The paper discusses compositional techniques of the Byzantine sacred chant in the medieval and post-medieval periods. A pioneering research in local and international medieval musicology, the article relies on contemporary musical codices, theoretical treatises and liturgical books to chart the relationship between the musical notation and the actual sounds produced, as well as the liturgical, theological and cultural context in which a particular composition was created.
