Papa Ephraim continues his story, telling us how his composition process changed when he began composing hymns for Vespers and how he began codifying the melodies Byzantine chant into a systematic book of formulae in order to aid his work. He also shares how he was able to convert his font for Byzantine notation into Braille.
