Konstantinos Psachos ((ギリシア語:Κωνσταντίνος Ψάχος); c. 1866 – 1949)〔Romanou (1996), p. 14.〕 was a Greek scholar, educator, musician, composer, cantor and musicologist. == Biography == Born in the village of Mega Revma near Constantinople at some point between the years 1866 and 1876, Konstantinos Psachos' exact date of birth is uncertain. In an autobiographical text, he mentions his birthdate as May 19, 1876.〔"Notes by K.A. Psachos on printed music publishing of his library, I, 1820-1882", in ''The Two Faces Of Greek Musical Heritage'', recorded in the minutes of Musicological Congregation held on 10 and 11 November 2000 at the Academy of Athens, p. 105 (Athens 2003).〕 However, his most important biographer and publisher, George Hadjitheodorou, claims that he must have been born in 1866.〔Hadjitheodorou (1978).〕 He was the son of Irene-Erifylli and Alexander Psachos, descended from Cephalonia. A few years later he entered the Central Seminary of Constantinople as a supernumerary. In the Central Seminary, Psachos completed the circular education and was also taught chanting by the responsible teacher and housekeeper of the School, Archimandrite Theodore Matzouranis.〔Foundation of the Hellenic Word, Konstantinos Psachos, chapter 2.〕 In May 1887, he became a cantor (''domestikos'') at the Church of the Transfiguration in Galata, serving there until 1891. In 1892, he became archcantor at the Saint Charalampos Greek Hospital of Smyrna. He returned to Constantinople and in 1895 was appointed as archcantor at the Metochion of the Holy Sepulchre, where he was given the opportunity to study many manuscripts in the library of the Metochion. He also served as teacher of Greek language and religion in various schools, such as the Girls' School at the Metochion, to which he was appointed in 1896.〔Despotopoulou, Fountoulaki (2004), pp. 190-191.〕 In 1898, he helped establish the "Ecclesiastical Music Association of Constantinople", of which he was special secretary and where he actively served until 1902, when he resigned. He also served as archcantor at the churches of Saint Theodore of Vlanga (1901 to 1903) and Saint Nicholas of Galata (1903 to 1904).〔Greek Musipedia: (Konstantinos Psachos ).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Konstantinos Psachos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
