Summary/Abstract: Given the fact that the compositional personality of the Psalter was hardly recognized and still is hardly recognized nowadays, through the case study I propose I prove that the great personalities of the musicological byzantine literature from the nineteenth century imposed themselves not only through the masterful handling of the well-known rhetorical patterns, but also through their own creative techniques, which customizes them stylistically. I compared the solutions of the Byzantine interpretation of the text Anastasima Eothina in second mode by Macarie the Hieromonk, Dimitrie Suceveanu and Nectarie Vlachos at the architectural conception level, of the proportioning of the form, of the lexicon grouped by syntactic functions, of the ornamental system and of the melo-rhythmic dynamic.
