This is a complete edition with critical commentary of the Byzantine Communions in thirteenth-century manuscripts of the Asmatikon, all known sources being used. The chants concerned are the earliest known examples of Communion Chants of the Orthodox Church, and are found in a book which may go back to the rite of St Sophia at Constantinople during the tenth century-the earliest copies of which date from the thirteenth-century and come from South Italy and North Greece. Further more, there are also a few manuscripts from Kiev with text in Church Slavonic and an untranscribable musical notation. This is the first systematic transcription of the Asmatikon ever to be published.

Industry Reviews

"Elegantly presented....The music itself takes us back into another fascinating world, perhaps even to the turn of the previous millennium....The introductory essay is a clear and well-considered introduction to ancient Byzantine chant in general, and is impressive in underlining the antiquity of the tradition."-Early Music Today
