ΤHE IMPROVEMENT OF THE LATENT POLYPHONIC VIRTUES OF PSALTIC MONODIES OF THE TROPARION OF ST. PARASKEVA, ECHOS VIII (PERSONAL CHORAL ARRANGEMENT)

Summary/Abstract: Troparion of St. Paraskeva in ehul VIII psaltic belongs to the series of general hymns (standard) that is played in the venerable holidays. The Psalter Troparion experienced some choral harmonization signed by Ioan D. Chirescu, Achim Stoia and Nicolae Lungu. This paper analyzes and explains a new treatment of this hymn, which combines homophon writing with elements of imitative writing and fleeting use of different tonal plans, exploiting latent plurivocal virtues of psaltic monody.
