O skúmaní byzantskej tradície na Slovensku z hľadiska hudobnej bohoslužobnej tradície
About the Research of Byzantine Tradition in Slovakia from the Musical and Liturgical Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The Byzantine music is intimately connected to the Byzantine liturgy. They both constitute a whole of man’s outer religious expression of faith in a way proper to certain nation and its culture. The liturgical music cannot be studied and understood without taking the liturgical formularies in account; the same applies vice versa. Byzantine-Slavic religious culture has long history, starting in the 9th century, when it gave rise to unique Slavic culture that eventually spread to all the Slavic countries. The development of music closely followed the development of liturgical formularies. Thus, deep knowledge and understanding of their history is inevitable and a condition sine qua non for the adaptation of liturgical formularies and music into vernacular.
