Until a few years ago, Andon Shahpaski’s name (born in the village of Smojmirovo, Maleshevo region in Macedonia, approx. 1860-1928) was completely unknown to Macedonian music history. As a result of Kodjabashia’s discovery of a musical manuscript and a few liturgical books from Shahpaski’s library, Macedonian musical heritage was enriched with a new set of artefacts and scientific evidence.

Shortly after this discovery, the Centre for Byzantology studies released part one of this magnificent manuscript, titled “Short book of Ressurection hymns”.
