The Anastasimarion Of Dionysios Photeinos

This article is just a part of a concentrated attempt to investigate the contribution made by the musician Dionysios Photeinos ina period of time prior to the Reform of 1814 and the reception his works met with in the Romanian countries .

Among the great orientalists of his time (Spătarul Milescu, Dimitrie Cantemir and Ienăchiță Văcărescu), Dionysios Photeinos-Moraites (Διονυσιος Φωτεινος) was one of the outstanding Greek musicians who settled in Wallachia at the beginning of the 19^th century¹ and wrote The Anastasimatarion and The Doxastar, which were translated into Romanian and published by Anton Pann. These important volumes were accompanied by other works: heruvika (gr. ms. 768, B.A.R.), kinonika, doxologies, etc., works that enjoyed a great popularity in the Romanian countries throughout the entire 19^th century.
