The main focus will be on studying the Znamenny notation used to record liturgical chants before the church reforms of Patriarch Nikon. Scientists will conduct a comparative analysis of pre-reform chants with later examples, including materials from the collection of the Solovetsky Museum-Reserve.
Director of the Intellectual Center of NArFU Svetlana Tyukina reported that the result of the study will be a concert in the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral, where the restored chants will be performed. In addition, the prepared materials will be included in the educational game "The Sound of Solovki" and reference books for tour guides, Gazeta.SPb reports.
