摘要
The paper discusses the meaning and function of modality in Armenian church music, its relation to issues of neumatic notation, oral reconstruction and tonal ambiguity; and the manner in which the latter has influenced nineteenth-century harmonisations, some of which evince a harmonic language anticipating similar effects deployed by Western composers. Matters of performance practice are touched upon, and a critique of efforts to decipher neumatic notation has been provided.
