The Development of the Melodic Formulas in Old Ruthenian Orthodox Church Monody on the Example of Dogmaticon of the Second Tone Based on Selected 16th-18th Century West Ruthenian Irmologions

Summary/Abstract: In the work in question, the author has analysed the melodic formulas used in the dogmaticon of the second tone. For this purpose, the author has used selected Irmologions, both the oldest, which originate from the territories of today’s Belarus and Ukraine, and song books originating from the southern Podlachia Uniate Orthodox churches, in particular of Rokitno and Witoroże. The author points to the important role of the Orthodox monasteries and, after the signing of the Union of Brest (1596), also to that of the parish, in the development of the Old Ruthenian Orthodox church singing. In the course of the research, the author has proven a close connection between the dogmaticon of the second tone melodics and the text. Moreover, the conducted research has shown that, despite the passage of time, there has been no change in the structure of the dogmaticon of the second tone and in the selection of the melodic formulas.
