Elementary Music Theory for Orthodox Liturgical Singing

David Barrett

This is a textbook on elementary music theory that uses the hymnology of the Orthodox Church as examples to allow the singer to simultaneously learn to read music while learning the hymnology itself. Most chapters cover this aspect of music reading and, additionally, there are chapters that present the two basic chant systems, Byzantine and Slavic, of the Orthodox Church.
