Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Znamenny Chant (Russian: , ) is a singing tradition used in the Russian Orthodox Church. Znamenny Chant is unison, melismatic liturgical singing that has its own specific notation, called Kryuki (Russian: ) or Znamena (Russian: ). Znamenny melodies are part of a system, consisting of Eight Modes (intonation structures); the melodies are characterized by fluency and well-balancedness. There exist several types of Znamenny Chant: the so-called Stolpovoy, Malyj (Little) and Bolshoy (Great) Znamenny Chant. Znamenny Chants are not written with notes (the so-called linear notation), but with special signs, called Znamena (archaic Russian for "marks", "signs", "flags") or Kryuki ("hooks"), as some shapes of these signs resemble hooks. Each sign may include the following components: a large black hook or a black stroke, several smaller black ''points'' and ''commas'' and lines near the hook or crossing the hook. Some signs may mean only one note, some 2 to 4 notes, and some a whole melody of more than 10 notes with a complicated rhythmic structure.
