Are there other musical pieces about Ioannis Petros Voevodas that is Petru Rares voivode of Moldavia?

Answer 1

Ioannis Petros Voevodas was one of the greatest rullers of Moldavia, known also as Petru Raresch or Holy Pahomios of Holy Monastery Karakalou from Mount Athos. The son of Steven the Great, or Holy Voevodas Steven of Moldavia, Petru Raresh had a strange and full of holiness life. He is the ctitoros of the world-wide known exterior painted monasteries of Bukovina, and the helper of almost all the Monasteries of the Holy Mountain. He loved so much the monastic life that, like Saint Sava of Serbia, came to Caracalu Monastery to become a monk. Here, alongside one of his noblemen, Peter Spataros, became monks and gained holiness, being known as Holy Pahomios and Pahomios from Holy Monastery Caracalu. This polihronion, a masterpiece of athonite music, must be studied in detail, scientifically, because it is the oldest musical piece linked with Moldavia and the romanian world, a piece which shows the holiness of the fathers at Mount Athos which wrote this piece for their moldavian benefactor. Similar pieces exist probably for the byzantine emperors, and other feudal lords, and must be known, because of their holy value and beauty.
