Issues of Adaptation and Reception of the Liturgical Monody in the Period of Domination of Polyphonia in relation to Polish Orthodox Church

Abstracts

EN

The liturgical monody, and especially the Greek-Byzantine singing, is a traditional form of singing of the Orthodox Church over the centuries. It was developing along with the liturgy, responding to the needs and requirements of particular epochs. In the middle of the second millennium, by dint of the contacts with Western culture, polyphony started to appear in East Slavic services. It then became the dominant stream of liturgical singing, coexisting with monody for a long period of time. Over time, monodic forms of liturgical singing begin to be marginal, which causes problems in their reception by the faithful. There has been a clear shift towards ancient, monodic music. It causes an increase of the interest in monody. The perception of monody requires an understanding of its character, history, function and context of performing during the services. There is also noticeable interest in liturgical single-voice singing in the Polish Orthodox Church, located on the borderline of influencing of East and West. The vernacular manuscripts clearly indicate the rich monodic legacy of our lands. Attempts to revive this kind of singing are a long and difficult process. However, it is worth supporting the liturgical monody due to its high spiritual values.
