I10-R307-article-227012021-06-01T21:54:40Z Proclo's hymns: memory and synthesis of the ancient hymnody Los himnos de Proclo: memoria y síntesis de la himnodia antigua Abritta, Alejandro Proclo himnodia prosodia teoría coral Proclus hymnody prosody choral theory In the dawn of the antiquity, when the advance of Christianity was unstoppable and the pagan cults contracted in the face of the increasing pressure of the church, Proclus’ figure presents itself as a banner of Greek tradition. The life and works of the neoplatonic philosopher allow seeing a huge effort to preserve the Hellenic cultural memory in a context where the world that saw it rise was disappearing quickly. The present study has two main foci. Firstly, the presentation of a model of poetic composition based in a phonetic that probably by the 5th century C. e. was no longer the one of the spoken Greek, and that, nonetheless, is systematically used by Proclus for the production of his poetry. Secondly, the structural analysis of a hymn, in order to prove that, in the same recuperation effort, it reflects the patterns detected in the ancient hymns and that it also synthesizes different compositional strategies observed in them. En el crepúsculo de la Antigüedad, cuando el avance del cristianismo era ya incontenible y los cultos paganos se contraían ante la creciente presión de la Iglesia, la figura de Proclo se presenta como un estandarte de la tradición griega. La vida y la obra del filósofo neoplatónico permiten observar un inmenso esfuerzo por preservar la memoria cultural helénica en un contexto en donde el mundo que la había visto surgir estaba desapareciendo rápidamente. El presente estudio tiene dos focos principales. Primero, la presentación de un modelo de composición poética basado en una fonética que probablemente para el siglo V d.C. ya no era la del griego hablado, y que, sin embargo, es sistemáticamente utilizada por Proclo para la producción de su poesía. Segundo, el análisis estructural de un himno, a fin de demostrar que, en el mismo esfuerzo de recuperación, ésta refleja los patrones detectables en los himnos antiguos, y además sintetiza diferentes estrategias compositivas observables en éstos.

| description |
In the dawn of the antiquity, when the advance of Christianity was unstoppable and the pagan cults contracted in the face of the increasing pressure of the church, Proclus’ figure presents itself as a banner of Greek tradition. The life and works of the neoplatonic philosopher allow seeing a huge effort to preserve the Hellenic cultural memory in a context where the world that saw it rise was disappearing quickly. The present study has two main foci. Firstly, the presentation of a model of poetic composition based in a phonetic that probably by the 5th century C. e. was no longer the one of the spoken Greek, and that, nonetheless, is systematically used by Proclus for the production of his poetry. Secondly, the structural analysis of a hymn, in order to prove that, in the same recuperation effort, it reflects the patterns detected in the ancient hymns and that it also synthesizes different compositional strategies observed in them. |
