GREAT VESPERS: At Lord, I have cried chant 6 from the Octoechos and 4 for the commemoration from the Menaion (doubling the first if necessary), Glory from the Menaion and Both now from the Octoechos in the tone of the week. At the aposticha chant Glory from the Menaion and Both now from the Octoechos in the same tone. At the apolytikia chant once the apolytikion of the resurrection from the Octoechos in the tone of the week, Glory and the apolytikion of the commemoration from the Menaion and Both now and the Theotokion from the Octoechos in the same tone. ORTHROS: At God is the Lord chant twice the apolytikion of the resurrection from the Octoechos in the tone of the week, Glory and the apolytikion of the commemoration from the Menaion and Both now and the Theotokion from the Octoechos in the same tone. At the exaposteilaria chant the exaposteilarion of the appointed eothinon, the exaposteilarion of the commemoration from the Menaion and the accompanying Theotokion of the commemoration from the Menaion. DIVINE LITURGY: at the little entrance chant the apolytikion of the resurrection, the apolytikion of the commemoration, the apolytikion of the patron saint or titular feast of the church temple and the seasonal kontakion. The commemoration is mentioned in all dismissals. 2 Except for the following commemorations for which the Typikon prescribes 4 for the resurrection and 6 for the commemoration: the Repose of St. John the Theologian (September 26), the Great-martyr Demetrios (October 26), the Archangels (November 8), St. Nicholas of Myra (December 6), the Three Hierarchs (January 30; but if it coincides with Meat Fare Sunday it is 4 for the resurrection, 3 from the Triodion and 3 for the commemoration; if it coincides with any other Triodion Sunday it is 4 for the resurrection, 2 from the Triodion and 4 for the commemoration), the Nativity of the Forerunner (June 24), the Foremost Apostles Peter and Paul (June 29), and the Holy Fathers of the Fourth and Seventh Oecumenical Councils.

  • THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms

    THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms

    THO 3347 (H 2015) – Glossary of Terms Akathist Literally, “not standing.” A hymn dedicated to our Lord, the Theotokos, a saint, or a holy event. Aposticha The stichera sung with psalm verses at the end of Vespers and Matins. These differ from the stichera at Psalm 140 (Vespers) and at the Praise Psalms (Matins), which are sung with fixed psalms, in that the psalm verses used (pripivs) vary with the day or feast, and do not end the singing of the whole psalm. See also stichery na stichovnych. Archieratikon Тhе book containing texts and rubrics for the solemn Hierarchical (a.k.a. Pontifical) Divine Liturgy. The Archieratikon also contains the sacrament of Ноlу Orders and special blessings and consecrations. Canon A system of nine odes (the Second Ode is sung only during Great Lent) sung at Matins after Psalm 50 and before the Praises. Each ode is connected traditionally with a scriptural canticle (see below for the nine scriptural canticles) and consists of an Irmos, a variable number of troparia and, on feasts, a katavasia. After the Third Ode a sidalen is usually sung, and after the Sixth Ode a kontakion and ikos, and after the Ninth Ode, the Svitelen is sung. The Canon has its own system of eight tones. Domatikon A theotokion sung after “Now…” (or “Glory… Now…”) at the end of Psalms 140, 141, 129, and 116 at Vespers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and on the eve of a Polyeleos saint or saints with a vigil in the same tone as the last sticheron of the saint (at “Glory…”).
  • Little Compline for Akathist Saturday

    Little Compline for Akathist Saturday

    The Office of Little Compline with the Akathist Canon and Hymn **As served on the fifth Friday of Great Lent** **Instructions** An icon of the Theotokos (preferably the one described in the Synaxarion below) is placed on a stand in the middle of the solea. The candles are lit and the church is semi-illumined. The censer is used only for the stases of the Akathist Hymn. The curtain and Holy Doors are closed until the priest begins the first stasis of the Akathist Hymn. The priest wears a blue epitrachelion over his exorasson and starts Little Compline in front of the icon. Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Choir: Amen. Priest: Glory to Thee, O God, glory to Thee. O heavenly King, the Comforter, Spirit of Truth, Who art in all places, and fillest all things, Treasury of good things, and Giver of life, come, and dwell in us, and cleanse us from every stain; and save our souls, O good One. People: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. All-holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, cleanse us from our sins. Master, pardon our iniquities. Holy God, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy Name’s sake. Lord, have mercy. (THRICE) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

  • A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography

    A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography

    Journal of the International Society for Orthodox Church Music Vol. 4 (1), Section III: Miscellanea, pp. 198–207 ISSN 2342-1258 https://journal.fi/jisocm A Concise Glossary of the Genres of Eastern Orthodox Hymnography Elena Kolyada [email protected] The Glossary contains concise entries on most genres of Eastern Orthodox hymnography that are mentioned in the article by E. Kolyada “The Genre System of Early Russian Hymnography: the Main Stages and Principles of Its Formation”.1 On the one hand the Glossary is an integral part of the article, therefore revealing and corroborating its principal conceptual propositions. However, on the other hand it can be used as an independent reference resource for hymnographical terminology, useful for the majority of Orthodox Churches worldwide that follow the Eastern Rite: Byzantine, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian et al., as well as those Western Orthodox dioceses and parishes, where worship is conducted in English. The Glossary includes the main corpus of chants that represents the five great branches of the genealogical tree of the genre system of early Christian hymnography, together with their many offshoots. These branches are 1) psalms and derivative genres; 2) sticheron-troparion genres; 3) akathistos; 4) canon; 5) prayer genres (see the relevant tables, p. 298-299).2 Each entry includes information about the etymology of the term, a short definition, typological features and a basic statement about the place of a particular chant in the daily and yearly cycles of services in the Byzantine rite.3 All this may help anyone who is involved in the worship or is simply interested in Orthodox liturgiology to understand more fully specific chanting material, as well as the general hymnographic repertoire of each service.

    PRAISE (TASBEHA), THE VESPERS, AND THE MATINS SHARING IN ANGELIC WORSHIP 1995 FR. TADROS YACOUB MALATY St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Church 427 West Side Ave. Jersey City - N.J. 07304 Translated by DR. MAGED S. F. MIKHAIL St. Peter and St. Paul Coptic Orthodox Church 1245 4th Street Santa Monica, California 90401 Reverens Father Tadros Y. Malaty has kindly permitted that his books be published in the COeRL. He has requested that we convey that any suggestions or amendments regarding their translation are welcome, and should be forwarded to: [email protected] THE BEGINNING OF THE HEAVENLY PATH The Eucharist is a journey for the whole Church - clergy and lay people alike - towards heaven; it is a unique, enjoyable, joyful, holy and yet fearful journey. In this journey, the Holy Spirit carries us to the throne of Grace, where we find the open arms of the Father for us, His children. We meet the Victim Lamb, in Whom we abide and Who abides in us, giving to us His Body and Blood so that we may share His holy characteristics. The journey begins with what is called "Praise" (Tasbeha), "the Vespers and Matins.” We begin on the heavenly path by entering into an angelic atmosphere that lifts up our hearts, thoughts and senses and elevates us towards the Heavenly King Himself. I do not wish to go into intellectual studies concerning the Praise, the Vespers and the Matins, but wish that the Holy Spirit may elevate us to the heavenly path itself, so that we may attain the practical knowledge and taste it! 2 PRAISE (TASBEHA) PRAISE AND THE EUCHARIST When we examine praise, the Vespers, and the Matins - which consist of prayers, thanksgiving, supplications, readings, honoring of the saints, and intercessions on behalf of every human soul with the spirit of repentance - we find this to be the church's entry to the Eucharist.

    Service Instructions for Theophany (Epiphany) 2019 From His Eminence, Metropolitan JOSEPH The Royal Hours & Typika are served on the morning of Friday, January 04, which is the day BEFORE the Paramon (Eve). Therefore, we sing the Apolytikion of the Forefeast: Be thou ready, Zebulon… (HTM Horologion 369, Nassar 433). The Royal Hours may each be offered in either of the following orders: Consecutively, starting at 9:00 AM in the following manner: start the First Royal Hour with “Blessed is our God,” and OMIT the Dismissal at the end of each Hour (except the last), and OMIT the section between “Blessed is our God” to right before “Come let us worship” in the Third, Sixth and Ninth Hours. SIMPLY PUT, OMIT THE BOXED PORTIONS OF THE TEXT. At their usual times (6:00 AM, 9:00 AM, Noon and 3:00 PM), with the Ninth Royal Hour and Typika being served at 3:00 PM, followed immediately by Daily Vespers of Paramon (Eve) of Theophany. Alternatively, Vespers may be celebrated in the early evening hours. The Priest performs the Great Censing of the entire church at the start of the First and Ninth Royal Hours, and the Small Censing from the Beautiful Gate (Holy Doors) – like he would before the Great Entrance in Divine Liturgy – at the start of the Third and Sixth Royal Hours. NOTE: We do NOT celebrate Divine Liturgy on Friday, January 04. Our Patriarchate of Antioch reminds us that we follow this same pattern at Pascha, when Royal Hours are served on Holy Friday, and Divine Liturgies are celebrated only on the weekend.
