(antiphonic) polychronies (of many years) composed for celebrations. the emperor’s exits at the hippodrome (in the circus), at feasts and receptions; ritual-holiday acclamations, which were part of the priv. liturgical service - the so-called euphemia with an ornamentally decorated melody and instr. interludes; music instr. ensembles (trumpeters, cymbalists) and a kind of concert on hydralos, later - pneumatic. organ.
