Ring the bell at the Orthodox Church. Orthodox prayers

2.1. underground position

2.1.1. The church ringing is an invisible part of Orthodox worship, and its absence can be justified by the lack of technical means for ringing.

2.1.2. The Orthodox jingle of meanings is to:
- call the believers to the service;
- determine the purity of the Church and its services;
- inform those present and those not present at the church about the most important moments of the service;
- with the sound of this, with the dispensed grace of God, Christians rose in piety and faith; the forces, the approach and the hardening of the demons shook and collapsed;
the wordless creation of God, those elements were quieted and served for the benefit of people.

2.1.3. Our traditional church unit has been shaped and developed over hundreds of years through the rise of white and rhythmic rivets from them.
Therefore, the basis of our Orthodox ringing lies not in melody, but in rhythm with powerful dynamics and in the mutual timbres of adjacent ringings and beats.

2.1.4. The characteristic features of the Orthodox ringing are: spirituality, sweetness, mortality, originality and synchronicity with divine services.

2.1.5. Be it electronic imitation, strengthening of bells with technical means, amplification of sound in non-traditional ways, replacement of the bell with automation or the use of phonograms in the Orthodox bell is unacceptable, as it is not consistent with liturgical traditions Churches.

2.1.6. Both the bell and the bell are equipped with anniversary chimes, so there is no mixing of church bells with them (especially since the chimes are used to take part in the bells for divine services).

2.1.7. Due to the local authorities, church bells can be used for emergency calls to people, warnings about natural disasters, the disappearance of especially important persons, as well as for other special and urgent situations.

2.2. Call the bell

2.2.1. To maintain the ringing in the Russian Orthodox Church, the following methods may be used (subject to the increase in their purity):
- beat the hand (smaller) trees;
- there were great (great) trees;
- beat (riveted) metal;
- Call.

2.2.2. The place where the bells are placed, their name and the order of the bells during divine services, are determined by the bell ringer under the authority of the rector and up to the status of the monastery and the Statute of the church bell.

2.2.3. And the songs of the tradition of making beats and bells are heard in Russia; Their material, shape and sound may vary. Golovne is not an external appearance or material, but a symbol, the spiritual essence of that prayer.

2.2.4. The white wooden frame has a paddle-shaped board 1-3 m long, 10-20 cm wide and 10-30 mm thick (the thickness can be changed by half at the end). At the ends of the hand beat, as a rule, there are 3, 4 or 5 openings drilled, which symbolize the Holy Trinity, the Cross of the Lord or the Passion of the Lord.
The trees were carried to musical percussion instruments with a self-sounding body. The material could only be beaten with a hammer - the wood would be sound, dry, with at least a minimum of knots and cracks.
It turns out that it is touching the left hand. The sound is drawn loudly (riveting) on a new wooden hammer and lies in the material of the hammer, as well as the force of the blow (from the center to the edges).
There may be only one tame person in the monastery, but usually only one person during the service.

2.2.5. The trees are either large or large, with a board 2-4 m long, 25-50 cm wide and 30-60 mm thick. At the ends of the great beat, 3, 4 or 5 openings are often drilled.
It is hung permanently at the entrance to the temple, in the refectory, in the cell, in the church or in any other place. The sound is produced by hitting it with a wooden hammer and remains between the material and the force of the blow (from the center to the edges).
The hammer was able to beat up to great material in the same way as a hand beater.
There may be a splinter of large wooden whites in the monastery, but during divine services, as a rule, one is displayed alone.

2.2.6. Metal hammers (rivets) can be of different sizes, shapes, materials and methods of preparation. Metal was carried to musical percussion instruments with a self-sounding body. The sound is generated by a metal, wooden or plastic hammer and depends on the shape of the hammer, the material of the hammer and the force of the blow.
Due to the presence of a large number of metallic whites, stench can vary greatly in ringing (either independently or simultaneously with ringing) and can be consistently installed in different places according to the understanding of its purpose (by entering or in the middle of the temple, in the refectory, on the dzvinitsa then) .).

2.2.7. Calls can be of different sizes, shapes, materials and methods of production. In Russia, as a result of extensive practice, a tradition was formed when most masters tried to make calls with a “Russian” profile, which may vary depending on the diameter, thickness, height, and size of the bag. This timbre (euphony) and greater triviality of sound (soundness). In this case, the subpoint was not practiced, but was not defended.

The bell rings to musical percussion instruments with a self-sounding sound. In ancient times, in order to obtain the sound of the ringing, the “chain” method of ringing was used to obtain the sound of the ringing (this method was lost in the Pskov-Pechersk Monastery and many other monasteries). However, today, in most cases, hanging calls are made in the traditional Russian, “movable” way, so that they can be heard in the same voice about the call that hangs unbroken. Depending on the number of bells, stinks can vary widely in the bells and are likely to be installed in various places according to their purpose (either at the entrance or in the middle of the temple, in the refectory, at the door Initsi or dzvinitsi, under the dome of the temple, etc.).

2.2.8. In order to best preserve our historical downfall, it is necessary to achieve (either by relying on the sources or by doing it on our own) the certification of all calls, even in churches and monasteries, for purposes that are not without value, mother Finally, the main dimensions and appearance, as well as the registration of sound characteristics.

2.2.9. At the time of one-hour vibration of a number of bells and metal bells (skin rings or all at once), the sonorous ring, according to tradition, consists of three groups: great (blashesniki) -1-5 pcs. - 2-4 pcs. Each of these groups of ringings also contains its own part of the sound, which is also taken care of by the ringers when putting together the composition of the ringing.

2.2.10. In connection with the rhythmic basis of the Orthodox ringing, the ringing of the bells and metal bells is selected not for the notes, but for the euphony of the peculiarities of the sound of the skin bell.

2.2.11. The installation and possession of metal wires must be carried out with regard to the choice of the main direct ringing, the security of minds for the free entry of sound into the wider space, the reliability and safety of the ringer's work, as well as the experience of all calls (technical and organizational) to achieve timeliness and synchronicity of the bell with divine services .

2.2.12. Before the church bell, the bell was obligatory to be sanctified until the Rite of the Blessed Campaign;

2.3. About the ringer

2.3.1. Believers (both men and women) are allowed to perform bell ringing if they have undergone basic training from the approved bell ringer or have completed training courses for church bell ringers. In this case, the bell-ringer is responsible for losing not only the basic knowledge of practical ringing, but also minimal knowledge about worship and the safety of work with bells and bells.

2.3.2. The ringing sound is made by a bell ringer, over whom a special prayer is read, or to one who is blessed by the abbot of the temple or monastery and carries out this hearing with due responsibility.

2.3.3. Before every divine service, the bell ringing request should be taken from the rector or priest to bless the bell ringer, and also, perhaps, other orders related to its conduct.

2.3.4. Before starting the ringing, the bell-ringer must adjust himself spiritually and psychologically, checking the suspension and the ringing system and thinking through the composition of the ringing until the end. According to the tradition, after the Holy Banner, the church service is obliged to begin and accompany the reading of psalms of the 118th and 50th (extended to the Typikon) or for the blessings of the rector, whoever presides over the divine service prayers.

2.3.5. When making these calls, the bell-ringer is obliged to comply with statutory documents, natural canons, religious traditions, the symbol (internal place) of the bell in each specific liturgical service and, especially, the inscriptions of the rector and priest.

2.3.6. The bell ringer needs to remember that there is a safe link between the temple and the sky, his ring conveys prayers in the church and continues after the end of the service. This bell ringer must learn not only the basics of Orthodox bell ringing, but also gradually develop his mastery, good knowledge of worship, and understand the spiritual (internal) meaning of his ringing, which is inconceivable without the churchliness of his bell ringer. steadfast care by the rector and confessor.

2.3.7. During group ringing, in order to achieve its goodness and beauty, all bell ringers, even before the start of ringing, need to become familiar with the features of the ringing system, select a wired ringer and learn about size, composition, dynamics, etc. Our intelligence is in the ring.

2.3.8. The bell ringer is obliged to be seen on the bell or bell as a dignified ruler, who conveys the knowledge of the security calls of the work with bells and bells, regularly monitoring them and their suspension, promptly revealing and eliminating all shortcomings c.
The bell also demonstrates the synchronization of the bells during the hour of worship, for which it is possible to use a positive bell (yasak, candiya) or technical means: light bulbs, electric dial, radio broadcast ii, racii then.
If there are a number of bell ringers in the church, then among them there is a senior one, who ensures the order of the bell ringing and the correctness of the church bell ringing.

2.3.9. Regardless of the song's regulation, the church service in every church and monastery (through the specificity of the service, worship and tradition) varies. Therefore, the bell ringer's responsibilities include a report describing his or her call, all calls and bells, a clearing of the bell and the method of calling, as well as information about the callers, the type of call (combined with their record in any form i) and Chinu (Statute) ringing at your own temple or monastery throughout the entire river. This information must be preserved in the archives of the temple or monastery and serve as the basis for transmitting the tradition of Orthodox bells to future generations of bell-ringers.

2.4. Canonical calls
2.4.1. The church service includes the equivalent temple clergy - with them, as a rule, the divine service begins and ends. Emerging into our hearing and inner state, it awakens from spiritual sleep, cleanses our souls, reminding us of our Lord and His Judgment, the richness of life on earth and eternal life in Heaven.

Having finally completed its signaling function, the church bell gradually began to show off not only the beginning and end, but also the most important parts of the service, expressing the joy, confusion and triumph of the day that is being celebrated. The stars have appeared in different ways, each of which has its own name and significance.

2.4.2. The venerable rite of the Orthodox bell, which originated in Russia from ancient times and is still preserved in many monasteries, consists of a step-by-step breakdown of all types of bells and bells according to their symbol and purity.

After the blessing has been removed for the ringing, the bell rings at the small (hand) tree, walking around it rings near the temple in which the service will be held, and there are short bells on four sides of the light for the chanting of prayers.

Then he goes up to the great (great) wooden white and also rhythmically strikes into it, once again psalm 50 or other common liturgical prayers.

After this, the riveting of the metal beater (chi beat) begins from the reading of Psalm 50 and another prayer once. And, you will find, at Christmas time the week-long ringing of the bell ends with the ringing of the bell.
This Rite of Orthodox ringing is in line with the ancient traditions of Orthodoxy and the rise of new times. The establishment of greater order can be changed depending on the evidence of these and other features of the call, as well as the local traditions and traditions of each monastery. And here we cannot make a clear difference between the bells and bells. Axis, for example, as the Fathers of the Church explained the sense and the sound of the bells and ringings of the Orthodox bell: “The small voice that occurs at small vespers, as low-voiced and deaf, signifies ancient prophets and only as a cover and transformation of the future Come on; The great voice that vibrates on the holy mornings, like a ringing sound and spreading throughout the air, signifies the prayer of the Gospel throughout the whole earth. And the voice on the metal sounded and the bells announced to us the coming Judgment and signifies that angelic trumpet that may sound from all the trumpets until the final Judgment.”

2.4.3. For historical reasons, it turned out that in Russia, starting from the 15th century, bells began to gradually replace the bells, and at this time, in the majority of churches and monasteries, only bells from bells and/or metal bells are used. l.

In this case, there are 4 types of canonical bells, which together or in combination create all the diversity of the Orthodox bell: blagovist, perebir, peredzvon and trezvon.

2.4.4. Blagovist is one of the oldest calls of the Orthodox Church and is called so to those who bring good, joyful news about the beginning of the divine service. This call can also be made during the hour of worship.
The Evangelist works with peaceful blows on one of the largest bells or beatings, which on the great vigils, according to tradition, can be up to five, according to the type of service and on which days the bell is celebrated, write their names, for example: Svyatkovy (urochisty), polyeleiny , weekly, simple (weekday) and small (pisny). In practice, with the blessing of the abbot, the benefactors may also be given other special names, arising from the place of installation or preparation, the name of the donor, the peculiarity of the sound, etc. , and then there will be more peaceful blows.

During the liturgical service, the blasphemy is either primary (parts or two edges of the bell) or hymn (rare or one end of the bell). In the great saint's gospel, the bell is played by the largest ringing in the bell, and the bell itself, as a rule, sounds more often, louder and louder. The essence of the greatest blagovist in the Orthodox bell is also the title of gross, or great, blagovist, if the blows of the largest bell are interspersed with another great bell.

The hour for blasphemy is determined by the rector according to the type of service and tradition: according to the Typikon, reading the 118th psalm once or reading the 50th psalm 12 times, the chanting hour (10-30 khvilin) or the number of beats: 12, 25, 30, 40 , 50, 60, etc. (in line with the chime symbol).

2.4.5. It rings a funeral bell, which expresses confusion and sorrow for the deceased and symbolizes the life of a person from his generation until death. The process consists of a large number of single blows to the skin of the ring or beating from the smallest to the largest, and after that follows a chord with all or the maximum possible number of ringing or beating (so-called blow “usya”), which symbolizes is the level of life. This sorting takes place very slowly during the course of the service, but it can be carried through to the end and end with a blow “for everything.” When playing one by one, the blows on the bell or bell are repeated until the sound from the first blow stops completely. Here, there is no need for haste and the bell ringer must strive for a special penetration of the way of evenly increasing pauses during the striking of the bells (with the adjustment of the individual sound of the bells and bells) and a strong friendly blow “for all”.

2.4.6. Peredzvin is a sumptuously-urgent ringing of the skin, one by one or several times, starting from the largest to the smallest, and symbolizes the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ for the sake of our salvation. The ringing once in every ring with the blow “for everything” is the most summable and lasts only two days per river: on Good Friday and Holy Saturday on the day of the Holy Death of the Lord and His great obeisance. In order for the mournful bell to rise to the Lord, our Savior, in the manner of the Viconn, not being the same as the death knell (overkill) for simple, mortal and sinful people, the chime should sound more swift and even blows.

The ringing of the skin rings several times or bells - ring 3, 5 or 7 times, which symbolizes the Holy Trinity, the Cross (God's Passion) and the Completeness of the Faith (Glory to God) - appears richly and one-hour blow at the number of bells or beating (blow " everything") usually rings once when I finally call back. This type of call, although mournful, is respected by the purity of the city and appears differently in relation to the saint, local traditions or, as the abbot would say.

2.4.7. All the bells kept ringing and ringing. There are no restrictions on its form, the bell-ringer himself chooses the set of calls or bets to be played, as well as the rhythm, dynamics and composition of the call.
The ringing of the peal signifies Christian joy and triumph. From someone to take the fate of calling all three groups of ringing and beating, the skin of which makes its own party. According to the tradition that has become established, in the trezvon vikoryst the measure of the beat is three quarters (3/4) or even quarters (4/4) and the same great blagovisnik can take the part of the same great blasphemer (the jingle or bell), who took part in the blasphemy before cob Whose divine service (less is possible, but not more).

When finished, the sound will ring and there will be 3 cuts: the beginning (seed), the final sound and the end (ending). The seed consists of three rare blows to the sanctuary, which symbolize the Holy Trinity, or other options. The main part of the trezvon (Vlasne Dzvin) can be repeated with short pauses in one, two or three steps (vertex, series), each of which ends with a chord 1, 2 or 3 times following the number of the top. Moreover, such a series of ringing can have its own rhythm, tempo, dynamics and composition. When the trezvon ends, ring it with a three-fold chord or in another way. Undoubtedly, the treble is due to the nature of the divine service, the saints and the places in which the bell goes, which leads to the dullness of its chanting (i.e., the uniqueness of various supernaturalisms). The triviality of the trezvon is indicated by the reading of the 50th psalm once at the chanting hour, according to the character of the saint, the specific minds and remarks of the abbot.

Quote of announcement Orthodox dzvin

"Ringing is a prayer in sound, the icon is to sound"

Ring one of the necessary speeches of the Orthodox Church.
Dzvin is victorious in order to:
1. Call the believers to the Divine Service
2. To celebrate the triumph of the Church and this Divine service
3. Tell those present at the church about the hour of especially important parts of the Divine service.

From the very beginning, before the appearance of bells in Russia, the most secret way of calling the faithful before worship became prominent until the 6th century, when people began to live beatі riveted. Bila(і candia) - these are wooden boards, and riveted- slimy or dark copper bent into round shapes, which were struck with special wooden clubs. And just after the end of the 10th century, the bells began to ring.
The Russian Orthodox ring is significantly different from the rings of other denominations. If the calls of Western Europe have melodic and harmonic foundations / Carellon-bell organ /, then in Russian calls this is practically absent. The basis of the Orthodox ringing is rhythm and character. The bell ringer, always sensitive to the inner sense, the sense of rhythm, the miraculous knowledge of the scale and the sound of the bell, the technical voicing, on the basis of the Statute, prayers and a special light-gazer, can through the bell convey joy and calm, deep sorrow and the triumph of spiritual change church service. In the souls of believers who seek the world with the Lord God, the church jingle awakens a bright, joyful and peaceful mood. So a person can tell the state of his soul by ringing. The Orthodox bell has a miraculous power that penetrates deeply into people's hearts.

Having fallen in love with the church jingle, the Russian Orthodox people shared with it all their tracts and confusions. Therefore, the Orthodox call is to serve not only the expressive hour of the Divine service, but also to serve the expressions of joy, confusion and sanity. There are different types of ringing and every type of ringing has its own name and meaning.

The International Center for Ringing Mystery presents a unique archival recording of the Yuletide Ringing of the legendary Master Ivan Vasilyovich Danilov and his student Andriy Anatoliyovich Dyachkov. Arkhangelsk, Mali Koreli Museum of Wooden Architecture, 1997.

See the calls and their names

The call is divided into three main types:

Blagovist
Changed call, sorted out
Vlasne dzvin

Blagovist- these individual blows are measured into one great jingle. With this ringing, the good news of the beginning of worship at the church is announced to the faithful. Blagovist is holy, weekday and song. In the word "bl" A"Govest" is loudly placed in the first warehouse! "Blagovist" is always called the ringing, not the ringing. The ringing in which the gospel is played is called the "blagovist"!
Call back- a series of blows (from one to seven per ring) from large to small, sorting through ringing from the largest ring to the smallest, or with a different number of strikes on the skin. There are two main chimes: funeral and water-blessing.
Vlasne dzvin- this is a characteristic rhythmic ringing from the different main groups of the ringing scale. The ringing of the group includes: the holy ringing (treble, dvodzvin), weekday ringing, as well as the ringing made by the bell-ringer himself, which is the result of the creative work and self-expression of the ringer.

Blagovist purpose of informing about the upcoming beginning of the divine service. The Evangelist “...not only announces the hour of the beginning of the service, but prepares Christians before it... At the end of the day, the Divine Services are already underway,” says Professor Mikhailo Skaballanovich at Tlumachny Typikon. The Evangelist is revived, as it was said above: at the great saint - at the holy bell, before the weekly services - at the weekly bell.

The bell ringer, as follows from the inscriptions of the Typikon, before the ringing of the bell, the brothers must give their blessing to the primate (the priest who performs the service). The blessing of the priest gives the blasphemy, like other bells, the status of a liturgical activity.

The seat of the bell-ringer is crowned by the paraecclesiarch - in the current version - the palamar, the vitarnik and the reader. However, at our time, the right to call has the right of the one whom the rector has blessed, regardless of whether the person belongs to the rank of clerics, clerks, or simply a parishioner.

During the hour of the gospel, the ringer is recommended to read the immaculate (17th kathisma) or 12 times the 50th psalm. “The same gathering strikes the great company not soon, sleeping immaculately, but the words of Psalm 50 to 12” (Typikon, ch. 2). From this inscription, it is clear that the triviality of the ringing indicates approximately 20 quills. However, now, through those that carry a more symbolic, less practical place, the hour of blessing has changed and become approximately 10 hours.

On the cob of the blagovist, play two blows at the meaning of the jingle until the sound is completely extinguished, and from the third the peaceful blows begin. Select the interval between the beats of the track so that the voice rings, otherwise the ringing can be heavy, when the beats are too rare, or alarming, when the beats are too frequent.

On the basis of these Statutory recommendations, the Zvonarsky Statute of the Patriarchal Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow was compiled. Text of the Cathedral Dzvonarsky Statute, confirmation of the blessings of the Holy Patriarch Alexy.

Today, many churches still maintain a unique selection of church bells. Trinity-Sergius Lavra, New Maiden Moscow Monastery, Kirilo-Belozersky Vologda Monastery, Bishop's Door and Assumption Cathedral at Rostov the Great - and this list of monuments of Russian history can be overhauled wait a long time. The term “selection of calls” means the selection of a number of calls collected from a specific monastery or temple. This selection creates a complete musical harmony of all tones and sounds that appear different depending on the size of the calls. There were problems when choosing a specific temple, taking three hours to complete. So we select what is at the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, collecting as many as 486 rocks. Whose collection still preserves the bells that date back to 1422. Most of the unique calls could not survive the motorized era of godlessness in Russia, since the Radyan government barbarously desecrated the temples and impoverished them peacefully. True, during the hour of the Great Great German War, the Radyan order tried to carry out the renovation of several Russian churches with their own rings.

Kissing jingle

In the Orthodox tradition, the call has no less significance as a signal that calls before prayer, but also in a singing manner for the people, which evokes the deep experiences of contact with the Greater forces. It’s not for nothing that Dzvin is called “sound sun,” Blagovist. Call for treatment of psychosomatic illnesses. Today it has already been confirmed: the acoustic sound when ringing widens at the shape of the ridge. This was mathematically discovered at the scientific laboratory of the Moscow ZIL during the updated bells for the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Doctor of Technical Sciences B. N. Nyunin created an accurate diagram of the directness and propinquity of the ringing. The sound descending from the heavens to the earth is silent across the area. Maybe that’s why the impact of ringing on a person’s soul is so great. One of the St. Petersburg psychiatrists laments the mental illness of the bell itself. However, the mystical sound is not only controlled by mental illness. They have already established that the sound that rings everywhere kills pathogenic bacteria within a radius of many kilometers! Our ancestors, having guessed about this, rang the bells wholeheartedly during the hour of the epidemic. Moreover, against specific skin diseases - with a special ringing.

It is not without reason that it is said: “Just as an icon is a prayer in farbs, a temple is a prayer in stone, then a jingle is a prayer in sound, an icon that sounds. This is the sound made of bronze, which the Russian ear of the Orthodox people has chosen for itself as an ideal.” The Orthodox people were revered by the people, lived and died with the ringing of the bell. In view of the numerous outbursts, when the bell rings, who lulled raptly, escaping evil and self-destruction, leading to the end, calling to the temple of the wicked people, who recovered in a new calm and found living strength and sense of sleep bath.

Dzvinki

Zagalnye Vidomosti

On today's day in the Christian world There are three types of ringing, the skins from which hang their strengths and until the bell rings.

1. Orthodox dzvin - it is based on rhythm, power, dynamics and the interaction of timbres. Therefore, in chimes, above all else, euphony (beautifulness) and richness of timbres are valued, and the absolute importance of the fundamental tone does not play a role here. The number of rings in the bell can be set from 5 to 12. The bell will change according to the current language until the songs are presented. Harmony is achieved through the competent selection of bells and the skill of the bell-ringer.

2.Catholic ring - it is based on single or sub-unit blows of a lightened movement on a link that swings or wraps around, which is based on the equipment that counteracts this, so that the center of gravity passes through the entire wrapper. The number of ringings in the ringer is set from 2 to 6. According to tradition, the ringings are selected or adjusted to a single fundamental tone surrounded by a number of overtones. The ringing itself is not so rich and lasts for a number of calls, as well as the amplitude of its strength and the fluidity of its wrapping, so the qualification of the caller is not of particular importance. In some countries, the traditional ringing of the language is also practiced.

3. Caroline's ringing - it is based on the ringer's selection of melodies from the notes from a different set of ringers, which creates a scale for 2 - 5 upper octaves. The chime, as a rule, is driven by a keyboard device (which represents the keyboard of the organ). It is possible to drive tongues and chime hammers through mechanical rods and electromagnetic drives. The ringing bells are tuned exactly to the note, which allows you to pick up overtones and shorten the hour of sounding to 4 - 5 seconds, otherwise important verse melodies. If the carillon is equipped with automatic programmable chimes near the drum or electromagnetic device, it turns into chimes.

Carillon music has nothing in common with church bells.

Knowing the basic importance of the Orthodox and the ancient tradition of ringing, it is easy to understand how different they can be before the selection and selection of calls for the creation of a complete call.

Fundamentals of Orthodox ringing

Ring one of the necessary speeches of the Orthodox Church. The church unit is victorious in order to:

Call the believers to the service.

To celebrate the triumph of the Church and its Divine services.

Tell those present at the church about the hour of especially important parts of the Divine service.

The Orthodox church serves not only for the purposes of Divine services, but also for the expression of joy, confusion and peace for the people. There were different sounds and ringing sounds.

The church is being divided 4 canonical calls: blagovist, perebir, peredzvin and trezvon.

Blagovist- one of the oldest bells of the Orthodox Church and is called so to the one who brings Good, joyful news about the beginning of the Divine Service. This link also informs about the current rite of the Eucharist in the Liturgy and the reading of the Gospel in other services. Blagovist can sound both independently and in a warehouse of other calls.

Perebir- and the funeral (funeral, farewell) chime expresses confusion and sorrow for the deceased and is made up of two parts: the completely canonical (like such an overkill) and the free (trebell).

Call back- Folded in aligned with goodness and overkill. It also consists of two parts: the canonical one (the chime itself) and the free one (the trezvon). Classically, the ring is repeated step by step in the skins (one at a time or several times in the skins), starting from the largest to the smallest (sometimes with the “all” blow), and repeating this way many times.

Trezvon- the most complex in comparison with other canonical bells, and also the most striking in the musical expression of the bell, since the trezvon, in its form, is not bound by church statutes, and therefore different as behind the warehouse of bells, about vykoristovuyutsya, so it has a varied form of vykonannya, rhythm , texture and instrumentation.

Prote dzvin is one of the most brightening rices of Russian life - it is not without liturgical significance. They brought in distinguished guests, gathered people for meetings, announced the recruitment drive, told them about the fun, death and destruction, warned about the approaching gates and fires, showed the way to the mandrians, gave signals to the hour. The calls were “stuck”, “successful”, “vicious”, “obligatory”, “positive”, “military”.

Dzvin-healer

Love with the ringing - Olena Zadubovskaya in the book "Location with the ringing" means: "Russian descendants back in the 70s of the last century established that such ailments as unreasonable restlessness, fears, nervousness and sleeplessness, miraculous Kiss ringing.

The crowned (or unappreciated by the state) monuments were simply miraculous. It turns out that the audio recording of the crimson ringing calmly affects the nervous. And listening to musical works, recorded on bells, will lead to severe types of depression and other mental illnesses. Beautifully victorious sleeplessness and raspberry church jingle." I highly recommend the vikory jingle to healers and all people who talk about their spiritual well-being!

It has been noted that if the church regularly vikors, the number of parishioners will increase by 2-3 times! The cleansing and cleansing effect of such a service is constantly increasing!

It is impossible to recognize Rus' without churches, singing to the church choir, church painting, ringing. This is a once-in-a-lifetime rage, the mystery of the way of life created by the Orthodox, as it has impacted on all sides the way of life of our people.

The church bell is not for concerts! So it was a long time ago: the ringing is spiritually attested to the present world, a symbol in bronze, and its ringing is a symbol in sound. It is not for nothing that the call is called the “voice of the Church,” and this voice calls out to spiritual Resurrection and Repentance. And it is not good for church bells to broadcast from the bells without any sense (the bell ringers do not have the right to rehearse on the bells, to ring after hours, or to rouse the public).

The call is made only after church canons: at the singing hour, in the singing order. There is only one week in your life when (not simultaneously with church services) you are allowed to ring as much as you like for the joy of this world. This is Easter Light Week. It is worth remembering that the church bell is a sacred thing that needs to be protected and protected from time to time. Dzvin is an embellishment to a temple (cathedral, church), and may it ever be miraculous!

2.1.1. The church ringing is an invisible part of Orthodox worship, and its absence can be justified by the lack of technical means for ringing.

2.1.2. The Orthodox jingle of meanings is to:

- call the faithful to worship;

- determine the purity of the Church and its services;

- inform those present and those not present at the church about the most important moments of the service;

- with the sound of it, created by God's grace, Christians were honored with piety and faith; the forces, the approach and the hardening of the demons shook and collapsed; the wordless creation of God, those elements were quieted and served for the benefit of people.

2.1.3. Our traditional church unit has been shaped and developed over hundreds of years through the rise of white and rhythmic rivets from them. Therefore, the basis of our Orthodox ringing lies not in melody, but in rhythm with powerful dynamics and in the mutual timbres of adjacent ringings and beats.

2.1.6. Which unit is equipped with chimes, following the unique mixing of church bells with them (especially since in the chimes the bells began to ring, which also took part in the bells for divine services).

2.2. Call the bell

2.2.1. To maintain the ringing in the Russian Orthodox Church, the following methods may be used (subject to the increase in their purity):

Bіlo hand (small) wood;

Call.

2.2.4. White wood handcrafted It has a paddle-shaped board 1-3 m long, 10-20 cm wide and 10-30 mm thick (the thickness can be changed to half). At the ends of the hand beat, as a rule, there are 3, 4 or 5 openings drilled, which symbolize the Holy Trinity, the Cross of the Lord or the Passion of the Lord.

The trees were carried to musical percussion instruments with a self-sounding body. The material could only be beaten with a hammer - the wood would be sound, dry, with at least a minimum of knots and cracks.

It turns out that it is touching the left hand. The sound is drawn loudly (riveting) on a new wooden hammer and lies in the material of the hammer, as well as the force of the blow (from the center to the edges). There may be only one tame person in the monastery, but usually only one person during the service. The use of hand-made wooden bells, which are used in the Orthodox bell, is shown in Fig. 1.

Small 1. Apply small (hand) wooden balls

2.2.5. The trees are great, because they are great, a board 2-4 m long, 25-50 cm wide and 30-60 mm thick. At the ends of the great beat, 3, 4 or 5 openings are often drilled.

It is hung permanently at the entrance to the temple, in the refectory, in the cell, in the church or in any other place. The sound is made by hitting new wood with a hammer and place it between the sides and the material, as well as the force of the blow (from the center to the edges).

The hammer was able to beat up to great material in the same way as a hand beater.

There may be a splinter of large wooden whites in the monastery, but during divine services, as a rule, one is displayed alone.

The butt of the great wooden bells that are used in the Orthodox bell is shown in Fig. 2. 2.2.6. Metaleve bilo (riveted) Can be of different sizes, shapes, materials and

preparation method.

Small 2. Apply great (great) wooden whites

Metal was carried to musical percussion instruments with a self-sounding body. The sound is generated by a metal, wooden or plastic hammer and depends on the shape of the hammer, the material of the hammer and the force of the blow.

Due to the presence of a large number of metallic whites, stench can vary greatly in ringing (either independently or simultaneously with ringing) and can be consistently installed in different places according to the understanding of its purpose (by entering or in the middle of the temple, in the refectory, on the dzvinitsa then) .).

The butts of metal whites (riveted), which are used in the Orthodox bell, are shown in Fig. 3.

Small 4. Visual view of the ringing and its main parts

In order to best preserve our historical downfall, it is necessary to achieve (either by relying on the sources or by doing it on our own) the certification of all calls, even in churches and monasteries, for purposes that are not without value, mother Finally, the main dimensions and appearance, as well as the registration of sound characteristics.

2.2.8. At the time of one-hour vibration of a number of bells and metal bells (skin rings or all at once), the sonorous ring, according to tradition, consists of three groups: great (blashesniki) -1-5 pcs. - 2-4 pcs.

Each of these groups of ringings also contains its own part of the sound, which is also taken care of by the ringers when putting together the composition of the ringing.

2.2.11. Installation and installation of bells and metal bells must be carried out

the choice of the main direct call, the security of minds for the free entry of sound into more space, the reliability and safety of the caller's work, as well as the implementation of all steps (technical and organizational) to achieve proper synchronization news of the ringing of divine services.

2.2.12. Before the ceremony at the church bell, bells are obligatory consecrated until the Rite of the Blessed Campaign, the bell rings or the bells are placed in the Trebnik.

2.3. About the ringer

2.3.3. Before every divine service, the bell ringing request should be taken from the rector or priest to bless the bell ringer, and also, perhaps, other orders related to its conduct.

2.3.4. Before starting the ringing, the bell-ringer must adjust himself spiritually and psychologically, checking the suspension and the ringing system and thinking through the composition of the ringing until the end. Following the tradition, after the banner of christmas, the church service may begin and be accompanied by the reading of psalms 118th and 50th (extended to the Typikon) or from the blessing of the abbot, whatever it is, which indicates the liturgical prayer.

2.3.5. In the case of religious bells, the bell ringer is obliged to comply with statutory documents, natural canons, religious traditions, symbols of internal space) bells in each specific liturgical service and, primarily, the inscriptions of the rector and priest.

2.3.7. During group ringing, in order to achieve its goodness and beauty, all ringers, even before the start of ringing, need to become familiar with the features of the ringing system, select a “wired” ringer and learn about size, composition, dynamics and Other mentalities in the call.

The bell also demonstrates the synchronization of the bells during the hour of worship, for which it is possible to use a positive bell (yasak, candiya) or technical means: light bulbs, electric dial, radio broadcast ii, racii then.

Since there are a number of bell ringers in the church, among them there is a senior one, who ensures the order of the bell ringing and the correctness of the church bell ringing.

This information must be preserved in the archives of the temple or monastery and serve as the basis for transmitting the tradition of Orthodox bells to future generations of bell-ringers.

2.4. Canonical calls

2.4.1. The church service includes the equivalent temple clergy - with them, as a rule, the divine service begins and ends. Swimming on our hearing and inner frame, which awakens us from spiritual sleep, cleanses our souls, reminding us about our Lord and His Judgment, the richness of life on earth and eternal life in Heaven.

2.4.2. The rank of Orthodox bell ringing, which has been preserved in Russia since ancient times

Even in some monasteries, it is composed of a step-by-step history of all types of beatings and bells, corresponding to their symbol and purity.

Then he goes up to the great (great) wooden white and also rhythmically strikes into it, once again psalm 50 or other common liturgical prayers.

After this, the riveting of the metal beater (chi beat) begins from the reading of Psalm 50 and another prayer once.

And, you will find, at Christmas time the week-long ringing of the bell ends with the ringing of the bell.

This Rite of Orthodox ringing is in line with the ancient traditions of Orthodoxy and the rise of new times. The establishment of greater order can be changed depending on the evidence of these and other features of the call, as well as the local traditions and traditions of each monastery. And here we cannot make a clear difference between the bells and bells. Axis, for example, as the Fathers of the Church explained the sense and the sound of the bells and ringings of the Orthodox bell: “The small voice that occurs at small vespers, as low-voiced and deaf, signifies ancient prophets and only as a cover and transformation of the future Come on; The great voice that vibrates on the holy mornings, like a ringing sound and spreading throughout the air, signifies the prayer of the Gospel throughout the whole earth. And the loud voice beat in metal

And the ringing announces to us the coming Judgment and marks that angelic trumpet that may ring all the trumpets until the final Judgment.”

In this case, there are 4 types of canonical ringing, which together or in combination form all the diversity of the Orthodox ringing: blagovist, bustling, call-back and trezvon.

2.4.4. Blagovist is one of the oldest calls of the Orthodox Church and is called so to those who bring good, joyful news about the beginning of the divine service. This link can also be disconnected

і at the hour of the service.

The Evangelist works with peaceful blows on one of the largest bells or beatings, which on the great vigils, according to tradition, can be up to five and such, according to the type of divine service and on which days the chime is celebrated, May Give your own names, for example: holy day (urochisty), polyeleyny, weekday, simple day (weekday) and small (pisny). In practice, with the blessing of the abbot, the benefactors may also be given other special names, arising from the place of installation or preparation, the name of the donor, the peculiarity of the sound, etc.

Like a close call before the beginning of the cob, the divine service of the gospel begins with three rare (with some troubling pauses) blows, and then there are swollen peaceful blows.

Cream emergency blagovist The Orthodox ringing still has such titles gross, or great, blagovist, When the greatest chime strikes, the chime beats alternate with another great chime.

2.4.5. It rings a funeral bell, which expresses confusion and sorrow for the deceased and symbolizes the life of a person from his generation until death.

The process consists of a large number of single blows to the skin of the ring or beating from the smallest to the largest, and after that follows a chord with all or the maximum possible number of ringing or beating (so-called blow “usya”), which symbolizes is the level of life. This sorting takes place very slowly during the course of the service, but it can be carried through to the end and end with a blow “for everything.”

When playing one by one, the blows on the bell or bell are repeated until the sound from the first blow stops completely. Here, there is no need for haste and the bell ringer must strive for a special penetration of the way of evenly increasing pauses during striking strikes (the different individual sounds of bells and bells) and a strong friendly strike “for everyone.”

2.4.6. It moves with a very clear ring through the skin of the ring and beats (one at a time or several times), starting from the largest to the smallest, and symbolizes the “emergence” of our Lord Jesus Christ for the sake of our salvation.

The ringing once in every ring with the blow “for everything” is the most summable and lasts only two days per river: on Good Friday and Holy Saturday on the day of the Holy Death of the Lord and His great obeisance. It’s a mournful call to reach the Lord, our Savior, without being the same in the manner of Vikonanny. death knell (brute force) for simple, mortal and sinful people, the chime will sound more swift and even blows.

The ringing of the peal signifies Christian joy and triumph. From someone to take the fate of calling all three groups of ringing and beating, the skin of which makes its own party. According to the tradition that has become established, in the trezvon vikoryst the measure of the beat is three quarters (3/4) or even quarters (4/4) and the same great blagovisnik can take the part of the same great blasphemer (the jingle or bell), who took part in the blasphemy before cob Whose divine service (less is possible, but not more).

Undoubtedly, the treble is due to the nature of the divine service, the saints and the places in which the bell goes, which leads to the dullness of its chanting (i.e., the uniqueness of various supernaturalisms). The triviality of the trezvon is indicated by the reading of the 50th psalm once at the chanting hour, according to the character of the saint, the specific minds and remarks of the abbot.
