This conference aims at being an opportunity for exchange and discussion among 18 specialists of the Syriac Musical Tradition or specialists of its influences and exchanges with other traditions. The intention is to review the existing status of works and to revitalize the current research about it. The conference is public and largely open to representatives of the Syriac communities, to HEM and partner Universities students, and to any interested person. Presentations given during the conference will be published. Several concerts are offered to illustrate the conference.
The topics to be discussed develop four streams of analysis:
- Sources and development of Syriac Music
- Characteristics: Syriac octoechos, modes, tetrachords, composition principles of Syriac melodies
- Exchanges and influences between traditions
- Preservation and heritage status
