Abstract. The sticheron‐doxastikon Σήμερον κρεμᾶται ἐπὶ ξύλου (Today is hanged on wood) which is written either by St. Cyril of Jerusalem or St. Cyril of Alexandria (4th-.‐5th cent.), is a famous troparion from the Ninth Great Hour of Good Friday which represents the sticheraric genre. In this paper, it is submitted to structural, metrical, expanded modal and syntactical musical analysis. Furthermore, the melody written in Middle-.‐byzantine notation (manuscript Dionysiu 564 of the 15th century) and in New-.‐byzantine notation (slow exegesis -.‐traditional rendition from manuscript Sancti Sepulcri 715 (Metochion Panagiou Tafou [MPT] 715, early 19th century) is comparatively analyzed through the Temporal Evolution of the Average Pitch (T.E.A.P.) approach, in order to investigate through Mathematics the uninterrupted transmission of the Byzantine melodies through the centuries despite the evolutionary changes in notation.
