Biography
He studied chanting with the founder of the Usol school of znamenny singing, Stefan Golysh . In 1579 he became a priest [1] . He lived at this time in Solvychegodsk at the Cathedral of the Annunciation (later it was in the cathedral church of this monastery that he would present a book of chants for a memorial commemoration of his parents and himself). In 1598 , perhaps (this follows from indirect evidence [1] ), was the abbot of the Kostroma Epiphany Monastery .
From 1602 to 1621 he was an archimandrite of the Vladimir-Rozhdestvensky monastery . This monastery was the second in rank after the Trinity-Sergius Lavra . In November 1605 he became the confessor of False Dmitry I [2] , after his death he was not subjected to disgrace.
In electing Mikhail Romanov as king in 1613, Archimandrite Isaiah Lukoshko signed the first of the monastic hierarchs in the affirmative. In 1614, Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich entrusts him with the burial of the queen-old Alexandra [2] (the first spouse of the eldest son of Ivan IV the Terrible ). Archimandrite Isaiah Lukoshko took part in the election of Filaret in the patriarchate in 1619 .
Works
Reached our time:
- Collection "Sunday Ipakoi on 8 voices."
- The singing book “Utilities” (pro-imeni from it, “Let me fix it,” is preserved in 120 lists).
- Troparion "May all flesh be silent."
- Verses "Volsvie Persii", "Gabriel Announces", "Heavenly King", "Come to Belief", "About Goodness".
The writings of Isaiah Lukoshko were perceived by contemporaries as the pinnacle of the “Usolsk” school of singing. It is believed that he simplified and made the chant more concise. Musicologists distinguish a number of features of the master's chapel style [3] :
- Dividing the chants into lines with the help of finite kadans, including typed ones.
- The use of modal foundations, median and final, as the formative elements.
- Change the type of melodic movement in the tipping points of the form (ascending, descending, fluctuating).
- Changing the pitch of the sound to indicate climaxes and starting lines of parts, conveying the meaning of keywords
- Skillful compositional alternation of more or less chanting lines.
