Résumé de la conférence :
"Giving breath to the silent signs“
Revival of Oriental Secular Music from Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts
From the 10th century Byzantine music teachers created and developed a music notation by using musical signs. Since the late 14th century it has also been used for transcriptions of secular music. The quantitative evidence is impressive: A total of 4,200 pages containing transcribed secular pieces bear witness to a total of approximately 1050 works recorded, within them Ottoman court music, Phanariot songs, Persian Art Music, as well as a few Greek folk songs. For the vast majority, these recordings are in the so-called old method, a kind of musical shorthand. With the introduction of the New Method, these works remained unknown and obscure for various reasons; so these musical signs of notation remained silent.The Kyriakos Kalaitzidis's study "Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts as a Source for Oriental Secular Music", published by the Orient-Institut Istanbul, gave a new perspective to the study and performance of Oriental Secular Music, as preserved in the Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts. The transcription into staff notation, the publication, and ultimately, the performance and the recording of this largely unknown repertoire brings to life unknown aspects of this great Middle East shared musical heritage both in terms of music practice and in its deeper understanding.

Heures d'ouverture
Kyriakos Kalaitzidis
Né à Thessalonique (Grèce) de parents originaires de Pontos et de Cappadoce, Kyriakos Kalaitzidis est un compositeur et musicien aujourd’hui considéré comme le plus brillant chercheur en musique laïque modale de la période post-byzantine. Il a effectué un doctorat en musicologie byzantine à l’Université d’Athènes et a été récipiendaire d’une bourse de la fondation espagnole Mundo en Armonia entre 2006 et 2008.
En 1993, il a fondé En Chordais avec d’autres musiciens, un organisme culturel actif dans la recherche, la formation et la promotion des traditions musicales méditerranéennes, qui édite des CD, des livres et se produit en concert. En Chordais a reçu la prestigieuse distinction Prix France Musique des Musiques du Monde 2008 de Radio France et a figuré parmi les candidats sélectionnés pour la remise du Prix Sharjah de l’UNESCO en 2006.
Kyriakos est devenu directeur artistique de MediMuses en 2002, projet triennal dédié à la recherche et à la reconnaissance de la musique du bassin méditerranéen et soutenu par le programme Euromed Heritage de l’Union européenne.
