Summary

The three teachers (Chrysanthos, Gregorios and Chourmouzios) established and taught the New Method of ecclesiastical music (1814-1820) and interpreted an enormous corpus of Byzantine and post-Byzantine compositions to it. However, while studying the psaltic manuscripts we also detect many musical works of well-known composers which hadn’t been transcribed to this analytical musical notation by them, nor by their posteriors. In the paper with the aforementioned title I will present some interesting compositions of this category and I will focus on a specific work of Antonios the priest which I transcribed in the nowadays musical notation.
