“[…] the general approach to Byzantine chant, has rightly, shifted from exclusively looking at the chant pieces as ‘works of art’ in a ‘closed score’, towards an acknowledgement of the notated chants as witnesses to an organic musical culture” (Christian Troelsgård, Byzantine Neumes: A new Introduction to the Middle Byzantine Musical Notation, Copenhagen, 2011)
This book offers an overview of aspects concerning the performance of Byzantine chant. It focuses on the corps of those singing in churches, referred to as Chorós. Evidence from musical manuscripts, ritual sources, depictions in icons and frescoes is co-examined with historical narratives, notions and structures of Byzantine civilization.
