Singing manuscripts of mixed style of the late 17th — early 18th centuries: the problem of interaction between partsong and non-linear polyphony at the turn of the epochs

Abstract

This article examines the issues of sources, notation and history of Russian ecclesiastical singing of the last quarter of the 17th — fi rst half of the 18th centuries. It introduces the concept of polyphonic manuscripts of mixed stylistics and distinguishes two types of them, namely hook and note manuscripts. The fi rst part of the article describes twelve hook manuscripts, the second part describes eight note manuscripts. All sources are kept in Moscow archives. The article draws the attention of researchers to original documents, in which the most interesting pages of Russian music are imprinted in the period of the transition to the New Time.
