Automela 112 is the third course in a seven-part series that will study the model melodies (automela) which serve as the musical and metrical basis for other hymns (prosomia). Students will learn one or two automela per week, studying the hymns from both musical score and text and then applying those melodies to other texts while taking into account small rhythmical or melodic changes that may be necessary.

Automela 112 will cover the following melodies:

“While Gabriel was saying,” 1st Mode
“Hearken, ye women,” 2nd Mode
“Awed by the beauty” 3rd Mode
“From the heights our Saviour, Christ,” 3rd Mode
“Unto them that fear Thee,” 4th Mode
“Joseph was amazed,” 4th Mode
“To thee, the Champion Leader,” Plagal 4th Mode.
