The Eighth Echos reflected in the „doxastika” sticheras from Dimitrie Suceveanu’s „Idiomelar”

Summary/Abstract: This research paper aims to observe in what manner the eighth echos is reflectedin the doxastika sticheras in the first tome of Suceveanu’s Idiomelar... After defining termslike stichera or the stiheraric style and present the research method which consists mainly intranscribing the chants and collecting data. The results are plenty in order to make a clearpicture of the structural element of the analysed echos. The range is wider than an octave;Suceveanu has a very rich palette of melodic formulae and uses more often modulationsthan Petros Peloponnesios did in his Doxastarion. With Suceveanu’s contribution in the areaof romanization process, it begins a new stage in this matter, in which it can be observed aslightly try to gain some freedom from the original Greek melos.
