Euro-Balkan Institute for Social and Humanities Research, Skopje 15th OHRID SUMMER UNIVERSITY 2012 to be held 12th-30th August, Ohrid, Macedonia - CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - SUMMER INSTITUTE DESCRIPTION Euro-Balkan Institute is pleased to announce its first annual Summer Institute for Byzantine Church Music for 2012. The Institute is designed to advance theoretical and practical exploration of the Byzantine Church Music that include different traditions and interpretations. The main objective of the Summer Institute is to provide a higher level of knowledge and competence for those who want to upgrade their current academic background and interest in Byzantine church music. The Summer Institute is offering the participants a rare opportunity to acquire advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will complement their further professional and academic carrier related to Byzantine church music and the Byzantine Studies in general. The Summer Institute puts the idea of examining and reconstructing the Byzantine church music recognizing that from the deepest layers of Byzantine music and the folk traditions of the peoples formerly united in the “Byzantine Commonwealth” we can discover the common cultural traditions, influences and relationship. Our endeavour is to examine the Byzantine church music and its traditions, deriving from its universal character and the growing interest among the researchears and academics from all over the world for theoretical and practical study of the Byzantine church music. By bringing together a group of highly motivated participants and an internationally renowned faculty and practitioners, the summer institute seeks to establish a framework of intensive collaborative learning and training in the field of Byzantine Church Music. Further information The Summer Institute is integral part of Ohrid Summer University (OSU) which is an academic program for young faculty, PhD candidates, postgraduates, researchers and professionals, which offers intensive, problem oriented and research based courses from the domain of social sciences and humanities. OSU was founded in 1998 and has functioned continuously since then, as one of the core programs of the “Euro-Balkan” Institute, involving a significant number of both junior and senior members of academic communities from various countries. To date “Euro-Balkan” Institute, trough OSU program, has organized over 30 summer schools from various areas with over 500 participants, involving more than 100 proffessors. During the 14 years-long period of its existence, OSU has engaged itself in: adequate and effective training of the academic staff, demonstration of successful linkage of state-of-the-art scholarship and effective and innovative teaching, promotion of academic excellence and ability to facilitate creation and sustenance of active networks of academics, as well as collaborative advancement of learning in certain disciplines within the international context. Located in the city of Ohrid, the centuries-long cultural metropolis of the Balkan region, OSU encompasses a variety of social and cultural events, provides appropriate locations for outdoor classes and includes educative excursions to the famous archaeological sites and cultural monuments, situated on the shores of the Ohrid Lake. The theme of the 2012 Summer Institute of Byzantine Church Music is: “Theory and Practice of the Byzantine church singing according to the New System” The theme of the Summer Institute in 2012 reflects the focus on the theoretical and practical issues related to the musical concepts and all complimentary forms and components of the Byzantine church singing according to the ‘New System’ and Athos tradition. The music notation of Byzantine church singing according the ‘New System’ arise from the last reform that was ended in 1814 by the ecclesiasts Chrysanthos (1843), Gregory Protopsaltes (1820) and Chourmouzios Chartophylax (1840). Significantly simplified relative to the previous development of Byzantine music, this notation is often known as Chrysanthos notation, which was grandly accepted among the orthodox expanse. Today it is widely used in almost the whole Balkans’ orthodox world and in the last two decades it is increasingly represented in the areas where it wasn’t previously applied ( Serbia , Montenegro and Bosnia ). In the theoretical part of the program the Damascene’s eight tone system (known as Oktoih) would be included as a base for the east-church singing in the Orthodox Oikoumene. We will examine different theoretical aspects of the Byzantine church singing according to the “New System”, accompanied with the training for its practical interpretation and reconstruction.
