Description

This course is a systematic study of (1) the model melodies (prologoi-prosomoia) commonly used in nusical settings of Byzantine hymns, and (2) the hymns chanted in sacraments and other services of the Greek Orthodox Church (baptism, wedding, funeral, sanctification of water, etc.). By the end of the semester, students will be able to perform the majority of hymns found in the liturgical books without relying on a musical score.
