  • 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.

  • Sunday, July 8, 2018
    Welcome to the season after Pentecost at Trinity Church We are so glad you are here to pray with us today. This booklet will be your guide for Sunday worship here through the summer. We are now in the longest liturgical season of the year: the time of the formation of the church. Having walked and prayed and sung—through the Advent of Jesus, the Epiphany manifestations of God in Christ, the penitential pilgrimage of preparation in Lent, the intensity of the Passion in Holy Week, and the joyous season of the mystery of the resurrection in Eastertide—we come now to the time where we, the Lord’s people, are learning to be the body of Christ. At Trinity, we mark the liturgical seasons with predictable variations. For the summer, the congregation and summer choirs will speak the psalms and sing the Sanctus, Lord’s Prayer, and Agnus Dei (which can be found on the back cover) together. And always, please sing the hymns with courage! You’ll find the psalms on the scripture insert, handed out each Sunday. The hymns are found in the blue Hymnal. Please stand and sing for all hymns. The prayer for the Eucharist is found in the Book of Common Prayer. The order of service and music selections for each Sunday may be found on the page for the day. This booklet is designed to be reused each week. Please leave it in the pew as you depart.

  • Choral Evensong February 12, 2017 at 4:00 P.M
    Choral Evensong February 12, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church I 6050 North Meridian Street I Indianapolis, IN 46208 I 317.253.1277 I stpaulsindy.org Welcome to St. Paul’s. We invite you to join us as an active participant in the worship of God. Evensong is one of the oldest services in the Anglican Church. It dates back to the original Prayer Book of 1549 written by Thomas Cranmer. To create Evensong, Cranmer combined the monastic offices of Vespers (sung at sunset) and Compline (sung just before bedtime) into one rite to be sung in the evening. The structure of Evensong is closely related to Morning Prayer (Matins). Lessons from the Old and New Testaments combine with psalms and canticles to provide a biblical base for our worship. The Apostles' Creed, the Collects, and other prayers complete this liturgical expression of praise. Evensong reflects the great Christian tradition that singing is the normative form for liturgical expression. Evensong is a beautiful and sacred method of giving praise to the Lord. The tradition of daily liturgical prayer puts us in touch with our Judaic and Christian roots. As we raise our voices to the Lord, think about participating in a tradition that goes back thousands of years—a tradition that is alive and well today. Prelude Suite du deuxième ton Jean-Adam Guilan Procession The people stand, as they are able, as acolytes, choir, and officiant enter the church. Invitatory Anthem John Joubert O Lorde, the maker of al thing, Let neither us deluded be, We pray Thee nowe in this evening Good Lorde, with dreame of phantasy, Us to defend, through Thy mercy, Oure hearte wakyng in Thee Thou kepe, From all deceite of our enemy.
