Melodies of the Holy Apostolic Church of Armenia: The Liturgy as Sung in Ordinary, During Lent, and on Festivals, transcribed in modern notation by Amy Apcar, represents a landmark effort in the preservation and transmission of Armenian sacred music. Published in the early twentieth century, the work captures the rich modal and chant traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church, translating an oral and neumatic musical heritage into a system accessible to Western-trained musicians and scholars. Apcar’s transcription not only serves as a vital ethnomusicological document but also bridges Eastern liturgical practice and Western musical notation, contributing to the comparative study of Christian chant traditions.
