Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the origins of the Russian church singing style, aiming to establish the time period for its development and adoption in the region. The author argues that the Russian style was not influenced by Byzantine models of church singing as previously assumed, but rather was influenced by Greek-Syrian models, with some influence from the liturgical practices of neighboring Slavic nations. The author also provides a history of the Slavic and Byzantine modes of religious singing and explores how they were incorporated into Russian worship. The book is heavily researched and makes extensive use of primary source documents such as ancient musical manuscripts and historical accounts, providing an in-depth examination of the evolution of the Russian church's singing traditions.
