Summary/Abstract: The period V-VIII century is distinguished by its special importance in the history of liturgical singing. It is connected with the rise of church-song creation as a response to the ever widespread spread of heresies. Even before the schism in the 11th century, during this period, the main differences between church chants in the Eastern and Western Roman Catholic Church were established. The present theoretical study aims to clarify some of the more important aspects of Christian hymnography by asking the answer to the question: Who are the holy person - the hymnographers who have a key role in the development of the churchmusic during this period. The subject of the present study is the contribution of the hymnographers Roman Melod; Andrej Kritski and Joan Damaskin, whose creativity stands out for their special significance.
