On the problem of the organization of a liturgy’s singing range (on a material of partesny manuscripts of the XVIII century)
Abstract
This article presents the results of the conducted research of manuscript sources, which contain partesny harmonizations of the liturgical chants, on the subject of the organization of a singing range of a liturgy. In the study, the conclusions are drawn about varying manifestations of a multimelodiousness and about a diff erent order of presentation of the liturgical chants in the manuscripts of the Synodal singing collection of the State Historical Museum of the late XVII — the 50th years of the XVIII centuries. The source study allowed to formulate on a material of many examples the basic ways of organization of the manuscripts’ liturgical parts used in the historical period under consideration. According to them the author revealed fi ve types of the organization of a singing material in hand-written sources. The evident scheme explaining the origins of each of fi ve types of creation of a liturgy’s singing range is provided. The scheme also contains information on compliance of the studied hand-written sources and their partitions to one of the allocated types. In end of article an attempt to designate the temporal boundaries of existence of each of fi ve types of constructing of a partesny liturgy’s singing range is carried out and the conclusion is drawn on the need for further study of periodization and geography of an existence of the revealed types.
