Information: - A part song, or part-song or partsong, is a form of choral music that consists of a secular song having been written or arranged for several vocal parts, commonly SATB choir but sometimes for an all-male or all-female ensemble. It is usually primarily homophonic, with the highest part carrying the melody and the other voices supplying the accompanying harmonies, rather than contrapuntal like a madrigal. Part songs are intended to be sung unaccompanied unless an instrumental accompaniment is specified. - A glee is an English type of part song spanning the late baroque , classical and early romantic periods . It is usually scored for at least three voices , and generally intended to be sung unaccompanied . Glees often consist of a number of short , musically contrasted movements and their texts can be convivial , fraternal , idyllic , tender , philosophical or even ( occasionally ) dramatic . Their respectable and artistic character contrasts with the bawdiness of many catches of the late 15th century , which made glees appropriate in female company . Although most glees were originally written to be sung in gentlemen 's singing clubs , they often included soprano parts -- which were sung by boys ( church choristers ) in earlier years , and later by ladies who were often present as guests . Glees as described above fall into a different musical category from traditional college songs or fight songs . - In music, SATB is an initialism for soprano, alto, tenor, bass, defining the voice types required by a chorus or choir to perform a particular musical work. Pieces written for SATB (the most common combination, and used by most hymn tunes) can be sung by choruses of mixed genders, by choirs of men and boys, or by four soloists. There is a lack of general agreement on other initialisms/abbreviations. "Tr" for Treble, "Mz" (or similar) for Mezzo-soprano, "Ba", "Bar" or "Bari" for Baritone are self-explanatory, while "C" could be taken for "canto", the highest part, or for Contralto, usually implying a female alto(s) as opposed to a Countertenor ("Ct"). "SCTB" is commonly found in Romantic Italian opera choruses where the Alto singers portray a group of female protagonists on stage.

Information: - Byzantium ("Byzantion") was an ancient Greek colony on the site that later became Constantinople, and later still Istanbul. Byzantium was colonised by the Greeks from Megara in . - Agathias or Agathias Scholasticus (582/594), of Myrina (Mysia), an Aeolian city in western Asia Minor (now in Turkey), was a Greek poet and the principal historian of part of the reign of the Roman emperor Justinian I between 552 and 558. - Constantinople was the capital city of the Roman/Byzantine Empire (3301204 and 12611453), and also of the brief Latin (12041261), and the later Ottoman (14531923) empires. It was reinaugurated in 324 AD from ancient Byzantium as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330 AD. - Justinian I (482 14 November 565), traditionally known as Justinian the Great and also Saint Justinian the Great in the Eastern Orthodox Church, was a Byzantine (East Roman) emperor from 527 to 565. During his reign, Justinian sought to revive the empire's greatness and reconquer the lost western half of the historical Roman Empire. Justinian's rule constitutes a distinct epoch in the history of the Later Roman empire, and his reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized "renovatio imperii", or "restoration of the Empire". - Paul the Silentiary , also known as Paulus Silentiarius ( Greek : , d. Constantinople , 575 - 580 AD ) , was a Greek poet . His contemporary , the historian and poet Agathias , describes him as a rich man and a ' Silentiary ' or palace official of Justinian I at Constantinople . ( This title has been taken to indicate that he was responsible for silence in the palace . ) Paul is best known and most admired for his short poems in the classical tradition , about 80 of which have been preserved in the Greek Anthology . Forty of these are love poems . Two are replies to poems by Agathias ; in another Paul laments the death of Damocharis of Cos , Agathias 's favorite pupil . These short poems also contain interesting social information . He also composed in verse an ecphrasis or evocative account of Justinian 's cathedral of the Holy Wisdom ( Hagia Sophia ) , describing its architecture and decoration after the reconstruction of the dome in 562 . Paul sees the church as a ' meadow ' of many - coloured marbles , and helps us to imagine the church before its many subsequent remodellings . The poem was probably commissioned by Justinian himself , and Paul had to read verses to the emperor through the inauguration . It consists of 1029 verses in Greek , starting with 134 lines of iambic trimeter , with the remainder in the classical meter of epic , dactylic hexameter . He also wrote a poem about the hot springs at Pythia . Paul died some time between 575 and 580 . - The Roman Empire (Koine and Medieval Greek: , tr. ) was the post-Roman Republic period of the ancient Roman civilization, characterized by government headed by emperors and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa and Asia. The city of Rome was the largest city in the world BC AD, with Constantinople (New Rome) becoming the largest around 500 AD, and the Empire's populace grew to an estimated 50 to 90million inhabitants (roughly 20% of the world's population at the time). The 500-year-old republic which preceded it was severely destabilized in a series of civil wars and political conflict, during which Julius Caesar was appointed as perpetual dictator and then assassinated in 44 BC. Civil wars and executions continued, culminating in the victory of Octavian, Caesar's adopted son, over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the annexation of Egypt. Octavian's power was then unassailable and in 27 BC the Roman Senate formally granted him overarching power and the new title "Augustus", effectively marking the end of the Roman Republic.
