Musicology Annotation << Back Musical versions of the "zadostoinik" chant from Nativity of the Virgin’s Service in Irmologions of the XVI–XVII cc.: to the style problem Gerasimova Irina V. The article considers the hypothesis, proposed by A.A. Lukashevich, on the conservation of the "early" putevoi raspev (track style) in the Kievan Metropolitanate manuscripts of the XVI–XVIII centuries – Irmologions. Verifi cation of the hypothesis was carried out by textual analysis more than thirty-fi ve kopies of hook and fi ve-line-notation irmologions written in the middle of the XVI–XVII centuries. The materials are irmologion’s copies of zadostoinik of the Nativity of the Virgin "Ciuzhde est materem” and copies of the chant from Old Russian manuscripts. The analysis showed that there were two singing versions of the zadostoinik in Znamenny style. The fi rst version is short (stolpovoi) znamennyi one of the chant and the second version is expanded, advanced author’s chant, but its model is the short melody. The relationship between the expanded version of the Kiev tradition and track style the of the Moscow tradition was not found, except for single intonation coincidences due to the unity of their original model – the short Znamenny version of the chant. Keywords: singing style, putevoi rospev, znamenny rospev, chant, instead of "Dostoino est’", Kievan Metropolitanate, Moscow Patriarchate.
