Kir Joakim () was a Serbian Orthodox monk, choirmaster (domestikos), and the oldest Serbian composer of liturgical melodies. He signed himself "kir Joakim, monk and domestikos of Serbia" (úøàÃÂþðúøü, üþýðàø ôþüõÃÂÃÂøú áÃÂñøÃÂõ). Older sources state he lived in the 15th century, while newer sources state that he lived in the 14th century (1360âÂÂ85). Serbian-American musicologist Miloà ¡ Velimirovià(1922âÂÂ2008) made a study on him, Joakim monah i domestik Srbije (1964). The manuscript mentioning him with his titles was dated by Velimiroviàto before 1453. He lived at the Charsianitos Monastery in Constantinople. The Athens National Library has two Koinonika, a Theotokion, and three Vespers, in Greek, by Kir Joakim (as of 1969). Along with Isaiah the Serb, Kir Stefan the Serb and Nikola the Serb, he is part of medieval Serbian musical heritage, which is also part of Byzantine heritage. One of his works, Kratima Terirem (ÃÂÃÂìÃÂ÷üñ 'äõÃÂùÃÂÃÂü), was included in Dragoslav AksentijeviÃÂ-Pavle's album Music of Old Serbia (1987).
