Byzantine Music in Theory and in Practice

by Savas I. Savas, Nicholas Dufault (Translator)

The purpose of this present work is to bring forth in the most explicit and easy manner, the music, which from very ancient times the Orthodox Church used in order to praise the Holy Name of God. Showing therefore, first the more important aspect of this music, we believe that we will lead the reader more easily into its deep, serious, and magnificent meaning, for the theory and the practice will constitute safe criteria into the genesis, cultivation, and evolution of Byzantine music.
