Summary/Abstract: Hieromonk Macarie is one of the reforming worthy persons of our church music who adapted the songs according to the Romanian taste, its compositions being characterized by simplicity, clarity and sweetness. The Sticherarion, given to the Library of the Romanian Academy by Moldova Metropolitan Iosif Naniescu, is part of the work of Macarie, remaining in the manuscript and is a Greek translation of the Anthology of Sticherarion, by Gregory Protopsaltes, who, with Hurmuz Hartofilax, transposed in the new graphy the Sticherarion of Chrysaphes the New in the seventeen century. The songs in this work, written in argon style, are broadly addressed to all religious people who have reached a hot stage of prayer that falls within the rigors of time.
