Book & DVD. This book presents for the first time the complete
chant repertory of an orally transmitted repertory of church hymns
for the celebration of the Byzantine Rite in Sicily. This body of
chant has been cultivated by the Albanian-speaking minorities since
their predecessors from Albania and northern Greece arrived in
Sicily as refugees in the late fifteenth century, as a result of
the Turkish invasion of the Balkan region. Bartolomeo di Salvo
(19161986), a Basilean monk from the monastery of Grottaferrata,
prepared the transcriptions for the series Monumenta Musicae
Byzantinae in the 1950s, but they were never published. Girolamo
Garofalo, ethnomusicologist from Palermo, and Christian Troelsgard,
secretary of the Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, Copenhagen, have
discovered the transcriptions and related documents in archives in
Sicily, Grottaferrata, Rome and Copenhagen. As a result of their
findings, this unique chant collection is now being made available
for the first time. The languages used in the book are English /
Italian (front matter and indices) and Greek (the chant texts).
