Cherubic Hymn in Mode 1 - Manuel Chrysaphes, MS Mt. Athos, Iviron 1120 (1458)
Program note:
Dry versus Wet Sound and the Experiment with Live Auralization in Bing Hall
Cappella Romana, Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics and the Art & Art History Department
Tonight we will experiment with digital technology in the second half of Cappella
Romana's concert in order to transform the Bing Hall into the reverberant soundscape
of Hagia Sophia (532-537), which defined the medieval spiritual experience and man's embeddedness in the world.
We live in a culture that values dry, direct, and efficient sound. This aesthetic
predisposition emerged during the Machine Age (1900-1933) and it transformed our
relationship to sound. Before, speech or chanting reverberating in resonant ancient stone interiors made individual words unclear. The electroacoustic signal, stripped of ambient noise, and piped into dry and inert rooms, by contrast, allowed individual words to be heard with clarity and directness.
Modern acoustics started with the building of Boston's Symphony Hall (1900). In
the process the physicist Wallace Sabine discovered a formula for predicting the
reverberation of a space. This is the length of time a sound produced in an interior
continues to reflect off surfaces until it gradually decays into inaudibility. Sabine's
formula established a relation between materials and interior volume. This discovery
ushered in the development of acoustics as science and the engineering of new synthetic building materials. Both advances allowed the reverberation of any interior to be manipulated and adjusted for the particular function of a space. As the aesthetics of the modern dry and efficient sound permeated the city, it shaped the expectation of concert hall acoustics from an average reverberation time of 4 seconds to a drop to ca. 2 seconds. In treating reverberation as noise, modern technology severed the relationship between sound and space.
By contrast, in the pre-modern world the acoustics of the space was the direct product
of the natural materials. The marble interior of Hagia Sophia was 70 meters long, while in height it reached 56 meters at the apex of the great dome. The vast chamber and its reflective surfaces of marble and gold resulted in unprecedented acoustics of over ten seconds reverberation time. As a museum Hagia Sophia today has lost its voice, no performances could take place in it. Using new digital technology developed at CCRMA, the second portion of Cappella Romana's concert at Bing aims to recreate sound of what singing in Hagia Sophia must have been like. Each singer caries a microphone that records the sound transforming it into a digital signal, which is then imprinted with the reverberant response of Hagia Sophia. What you hear as a wet sound is the product of a digitally produced signal transmitted through loudspeakers placed strategically to create an enveloping soundfield. This digital signal may shock you with the way it relativizes speech, transforming its content into a chiaroscuro of indistinct but immersive sound. For the Byzantines, this sonic experience was associated with the water: the waves of the sea.

You mean mighty Persia my friend?? 🙋🇬🇷🏛️
Congratulations for keeping alive the ancient Eastern Byzantine Greek chants,,
Ancient=medical. Byzantine= estern Rome, ασχετε αμόρφωτε
@@panosant3960I think he is referring to the Greek language used in these hymns 😂
We who mystically represent the Cherubim,
and who sing to the Life-Giving Trinity the thrice-holy hymn,
let us now lay aside all earthly cares
that we may receive the King of all,
escorted invisibly by the angelic orders.
Alleluia
Pure agape from Theos!
We who mystically represent the Cherubim and sing the thrice-holy hymn to the lifegiving Trinity let us lay aside all worldly cares. That we may receive the King of the Universe invisibly attended by the angelic orders. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Is this the translation of what they are signing?
@@basilforth Yes. The exact wording may vary (some might say "King of the world") but that is the translation.
Carolingian transliteration
I ta cherubin mysticos Iconizontes

alleluia.[7]
the king of all is the correct translation and with the word all it means humans, it is not the king of universe or the king of the world and it refers to Jeasus Christ
Pure agape from Theos!
im Muslim i pray that Christians of orthadox will once again be able to call on god in this way in the Hagia Sophia one day soon
Some day brother... some day. Hagia Sophia will be filled with ancient praises of Christ that fill all of humanity, regardless of faith, with hope and strength.
By your prayers, brother.
may God bless your kind spirit
Hagia Sofia Mosque since 1453 till the day of judgement
@@samilyusaokumus7986 lol, your ww1 comrade ataturk convert it to museum, ye Ellah bless him. If muslim turkish want convert it back to mosque, it means war
this is nice...now think about this: records show us that in sundays, Hagia Sopha housed up to 250-300 psalts that were responding to the liturgy. That was a feast for the ears. I myself had tha rare chance to visit Sophia in December and there were little to no visitors except me, my wife and some friends. I sang a piece of Agios o Theos, I tone by Ioan Palasis...the resonnance blew me...its really breathtaking...
+nasucbt anybody is invited to go there and sing hymns , especially on May 29th and June 11th
I wonder about this with the new Muslim militancy in Turkey and the gravitational pull toward making HS a mosque again. When the Pope visited a while ago there were precautions against prayer. Correspondingly Erdogan opened a space in the building to Muslim prayer last year. Odd since it seems to be agreed that the Muslim god and the Christian god are the same god.
My guess is that Erdogan will get his wish and it will become a mosque again. Such a shame as it's a beautiful cathedral built in honor of our Lord. That said, the building is only a building, and the church of our Lord will continue unto the ages, even without it. Lord Have Mercy!
I did the same years ago. but this chapter of History is closed.
Not one of the nations of Europe will respond to a call to crusade; the incumbent Pope will never call the Tenth Crusade anyways. The Age of Crusading is long past. Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire will never return. The landmass of Asia Minor will forever be the nation of Turkey. The former Constantinople will remain Istanbul. Hagia Sophia will never be an Eastern Orthodox cathedral again, and Patriarch Bartholomew will never set foot in it, nor will any of his patriarchal successors. That is the sad but very real truth of things. The Holy Spirit departed on May 29th, 1453 as observed by many; a strange but glorious light rising from the Hagia's dome and disappearing into the sky. The death of Christianity in Anatolia.
Such beautiful voices and harmony. I never tire of hearing this over and over again. It transports you to a place where there is no time or space, a place you long to be in awe, reverence and humility, worshiping the Creator and Lord God. Thank you 🙏❤️🙏❤️✝️🌹🌹🌹
Surely heaven must sound like this. An altogether supranatural sound.
I'm a novice chanter and I sing this hymn during Divine Liturgy, albeit in Dutch. This choir has a level of skill I can never hope to obtain. God bless you all!
Notes/nevmi please 😮
ΕΝΑΣ ΑΠΟ ΤΟΥΣ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟΥΣ ΥΜΝΟΥΣ..ΧΕΡΟΥΒΙΚΟΣ ΥΜΝΟΣ..ΣΕ ΑΝΥΨΩΝΕΙ ΣΤΑ ΟΥΡΑΝΙΑ...ΝΑ ΝΑΙ ΕΥΛΟΓΗΜΕΝΟ !!!
Τα θερμά μου συγχαρητήρια σε όλους τους συντελεστές. My warmest congratulations to all contributors.
Ιησούς Χριστός νικά ✝️
The music for this piece was edited by Dr Ioannis Arvanitis from the composer's autograph manuscript Mt Athos Iveron 1120.
Absolutely amazing to hear. The music carried me to the time of the early Christian church. Many such places, that as an older man, I might not have a chance to see. Or yet stand in the midst and listen. Thank you.
Absolutely Divine! And a piece of information: Hagia Sophia in Greek means Saint Sophia and Holy wisdom with the 2nd being the proper for this great temple. The Byzantines dedicated this church to the Holy Wisdom (of God)! Not to be confused with Saint Sophia. Thank you...
Ant the Holy Wisdom of God is Christ , so ultimately dedicated to Him.
Wisdom is another name for the Holy Spirit. Glory to Jesus Christ!
J
Indeed, Hagia Sophia is dedicated to the "Wisdom of God", i.e., the Sophia of God
This music grips the soul and transports it into another dimension free of all worldly and material constraints. It is the embodiment all at once of ceaseless suffering yielding to the inevitability of universal salvation.
The sound is heard with my ears but it breathes in and out of my heart. Love and Prayers with you all. ~jah
Τι μαγευτικες φωνες θεε μου... ταξιδευει ο νους στα χρονια τις σταυρωσης ! ΚΑΤΑΠΛΗΚΤΙΚΟΙ!
Beautiful. A worshipful hymn and a tribute to the Eastern Romans. A song sung for over a thousand years. I trust that we will sing it in heaven.
Found this as a translation of the hymn:
"Let us, who mystically represent the cherubim and sing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-giving trinity, lay aside all worldly cares, that we may receive the King of all, invisibly escorted by the angelic hosts. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia."
Can anyone verify that the words are correct?
Only west by that time called this place Eastern Romans..A completely Greek ancient area, with greek civilization, greek lang, greek education, and 80% by Greek people...vimeo.com/ondemand/thesilenceofasiaminor
@@eleniconstantinides6153 And it was Hittite before the Greeks. Things grow and change. I affirm your statement in terms of geography and demographics. However, by the time of the rise of Constantinople, Asia Minor had been thoroughly integrated into the Roman Empire. By late antiquity, until the Muslim conquest, Asia Minor had been thoroughly Christianized. The Romanization and Christianization of Asia Minor built on and blended with the Greek foundation.
@@eleniconstantinides6153 no actually they called themselves Roman. Why dont you like this fact? Rome established and secured this region and laid down the infrastructure and governments later it was devided and SLLLLLOWLY begab to culturally divert from the west and with increasing success it attracted more Greek speakers and thus eventually became distinctly more greek in culture. its really pathetic how i keep seeing greeks frantically shouting about how this is nothing but greek and only greek and Rome had nothing to do with it bla bla.. its like you are black or something with no history and so cling onto anything you can even making up bullshit to give yourself some sense of historical pride.... You are always doing it with regards to Italian culture and history even trying to claim half of italy itself is Greek.. But when it comes to other points in history you will happily slander italians and deny any connection to them.. You behave like spastics and its becoming rather annoying.

yes = correct translation and a pivotal moment of contemplation in the Byzantine/Orthodox liturgy + moves the congregation into the liturgy of the sacrifice after that of the word....
Amazing. Like going back in time.
I had an opportunity to listen to their live performance recently and i had to say it was a rare experience that i would cherish. Their voices were so harmonious with each other and had left such an impressionable serenity into my mind. It was very comforting and the location happened to be in a catholic church which doubled its impact. They were truly incredible and i hope to have another opportunity to meet them again.
Εξαίρετον ακουσμα αντάξιον ενος ναού τοιουτου κάλλους. Το παν/μόν
Στάνφορντ έκανε δουλειά έκανε μια δουλειά αντάξια του ονόματος του.
Η Αγία Σοφία θα λειτουργήσει ξανά σαν εκκλησία
Κατά τον Άγιο Παίσιο αυτή η κίνηση του Ερτογάν σημαίνει το τέλος της σημερινής Τουρκίας. Όπως είπε ο Άγιος Παίσιος σε αξιωματικό του Ελληνικού στρατού που τον επισκέφθηκε "Την Πόλη θα την πάρουμε στη ζωή μας". Συνεπώς, σύντομα στην εκκλησία της "Σοφίας του Θεού" θα ολοκληρωθεί η λειτουργία που διακόπει το 1453 μ.Χ. και στη συνέχεια θα λειτουργεί στον αιώνα των αιώνων ως Η Εκκλησία της Ορθοδοξίας και όλων των Χριστιανών.

So beautiful and thank you so much for this. It is wonderful to hear the acoustics of that wonderful Church. And especially in authentic Byzantine chant still used by the Eastern Orthodox Church today. Thank you.
This brought tears to my eyes, thank you very much indeed. Amazing.
And now it’s back to a Mosque. Should be returned to a church so that service can be held again. This is a very important historical church. I don’t understand how there isn’t outrage over the current state of affairs in Turkey.
Relentlessly holy.
I found this video after an article in the New York Times and I am very impressed with the results. Thanks for those responsible for recreating the acoustics of a different space than the one where the recording was made and congratulations for the members of Capella Romana.
How enchanting... Wow, very synced and performed to perfection. I can listen to it for hours and at any given time.
All you need to do is go to a Greek Orthodox Church on a Sunday morning.
Beautiful touching the soul
Excellent! Such musicianship. Well done.
Υπέροχη χορωδία, άριστη χοραρχία, θαυμάσιο άκουσμα!!! Καλή συνέχεια.
Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, we are all brothers. Let us love one another and live in peace...
You have the right mind and this is what God intended!
Physical resonance. Perfect for meditating. Thank you!
Praying is much more effective than meditation.
Just amazing!! Thank you for posting this performance!!
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
simply Divine...
It seems incredible to me that the singing is absolutely authentically Greek Orthodox in terms of vocal production, intonation, ornamentation, pronunciation, etc., yet most of the singers are probably not of Greek heritage nor Orthodox background. Μπράβο! You've done something very special here, and it deserves wide attention.
I believe the founder of Capella Romana is Greek and has some position with St. Vladimir Seminary. Other members of their leadership are involved the Church as well. I think they have a bishop as an honorary board member too. It sounds authentic because in most ways, it is authentically Orthodox.
BEST OF THE BEST. MISTRZOSTWO!
Thank you! So beautiful!!!
This fills my heart with love and peace.
So unreal!!! I've never heard something like the angels
Wow...so beautiful. Thank you.
this is amazing! great performance!
Wunderschön

Hagia Sofia must be reconquer by the Orthodox Christians
I am a muslim and we will conquer constantinople in the near future and we will return hagia sophia to the orthodox brothers and apologize this is a prophecy of our prophet (PBUH) but dont worry about this donkies in the comment section they cannot do nothing about its matter if time after the great war(armaggedon) constantinople will be conquered peace to you brother

Just... WOW
This is one of my favorite Capella Romana performances. What is the likelihood that the ensemble might record a full Imperial-style Divine Liturgy using this acoustic technology? I've listened to this recording hundreds of times. Thank you for this taste of heaven. May I please have more?
Amazing. That's all I can say.
excellent
I 'am christian chatolic but i loves the chant orthodox

it is simply stupid that we need science and lots of funds to "replicate" acoustics of a building which is always available. i hope i will join a christian hymn singing session there as a turkish muslim one day
You will only when it is freed from occupation.
Holy holy holy....
I went to Istanbul last month. Listening to this recording, imagining this sound in Hagia Spophia, the word peace springs to mind: Hagia Sophia is in a way a symbol for peace, how different cultures can live together, side by side, respecting each other believes - something we we could really do with in this time and age..... The sound of these voices manages to capture this peaceful harmony. Thank you and congratulations to everbody involved in this project!
If only! Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox church and the spiritual center of the Eastern Church. When the fragment of the Eastern Roman empire was finally conquered in 1453, HS was turned into a mosque - its mosaics were covered over. All traces of Christian iconography were obliterated. In the 1930s, it was turned into a museum and the old images were gradually restored. The restoration since then has been endless. When I went there in 2015, half of the nave was covered with scaffolding. The harmony is fading with the modern zealous Turkish government. It turned the Hagia Sophia church in Trebizond back into a mosque after extensive restoration work on its mosaics. It has been inciting calls to turn the HS in Istanbul into a mosque as well. That would be a terrible loss to the non-Muslim world and perhaps to the Muslim and Turkish world that values the art of the past.
Hagia Sophia is now a symbol of Islamic terror for Eastern Europe and Orthodoxy. Read its history and what the Ottomans helped by the templars did. If anything it is a symbol of war, of pain and regret and of why different cultures CANNOT live side by side. The Ottomans enslaved and killed Eastern Europeans and the Catholic Church helped them. Children were taken as sex slaves from all countries in Eastern Europe.
I'm certain you are well intentioned and probably a little bit too idealistic, but please read the history of our side of Europe.
Sorry lady, you’ve got it all wrong. Hagia Sophia was the greatest Christian church for centuries, the center of one of the greatest Christian empires, the eastern hellenized Roman Empire. Couldn’t be more fanatically Christian than this. Turkish tribes came from Mongolia to the shores of Asia Minor as late as 10th 11nth c. They concerned Byzantium because of internal strife and enslaved millions of people and destroyed Hellenism. 4 hundred year later after endless resistance and constant revolutions our ancestors repossessed a very small part of the Empire mainland Greece and the islands. Unfortunately for political reasons European scholars had buried the history of bysantine empire, the greatness which exceeded in every aspect any other great European one. And the crucial role that it has played by charismatic emperors and generals for repelling for a thousand years all the barbaric nations ( Persians, Arabs etc.) from Europe giving the great European nations the chance to flourish and create the modern western civilization.
vana kanderaki συγχαρητήρια!
@@stephenchakwin4894 It is tragic that the Islamic world is relentlessly destroying the Christian heritage that they conquered and inherited. The consolation is that the Lord is a God of beauty and this song and its incredible setting are merely a preview of heaven. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
Αμήν!

Dear god 😮
Lirycs of the song?
This is beautiful.
Can someone tell me what they're saying between 6:10 - 7:02 before "basileon"?
I couldn't figure from the transliteration of the hymn.
Hi... it is called a "terirem"... phonetics, syllables without meaning, like a musical extension.
forums.orthodoxchristianity.net/threads/terirem.55823
Some excerpts from the article
"St. Augustine refers to the ecstatic nature of wordless jubilation, and both he and St. Ieronymos identify the same with the early Christian concept of glossolalia [PL XXXVII, 1272 and PL XXVI, 970]. Commentators agree that such praise was a human imitation of the ceaseless chants of angels"
Is this too late?
It is terirem, saw it in the comments
It is the Cherubic hymn of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy
Очень красиво, но немного грустно 🥺
I wonder if when the EOs come into communion with the apostolic see of the chair of Saint Peter how would this chants sound in Saint Peters Basilica
Vatican: criminial jesuits, gay priests and bishops, money launderring by the Vatican bank and a freemason (Francis) as a pope, lapse in faith by pope & cardinals & bishops,
Any communion with THIS cesspool is impossible.
You are confused. The Eastern Orthodox are in communion with the "chair of St. Peter". We always have been, since the very beginning. In Acts we are told that the first Christians were in Antioch, and Peter was bishop of Antioch for 12 years before going to Rome. Here it is, some 2,000 years later and I'm a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. We're still here, celebrating the Divine Liturgy. R.C.'s dont seem to be aware of that little fact.
@@deppo_zweifler9029 in Fact, Yes It is imposible to be in comunion with an unapostolic FEDERATION OF CHURCHES. With ethnocentric churches wich follow heretical Filetism.
@@johangambleputty7658 no, You Fall from the comunion with the Saints and the Apostles, Since the First century The Churches regarded Rome as the APOSTOLIC SEE due to Peter and Paul, no due to the emperor as Constantinople misunderstood .

Why do you have to announce it lol what's wrong with you athiests.
@@theboyisso6960 There's nothing wrong with atheists (note correct spelling). It's the nut-jobs intent on war over sky faeries that have the problem.
@@tuftynuts let's be honest, those warring in the name of gods, are doing it for gold, land, and glory, not a god. That's just the excuse given to the commoners
I think you totally forget the most bloody and brutal mass murders of the entire history of humanity were commited by Athiest secularists. Human corruption is not limited to religious people. Also war in of itself is not bad especially in defence of the christian world in the ancient days. What would you do it the enemy was on your doorstep ready to take your children forcefully into their idea of the world?
It is not an Hymn....it is a mystagogy that leads you to the sacred mysteries of the belief system of Christianity....
felaket benziyor türk musikisine.
Valla öyle
It's beautifully done. However, I wonder if people had that much of a sense of rhythm in chant during that early era. Seems like it would have been a lot looser, more ecstatic
Maggie Duffey The tradition in the Church has certain rhythms for each Tone. Ecstaticism would destroy the rhythmic nature of the Tone. Also, "looser" would mean "mush" in this acoustic.
"Seems like it would have been a lot looser, more ecstatic" What does it seem to you like that? How did you reach that conclusion, if I may ask.
@@rocoreb , just recognizing the "time" was not bound by beat. I'm not sure how solidified that concept would have been. Certainly not in terms of western consciousness. It was coming but it wasn't fully incarnated in the human being yet. To me, time and rhythm would have been more about times of day, sun and moon, seasons. I just don't feel like people would have felt rhythm in that way, especially with word and prayer. Seems almost like we would not have been that incarnated yet - still coming down to earth. Just a feeling and also my sense when I have sung chant like Hildegard.
@@chelseahuber9331 no, a sense of rhythm is inherent in all humans, even deaf ones. Even the word rhythm is ancient Greek. What you're describing is the melismatic nature of medieval chants. But just because they didn't write it on paper like we do doesn't mean they didn't understand the concepts of time and tempo, especially the Greeks.
@@chelseahuber9331 Orthodox chanting is not plain singing. It's more complex, technical and specialised than common singing. Orthodox chanters are vocally superior to common singers. Every note you hear has a purpose and a reason behind it.

totally pagan
It's not pagan at all
MusicMajorMaestro what do youmean?
How is this pagan? It's a traditional Byzantine Orthodox chant. The Byzantines were Christians. Even though there is Muslim and pagan music vaguely similar to this, this is uniquely Christian spiritual music.
