Keywords: Byzantine music; manuscript; notation; protopsalter; composer

Summary/Abstract: In our country, Byzantine church music and that of Byzantine tradition has experienced a signifi cant development since ancient times. The evidence is the great number of musical manuscripts discovered here so far as well as the work of the Romanian protopsalters who had a special interest and the necessary talent to compose and sing this music. The present study brings to light a new psaltic manuscript, which is currently at the Ion Irimescu Art Museum in Falticeni and which comes to confirm this belief and to provide those interested with some of the yet unknown pages of Byzantine music from Romania.
