Tipăriturile psaltice ale lui Macarie Ieromonahul din Biblioteca Sfântului Sinod - la 180 de ani de la trecerea la cele veşnice a dascălului de psaltichie (1836-2016)
The Musical Prints of Macarius Hiermonk from Holy Synod Library

Bibliography

Summary/Abstract: This year marks 180 years since the death of the great teacher of the Romanian church music, the priest monk Macarius. Therefore we considered necessary a reminder of his great contributions to the development of Romanian church music. He printed the first books in Romanian church music underlying books for Romanian church music today. In this article I outlined some aspects of his life, I carefully reviewed all his work printed in his lifetime and after 1836 and noticed that almost all the songs composed or translated by the priest monk Macarius even if they were written almost two centuries ago, today they are singing in the Romanian Orthodox Church. The Library of the Holy Synod has 231 copies of books printed by Makarios in Vienna in 1823 and in Bucharest in 1927, perhaps most in Romania. Most of Macarius's books have reached the Synodal Library from the Library of the Seminary Central in Bucharest. These books were used by seminarians students as textbooks for learning the church music.
