Octoicha I was inspired by the inscriptions of the ancient spiritual chanting. „On the basis of this melody was developed the symphonic movement with three sections, united by the uninterrupted flow of music: Improvisation, Ricercar, Coda.“ (L. Marić).
„Octoicha I for orchestra, employing the modes of Orthodox Church music, is an outstanding composition.“ (Everett Helm, The Musical Quarterly)
