Two years ago I collected more than 10,000 melodic formulae of Byzantine music and posted them at http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Formula.html. I and several other composers have found that these lists of formulae help tremendously when writing original melodies of Byzantine chant in any language.
Since then, I have found several typos and formulae that were missing from this collection. On June 17, 2007 I included dozens of these corrections, and also today (June 27, 2008) I have included even more corrections. The files currently posted at that webpage contain all the latest updates. These updates did not change the pagination of the files, because the additional formulae were inserted in the margins.
