towards God to be

appeased for our sins. Whoever begs and prayerfully supplicates
must have a humble and contrite manner; but to cry out
manifests a manner that is audacious and irreverent.

T
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 fol-
lowing publications, which are used by contemporary Athonite monks:

Appendix
The Intonations of the Eight Modes1
F
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 enhar-
monic, and the chromatic.2 Furthermore, each of the eight modes is broken down into three spe-
cies, 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.
1
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 Byzan-
tine music is approximately the scale of C Major.
