    Cherubic Hymn in Mode 1 - Manuel Chrysaphes, MS Mt. Athos, Iviron 1120 (1458)
    Program note:
    Dry versus Wet Sound and the Experiment with Live Auralization in Bing Hall
    Cappella Romana, Stanford's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics and the Art & Art History Department
    Tonight we will experiment with digital technology in the second half of Cappella
    Romana's concert in order to transform the Bing Hall into the reverberant soundscape
    of Hagia Sophia (532-537), which defined the medieval spiritual experience and man's embeddedness in the world.
    We live in a culture that values dry, direct, and efficient sound. This aesthetic
    predisposition emerged during the Machine Age (1900-1933) and it transformed our
    relationship to sound. Before, speech or chanting reverberating in resonant ancient stone interiors made individual words unclear. The electroacoustic signal, stripped of ambient noise, and piped into dry and inert rooms, by contrast, allowed individual words to be heard with clarity and directness.
    Modern acoustics started with the building of Boston's Symphony Hall (1900). In
    the process the physicist Wallace Sabine discovered a formula for predicting the
    reverberation of a space. This is the length of time a sound produced in an interior
    continues to reflect off surfaces until it gradually decays into inaudibility. Sabine's
    formula established a relation between materials and interior volume. This discovery
    ushered in the development of acoustics as science and the engineering of new synthetic building materials. Both advances allowed the reverberation of any interior to be manipulated and adjusted for the particular function of a space. As the aesthetics of the modern dry and efficient sound permeated the city, it shaped the expectation of concert hall acoustics from an average reverberation time of 4 seconds to a drop to ca. 2 seconds. In treating reverberation as noise, modern technology severed the relationship between sound and space.
    By contrast, in the pre-modern world the acoustics of the space was the direct product
    of the natural materials. The marble interior of Hagia Sophia was 70 meters long, while in height it reached 56 meters at the apex of the great dome. The vast chamber and its reflective surfaces of marble and gold resulted in unprecedented acoustics of over ten seconds reverberation time. As a museum Hagia Sophia today has lost its voice, no performances could take place in it. Using new digital technology developed at CCRMA, the second portion of Cappella Romana's concert at Bing aims to recreate sound of what singing in Hagia Sophia must have been like. Each singer caries a microphone that records the sound transforming it into a digital signal, which is then imprinted with the reverberant response of Hagia Sophia. What you hear as a wet sound is the product of a digitally produced signal transmitted through loudspeakers placed strategically to create an enveloping soundfield. This digital signal may shock you with the way it relativizes speech, transforming its content into a chiaroscuro of indistinct but immersive sound. For the Byzantines, this sonic experience was associated with the water: the waves of the sea.

      I wonder about this with the new Muslim militancy in Turkey and the gravitational pull toward making HS a mosque again. When the Pope visited a while ago there were precautions against prayer. Correspondingly Erdogan opened a space in the building to Muslim prayer last year. Odd since it seems to be agreed that the Muslim god and the Christian god are the same god.

    • @SymeonPhronema

      My guess is that Erdogan will get his wish and it will become a mosque again. Such a shame as it's a beautiful cathedral built in honor of our Lord. That said, the building is only a building, and the church of our Lord will continue unto the ages, even without it. Lord Have Mercy!

      Not one of the nations of Europe will respond to a call to crusade; the incumbent Pope will never call the Tenth Crusade anyways. The Age of Crusading is long past. Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire will never return. The landmass of Asia Minor will forever be the nation of Turkey. The former Constantinople will remain Istanbul. Hagia Sophia will never be an Eastern Orthodox cathedral again, and Patriarch Bartholomew will never set foot in it, nor will any of his patriarchal successors. That is the sad but very real truth of things. The Holy Spirit departed on May 29th, 1453 as observed by many; a strange but glorious light rising from the Hagia's dome and disappearing into the sky. The death of Christianity in Anatolia.

Όπως είπε ο Άγιος Παίσιος σε αξιωματικό του Ελληνικού στρατού που τον επισκέφθηκε "Την Πόλη θα την πάρουμε στη ζωή μας". Συνεπώς, σύντομα στην εκκλησία της "Σοφίας του Θεού" θα ολοκληρωθεί η λειτουργία που διακόπει το 1453 μ.Χ. και στη συνέχεια θα λειτουργεί στον αιώνα των αιώνων ως Η Εκκλησία της Ορθοδοξίας και όλων των Χριστιανών.

    Beautiful. A worshipful hymn and a tribute to the Eastern Romans. A song sung for over a thousand years. I trust that we will sing it in heaven.
    Found this as a translation of the hymn:
    "Let us, who mystically represent the cherubim and sing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-giving trinity, lay aside all worldly cares, that we may receive the King of all, invisibly escorted by the angelic hosts. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia."
    Can anyone verify that the words are correct?

    I went to Istanbul last month. Listening to this recording, imagining this sound in Hagia Spophia, the word peace springs to mind: Hagia Sophia is in a way a symbol for peace, how different cultures can live together, side by side, respecting each other believes - something we we could really do with in this time and age..... The sound of these voices manages to capture this peaceful harmony. Thank you and congratulations to everbody involved in this project!

      If only! Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox church and the spiritual center of the Eastern Church. When the fragment of the Eastern Roman empire was finally conquered in 1453, HS was turned into a mosque - its mosaics were covered over. All traces of Christian iconography were obliterated. In the 1930s, it was turned into a museum and the old images were gradually restored. The restoration since then has been endless. When I went there in 2015, half of the nave was covered with scaffolding. The harmony is fading with the modern zealous Turkish government. It turned the Hagia Sophia church in Trebizond back into a mosque after extensive restoration work on its mosaics. It has been inciting calls to turn the HS in Istanbul into a mosque as well. That would be a terrible loss to the non-Muslim world and perhaps to the Muslim and Turkish world that values the art of the past.

      Hagia Sophia is now a symbol of Islamic terror for Eastern Europe and Orthodoxy. Read its history and what the Ottomans helped by the templars did. If anything it is a symbol of war, of pain and regret and of why different cultures CANNOT live side by side. The Ottomans enslaved and killed Eastern Europeans and the Catholic Church helped them. Children were taken as sex slaves from all countries in Eastern Europe.
      I'm certain you are well intentioned and probably a little bit too idealistic, but please read the history of our side of Europe.

      Sorry lady, you’ve got it all wrong. Hagia Sophia was the greatest Christian church for centuries, the center of one of the greatest Christian empires, the eastern hellenized Roman Empire. Couldn’t be more fanatically Christian than this. Turkish tribes came from Mongolia to the shores of Asia Minor as late as 10th 11nth c. They concerned Byzantium because of internal strife and enslaved millions of people and destroyed Hellenism. 4 hundred year later after endless resistance and constant revolutions our ancestors repossessed a very small part of the Empire mainland Greece and the islands. Unfortunately for political reasons European scholars had buried the history of bysantine empire, the greatness which exceeded in every aspect any other great European one. And the crucial role that it has played by charismatic emperors and generals for repelling for a thousand years all the barbaric nations ( Persians, Arabs etc.) from Europe giving the great European nations the chance to flourish and create the modern western civilization.

      Some excerpts from the article
      "St. Augustine refers to the ecstatic nature of wordless jubilation, and both he and St. Ieronymos identify the same with the early Christian concept of glossolalia [PL XXXVII, 1272 and PL XXVI, 970]. Commentators agree that such praise was a human imitation of the ceaseless chants of angels"

      You are confused. The Eastern Orthodox are in communion with the "chair of St. Peter". We always have been, since the very beginning. In Acts we are told that the first Christians were in Antioch, and Peter was bishop of Antioch for 12 years before going to Rome. Here it is, some 2,000 years later and I'm a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. We're still here, celebrating the Divine Liturgy. R.C.'s dont seem to be aware of that little fact.
