Evoluţia exighisirii cântărilor în Anastasimatarul lui Anton Pann
The Evolution of Chant Exegesis in the Anastasimatarion of Anton Pann

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to clarify the process of chant adaptation to the Romanian language. What did Anton Pann understand by adaptation? What are the limits of this pattern and what does Anton Pann see as innovation? To answer these questions, I compare the development of chant exegesis at Anton Pann based on a complete analysis of two stichera and other three examples. More exactly, I compare and contrast three musical sources: 185th - 198th Greek Manuscript, Library of the Romanian Patriarchate, 741st - 527th Greek Manuscript, 1853-1854, BAR, Anton Pann's Romanian Anastasimatarion, 1854. The study finds that, for Anton Pann, this process has the meaning of adapting the music to specific Romanian standards, on the one hand, and creating a new song, which preserves the structure, the beginning and the end, on the other hand. The study also notes Anton Pann’s interest in highlighting the expressivity of the song.
