Поетика литургијског певања између усмене и писане традиције
The Poetics of Liturgical Chant Between Oral and Written Tradition

Summary/Abstract: In this work the authors explain the relevant terms from the Old Testament, biblical tradition and the Scripture, as well as from liturgical songs and prayers, which refer to liturgical music – chanting. On the basis of the translations from Hebrew into Greek, Latin and Church Slavonic, their original meaning is identified, and some new or possible discrepancies, created in the process of translation, or new meanings are pointed out. In this way, the role and meaning of the Christian liturgical poetics are stressed as well as its inseparable connection with the church chanting. Namely, liturgical chanting is a prayer, “the theology of sound”, and that means that the word is more important than the music – although it is more complete with the music, and music is to follow and show the meaning of words, and to help their adoption.
