INTRODUCTION
Through the prayers and contributions of the many involved in this project,
we are happy to finally present this recording of fifty-four prosomia. We beg the
indulgence of all that have been patiently waiting for us to complete this project,
which has often seemed too large and outside the realm of possibility for the choir
of our monastery. Glory to God for all things!
Prosómia are a large, specific group of hymns of the Eastern Orthodox
Church, which are used as models and paradigms for the composition of other
hymns. In laymen’s terms, a prosómion (singular) is a “hymn-tune”. When its title,
which is the first words of the hymn appears above other hymn-texts, it signifies
that they are to be sung to the tune of that particular prosomion. A hymn is called
a prosomion – meaning in Greek “similar to” – when hymns modeled after the
Original Melody match it note for note, syllable for syllable, and accent for accent. A prosomion is called Podóben in Slavonic.
By learning the prosomia one will be able to chant thousands of hymns in the
Menaion, Triodion, Pentecostarion, Octoëchos, and all the service books of the
Church. In order to provide the Faithful with a learning tool, the fifty-four
prosomia presented here are meant to be a companion to the Menaion, recently
published in English by our monastery. Prosomia appear in almost every service of
the Orthodox Church, as hymns for “Lord, I have cried”, the Aposticha and the
Praises, and as Dismissal Hymns, Kontakia, Exapostilaria and Sessional Hymns.
(Although the heirmoí of the Canons also function as hymn-tune paradigms, they
are a category unto themselves and are not considered prosomia.)
As an additional tool for learning the prosomia, the sheet music for all the
hymns has been included in this PDF file, followed by an additional PDF file of
all these hymns as “music without text” for those who wish to write in the text of
other hymns as a teaching aid, or for use in Church.
In character, prosomia vary from festive to mournful to joyous. The Fathers of
the Church deemed them worthy and edifying vehicles of grace that can bring us
to compunction and the contemplation of God’s ineffable love for mankind. Many
of these melodies as we know them are based on hymns composed in the Monastery of Saint Sabbas in the Holy Land.
The prosomia on this CD have been grouped first according to Tone, and
then the branch of the Tone, and within that, in alphabetical order. Further, the
Exapostilaria, in Second and Third Tones, have been grouped together to assist
comparison in learning to distinguish them.
iii
The original text and melody of a prosomion are called the “Original Melody”. In our selection the Original Melody of each hymn will be chanted first,
followed by one or two examples of hymns modeled after it. If the hymns do not
follow exactly the paradigm of the Original Melody, they are called “irregular.”
Where appropriate, the last example demonstrates how a final cadence can be inserted in place of the simple ending. In some cases minor variants occur, which
will be mentioned specifically later on.
The Notation and Execution of the Music
Regarding the notation on the music page itself, two things in particular need
to be mentioned: First, the bold-print capital letters which appear above certain
notes in the staff are the notes for the “ison”. (In short, the ison is the “base note”
upon which the Tone is based and is chanted by a lesser number of chanters as a
foundation and support for the melody.) For example, if D appears above the first
note of a hymn the “isocrats”, i.e., the ison-holders, are to chant the text on the
note ‘D’ until another letter appears, changing to that note. The abbreviation “Un.”
signifying “unison”, guides the isocrats to chant in unison with the melody until
the next letter appears. An ison note that appears with an arrow pointing down, as
in G, indicates that a low ‘G’ is to be chanted.
Second, in (all but one of) the hymns of Second Tone and Plagal of Second
Tone, and one hymn in Fourth Tone, a special accidental, ‘ j,’ has been placed in
the staff to indicate the flatting of a note by 1/3 of a step, which does not occur in
general Western music practice. This is placed on ‘A’ and sometimes on low ‘D’.
It sounds just a nuance lower than ‘An ’, but definitely not as low as ‘Ab ’. The Soft
Chromatic scale used in the above mentioned Tones simply cannot be rendered on
the well-tempered piano keyboard. Through much listening and practice one can
learn to produce this new note. In light of the above, we have indicated a “soft
flat” in the notation.
We do not intend to present a comprehensive theory of Neo-Byzantine Ecclesiastical chant here, but we wish to mention a few things to help the chanter in
execution. One distinctive part of the special flavor of Byzantine chant comes from
the tuning of its four scales. Each branch of each of the eight Tones, while using
one of the four, has its own conventions: melodic formulae, dominant notes, attracted notes, endings and others. Certain notes in each Tone are considered
dominant notes, which have a permanently fixed pitch, and certain other notes
which can be attracted to those dominant notes, (and thus do not have a permanently fixed pitch). For example, in Third Tone, when an ‘E’ is between two
neighboring ‘F’s’, the pitch of the ‘E’ may be pulled higher, i.e., attracted to the
dominant ‘F’s’. Notice that in many of the hymns certain notes are not chanted exactly as they appear on the music page – they might be flatted or sharped in varyiv
ing degrees. Those could be attracted notes, part of the (regular) tuning of the
scale being used, or a convention of the Tone. In the Soft Chromatic scale, the
force of the dominant note ‘G’ is so strong that the note ‘A’ is permanently attracted down towards it and, therefore, ‘A j ’ is part of the regular tuning of the
scale. We have included it in the key signature.
A common practice in Byzantine chant is to double the octave of the ison,
meaning, for example, to sing both a high and a low ‘G’ even though only a G is
above the note. This doubling is particularly effective in the hymns that use the
Soft Chromatic scale as it gives a fullness and richness to the sound. Very beautiful examples of ison doubling can be heard in recordings from the Vatopaidi and
Simonopetra Monasteries of Mount Athos available from our monastery.
The words “irregular” and “variant” were mentioned earlier. We use these
terms to show that there is some difference between the paradigm of the Original
Melody and a hymn that has a slightly different number of syllables (and the
added or subtracted notes, which accompany them). Those changes have been indicated by using small notes for the additional notes. In almost all cases, the
hymns of the new English language Menaion follow the paradigm exactly. Variants, however, are not indicated in the text. Therefore, it is best to study the
hymns before chanting them, in order to properly accommodate any irregularities.
Notes on the Hymns
First Tone
In While Gabriel was saying, the Original Melody is used only as a concluding
Theotokion, and so we have included it here as the last example. This hymn also
presents a variant in the notes of the concluding phrases with the triple “Glory…”
The soldiers standing guard is chanted from ‘A’ with the ison note ‘D’. Another tradition, more common among Greek chanters, is to chant this hymn from ‘A’ but
with the Soft Chromatic scale, treating the note ‘A’ as if it were ‘G’, the base
note. In that case the final ending and “Glory; both now” of Second Tone should
be used.
Second Tone
Since With what fair crowns never appears as a Theotokion, “Glory; both now” and
a final ending have not been provided.
Different than the other hymns of Second Tone on this recording, O house of
Ephratha uses the Hard Chromatic scale, as indicated in the key signature, rather
than the Soft Chromatic.
v
Third Tone
The Original Melody of Awed by the beauty is irregular and is not included as an
example. The music for it can be found in the hymnal Selected Byzantine Hymns.
That which came to pass is really not a prosomion but the heirmos to the Ninth Ode
of the Matins Canon from the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord in the Temple.
We have included it in our selection because of its importance in that Feast and its
beauty - a high point of the Feast.
Third Tone Exapostilaria
From the Heights our Saviour, Christ – Versions 1 and 2, are two settings of the same
hymn from two different chanting traditions. The first is from the Heirmologion
from the Polychronachis Publishers of Crete, and the second from the Pandektis’
Heirmologion from Greece, both claiming Ioannis Protopsaltis of Constantinople
as hymnographer. We use both versions - the first version for Great Feasts like
the Nativity of our Saviour and Theophany, and the second for other days of the
year.
O ye Apostles from afar is also from the Polychronachis Heirmologion.
Fourth Tone with B n
(If desired, all of the hymns in this branch of Fourth Tone may be chanted in the
Soft Chromatic scale as we do in our example Thou, Who Wast raised up – Kontakion, with G as ison and base note.)
Joseph was amazed – Dismissal Hymn, shows another important variant in the melody due to a different number of syllables in the last lines.
Thou, Who Wast raised up – Dismissal Hymn, is also used as a Sessional Hymn and
Kontakion, whereas Thou Who Wast raised up – Kontakion, is used only as a Kontakion. In our practice, we use the one labeled “ – Kontakion” for Great Feasts
only.
Thou, Who Wast raised up – Kontakion, shows a variant melody in the last line.
Fourth Tone – Palatine Mode
Joseph was amazed – Sessional Hymn, is from yet another branch of Fourth Tone
known either by its musical introduction, the apékhema “Nenanó,” or Palatine
Mode. It uses the Hard Chromatic scale.
Plagal of First Tone
Rejoice shows a variation in the melody on the first note. The first syllable “Re-“
requires an extra note to be added in order to accommodate the unaccented additional syllable at the beginning.
vi
Angels in the Heavens does not have a metered Original Melody in English.
Ere the morning star shows again a variant in the last line, which requires the
chanters to adapt the syllables to the music.
Plagal of Fourth Tone
By conceiving the Wisdom has a variant in the melody near the end.
O strange wonder has a variant in the first line.
To thee, the champion leader, one of the best-known and loved hymns of the
Church, has an Original Melody in English, which is irregular. It can be found
in Selected Byzantine Hymns.
When the Bodiless one also has an irregular Original Melody; it is also to be found
in Selected Byzantine Hymns.
vii
Other Resources
The hymnal Selected Byzantine Hymns contains some of the irregular Original
Melodies of the prosomia presented here. In the introduction to the Menaion you
will find more extensive information on prosomia and the services of the Church.
The Menaion contains all of the hymns for the Saints of the day and fixed Feasts.
Both are available from Holy Transfiguration Monastery.
Online: The website stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Index.html has helpful
articles and music in English in both western and Byzantine notation. Another
very large resource is the website analogion.com, which has many recordings,
sheet music and facsimiles of originals, articles and discussions pertaining to Byzantine music and performance, as well as links to other useful sites. Many wonderful recordings of Byzantine chant performed by various choirs and chanters are
available from our monastery catalog or website: thehtm.org.
M ay these hymns be for the adornment of the C hurch’s holy services
And to the glory of G od!
