2 Sources * All formulae found in the following list of sources have been included in this compilation: Χερουβικὸν Γρηογρίου Πρωτοψάλτου, (Φωναῖς Αἰσίαις, τ. Γʹ, σελ. 182) Χερουβικὸν Γαβριὴλ Κουντιάδου (Πεντηκοστάριον, σελ. ) Ρουμανικὸν Χερουβικὸν Iosif Monahul (Biblioteca Mănăstirii Neamţ mr001, φ. 369) Χερουβικὸν Γρηγορίου Σιμωνοπετρίτου (Ἀγγελικὸς Χορὸς Δʹ, σελ. 221) «Ταῖς ἀγγελικαῖς» Χρυσάνθου Θεοδοσοπούλου Χερουβικὸν Εὐθυμίου Κωστοπούλου Χερουβικὸν Ἀθανασίου Πέττα From the following source, however, only all its brief and medium-sized formulae have been included in this compilation. Formulae in it that are very long (i.e., more than four lines long) have been omitted from this compilation. Χερουβικὸν Λυκούργου Πετρίδη * Due to the scarcity of sources in this mode, this collection of formulae is necessarily incomplete. In the event that more formulae are needed for a composition, we suggest borrowing formulae from papadic fourth mode and papadic plagal fourth mode. 1694

3 Key: 1 = accented syllable 0 = unaccented syllable X = syllable that may be either accented or unaccented 0 = (bold & italics) initial formula Ç = The original source inserted a "chi" (χ) while continuing the same vowel (which was not necessarily an alpha), even though the word the original text did not contain a "chi." ò = The original source inserted an "n" followed by an epsilon (which sounds like "neh"), even though the word in the original text did not contain an "n" or an epsilon. Õ= The original source inserted an "n" while continuing the same vowel, even though the original word did not contain an "n." Syllables after a cross are repeated syllables. This does not mean, however, that there was a cross in that place in the original music. Since the cross is used in this particular manner for this compilation, any crosses in the original music were not included. Variations of the same formula are indicated in color These and other formulae are available online at:
