Abstract

The article examines the issue of preservation and use of genres of Bulgarian chants in regional church-singing practice. Based on the results of scientific research of Yu. Yasinovskyi and L. Kornii, using a combination of source studies, music-analytical and comparative methods, the repertoire of genres of Bulgarian chant is refined. The features of the musical and text texture changes are determined in handwritten irmoloys, Church Prostopinije by Bokshay-Malynych of Vasiliyanske Prostopinije by Khoma in 1930. The formed local variants confirm close connections with handwritten and printed irmologions of the XVII–XIX centuries, reflect the peculiarities of ancient forms of sacred monody preservation, layering and interspersing of elements of ethnic character, folk-song rhythm intonations, ways of individual interpretation and interpretation of liturgical texts by singers in the church-singing practice of Mukachevo Greek-Catholic diocese. The conducted comparisons additionally reveal the preservation and reinterpretation of key intonations recorded with the help of relative flats in handwritten and printed irmoloys, which illustrates well certain aspects of the formation of melodic intonations in regional church-singing practice.
