I scanned and uploaded Simon Karas' lecture on paleographic research of Byzantine music in Greece (the first file contains the text, the second contains the accompanying diagrams and examples).

In 1975 Karas together with the choir of the Society for Dissemination of National Music was invited to London to participate in Bach Festival. There he presented a lecture on the current status of the research on Byzantine music in Greece (i.e. his own research, as there was no other significant research at the time in Greece). Since Karas was getting requests to distribute the text of the lecture, it was later repeated in Athens in presence of distinguished audience and its text was printed.
The lecture largely deals with criticism of various views of Western scholars associated with MMB. It also presents Karas' views on short exegesis.
I don't think it is appropriate to upload it to the Greek part of the forum, but if anybody wants to do it, he's free to do so (and then see the results ).
