A '''sticheron''' (plural: stichera) is a type of hymn used in the [[services]] of the [[daily cycle]], while a ''sticherarion'' is a book containing the stichera for the morning and evening services throughout the year. Stichera are also found in the ''[[Menaion]]'' and ''[[Octoechos]]''. This word should not be confused with a [[sticharion]] (a kind of [[vestments|vestment]]).
Traditionally, stichera are most often sung in the sticheraric form of the modal music which is canonical in the Orthodox Church. With the advent of harmonized, polyphonic, non-modal music in some Orthodox churches, the traditional forms have been lost. In [[Byzantine chant]], sticheraric modes are of "medium" speed (slower than [[irmologic]] but faster than [[papadic]]), with each syllable often having two or three notes in its singing. The sticheraric mode is most often used for singing stichera, but it is not exclusive to it.
In some traditions, the sticheraric mode has been reserved mainly for the services of [[Sunday]]s or [[feast day]]s., and the irmologic mode has been substituted for singing stichera at the daily services.
==Usage==
Stichera are commonly written in cycles on particular themes or for use in particular liturgical contexts. Examples of such themes include:
*The Beatitudes
*Particular [[saint]]s ("stichera aposticha")
*The [[Resurrection]]
Examples of liturgical contexts where stichera are commonly used include:
*[[Vespers]] (the evening office)
*The [[Litia]]
*The Praises (at the end of [[Orthros]], the morning office)
Stichera are usually sung in alternation with verses from the [[Psalter|Psalms]] or other [[Holy Scripture|scriptural]] sources. In liturgical books, they are designated as having a particular [[tone]].
Settings of stichera are frequently found in recordings of Orthodox liturgical music, some by well known composers.
[WIKIPEDIA:Aposticha
The Aposticha (Greek: Άπόστιχα'; Slavonic: stikhíry na stikhóvne) are a set of hymns (stichera) accompanied by psalm verses (stichos)[1] which are chanted towards the end of Vespers and Matins in the Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite.
The Greek term literally means "[hymns] on the verses." The aposticha belong to a family of hymns, known as stichera, which are normally tied to psalm verses in the Daily Office. Unlike other stichera, which normally follow their psalm verses, the aposticha are unique in that they preceed their psalm verses.
Aposticha are found at Vespers every day, but at Matins they occur only on ordinary weekdays, being omitted on higher-ranking feast days.
At Vespers on Sundays (i.e., Saturday evening) there is one more sticheron than on weekdays. The aposticha at Sunday Vespers form an acrostic in the original Greek (the first sticheron is not part of the acrostic).

'''Stihira''' este un set de imnuri şi versuri de la sfârşitul [[Vecernie]]i şi [[Utrenie]]i. În greceşte înseamnă "imnuri în versuri (''stichos'')." Apostiha este unică prin aceea că începe cu un [[imn]], în loc de un vers aşa cum începe o stihira în prezent. Duminica se cântă o stihira mai mult decât în zilele săptămânii. Apostiha Vecerniei duminicale are forma unui acrostih alfabetic în greaca veche. Prima stihira nu este parte a acrostihului.
