Oktoih - collection of liturgical chants

Pojanje je vrsta pjevane molitve koja se izvodi u Pravoslavnoj crkvi. Formirano je još u 18. stoljeću i naziva se još i karlovačko pojanje po Karlovačkoj mitropoliji u okviru koje se formiralo. Svi napjevi koji se poju nalaze se u jednoglasnoj zbirci liturgijskih napjeva koja se naziva Oktoih - Osmoglasnik. Unutar Osmoglasnika napjevi su poredani po sadrţaju, obliku, naĉinu i razmjeru pojanja, po tome kako se trebamo drţati prilikom pojanja (sjedeti, stajati ili kleĉati), po tome kada se poju i po izrazima iz Svetog Pisma. Postoji i 8 glasova koji se uglavnom dijele na samostalni, troparski, antifonski te katavasijski. Glazbeni napjevi su jednoglasni, a njih su brojni skladateljili obradili za višeglasne zborove i tako ih uveli u umjetniĉku glazbu. Neki od najpoznatijih su Tebe poem i Iže Heruvimi u obradi S. Mokranjca i N. Baraĉkog koji su se najviše bavili problematikom glasova u Osmoglasniku i zapisali notni tekst najvećeg dijela duhovnih napjeva.The appearance is a kind of singing prayer that is performed in the Orthodox Church. It was formed in the 18th century and it is also called the Karlovac chanting because it is related to the Karlovac metropolis within which it was formed. All the songs for chanting are in the unanimous collection of liturgical songs called Octoechos – Eight Tones or Eight Modes. Within the Octoechos, the songs are arranged according to the content, form, manner and scale of chanting, how to keep in chanting (sit, stand, or kneel), when it comes to the expression and in the expressions of the Scripture. There are also 8 voices that are mostly divided into standalone, trophic, antiphonic, and katavasian. Music notes are unanimous and many composers have worked on multi-chamber choirs and introduced them into art music. Some of the most famous are Tebe poem and Iže Heruvimi in the process of S. Mokranjac and N. Baraĉki who were most concerned with the issue of Ochtoechoes voices and wrote the notable text of most of the spiritual songs
