Hatzara Aglaia,
The Oral Tradition in Byzantine Ecclesiastical Music
Abstract.
Music interpretation in the oral tradition of the Greek Church Music Art can offer cultures the prospects of communication and creation. Music is being recreated by performance in the immediate present each time. In the case of Byzantine Music the researcher should not be absolute, which means that there is not only one “proper” way of execution, but there are many ways, and that spring from the wealth of the oral Byzantine tradition. With the comparison of different features in every performance, one can detect differences which possibly concern specific particularities and origins of each performer. As it concerns these differences I intent to distinguish and justify the points which I consider worthy of being emphasized.
