Byzantine Music

Japanese: ビザンティン音楽 - びざんてぃんおんがく
Byzantine Music
Music of the Byzantine Empire. Its greatest legacy is the system of sacred songs (in Greek, monophonic, unaccompanied) used for the liturgy of the Byzantine Church. It is particularly notable for the large number of easy-to-sing syllabic works and ornate coloratura compositions in the hymn forms (troparion, kontakion, canon) that developed remarkably throughout the period. The vast repertoire of Byzantine sacred songs from the 9th to 15th centuries has survived in manuscripts with neumes (musical notation), and this system of notation (Byzantine neumes) is well known.

ビザンティン帝国の音楽。その最大の遺産は,ビザンティン帝国教会の典礼用の宗教歌(ギリシア語。単声,無伴奏)の体系である。そこには,とくにその全時代を通じて目ざましい発展を遂げた賛歌の形式(トロパリオン,コンタキオン,カノン)による,シラビックな歌いやすい作品やコロラトゥーラの華麗な作品が数多く含まれていることが特筆される。これら9~15世紀のビザンティン宗教歌の膨大なレパートリーは,すべてネウマ譜(楽譜)付きの写本で現存するが,この記譜法(ビザンティン・ネウマ。
