Our Orthodox hymnology is a rich treasure which has yet to be fully discovered by the Faithful. Our hymnology, which teaches our minds and uplifts our hearts, should be studied by all of us who profess the Orthodox faith. + Father John C. Poulos About New Byzantine Chant Byzantine chant is the name given to the traditional music of the Greek Orthodox Church. It is a highly systemized form of vocal music that has been handed down through the centuries. In the earliest days of the Church, as evidenced through scripture passages and the writings of the Church fathers, the responses to the celebrant of the liturgy and other services were chanted by the congregation. As the number of hymns increased and as the length and number of services increased as well, a resulting cacaphony developed, leading to the decision of the Council of Laodicia in the 4th Century to limit all music in the Church to ordained chanters, who would sing from a book at the ambo, a platform in the middle of the congregation. After this decree, over the centuries, the specialized music of the Church increased in the number of hymns and in the difficulty of execution. A system of eight musical modes, also referred to as tones, was established. The development of music took different directions in the West and the East. The Gregorian chants of the West, based upon the Latin language, eventually became harmonized with several different voice parts. This required the formation of trained choirs who read from a newly invented system of musical writing based upon notes placed on a staff of lines. Later, the Western Church introduced organ accompaniment. In the East, the music, based upon Greek, remained monophonic and developed its own notation consisting of a single line of symbols, which indicated the directions for the voice. Melodic lines were elaborated upon, employing a variety of modal formulas and rhythmic patterns. In both the East and the West, Church singing developed into a highly trained profession, which no longer lent itself to congregational participation. Martin Luther revived congregational hymn singing in the 16th Century, which set a pattern for the churches of the Protestant Reformation. In the late 19th Century, the Roman Catholic Church decided to follow this lead by reviving the simple Gregorian music for congregational participation. In the Orthodox East, there was also movement in this direction, especially in Russia, where the music had been Westernized a century before. In Athens, Greece, a protochanter named John Sakellarides simplified much of the Byzantine repertoire, removing many of the difficult ornaments and encouraging the chanters under him to sing in a more Western style. He also took time to transcribe his music into Western staff notation, and even added some simple harmonic lines, similar to the style of the Russians. Sakellarides music became the standard in the American Greek Orthodox Church, where, with the addition of new fourpart choral arrangements for lay choirs accompanied by electronic organs, the Westernization of the music was completed. While Byzantine chant sung by chanters has never entirely left the Church in America, it has been pretty much replaced in the Divine Liturgy with the polyphonic music of the lay choirs. Recently, there have been attempts to return to more traditional Byzantine music, which has been hindered by the fact that very little of it exists in staff notation or in the English language, which has been added to the services. Two other problems are that much of the English translations that exist are either too literal or clinical, thus stripping the texts of their native poetic beauty and deep rhetoric, and that when English is set to chant, the strict formulaic rules of Byzantine music are often broken, resulting in a melodic line that sounds awkward with language that is stilted. The need for this book arose from these deficiencies. Another consideration in the creation of this book was to create music based on Orthodox traditions which would make congregational participation easier. The melodies of Sakellarides and those of others who followed his lead are very good for this purpose. One does not need years of training to chant them, yet, when they follow the scales of the ancient modes and are harmonized only by a droning tone (ison), and when the English words are given a proper formulaic treatment, they sound much closer to the tradition of the Greek Orthodox Church than the American music of the 20th Century. It is in this spirit that we present this New Byzantine Chant for our services. 2

Normally, the troparion of the name of the local church Ναού follows after. See next page.) 13

Place the troparion of your local church (Ναού) on this page. 14

At this point, the kontakion of the day is chanted by the priest or choir. The kontakion is a musical sermon concerning the commemoration of the day or season. The kontakion for normal Sundays is Προστασία τῶν Χριστιανῶν O Protection of Christians. On feast days, the kontakion of the feast is substituted. During the first five Fridays of Lent, we usually chant the kontakion of the Annunciation, Τῆ ὑπερμάχῳ Mighty Defender. From Pascha to Pentecost, Εἰ καί ἐν τάφῳ Into the Grave is the kontakion,. Forty days before the Nativity of Christ, it is Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον On this Day, the Virgin. See the church bulletin or other source for the kontakion of the day. Τοῦ Κυρίου δεηθῶμεν.

(Inaudible.) Holy God, You dwell among Your saints. You are praised by the Seraphim with the thrice holy hymn and glorified by the Cherubim and worshiped by all the heavenly powers. You have brought all things out of nothing into being. You have created man and woman in Your image and likeness and adorned them with all the gifts of Your grace. You give wisdom and understanding to the supplicant and do not overlook the sinner but have established repentance as the way of salvation. You have enabled us, Your lowly and unworthy servants, to stand at this hour before the glory of Your holy altar and to offer to You due worship and praise. Master, accept the thrice holy hymn also from the lips of us sinners and visit us in Your goodness. Forgive our voluntary and involuntary transgressions, sanctify our souls and bodies, and grant that we may worship and serve You in holiness all the days of our lives, by the intercessions of the holy Theotokos and of all the saints who have pleased You throughout the ages. Ὅτι ἅγιος εἶ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ σοὶ τὴν δόξαν ἀναπέμπομεν, τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ Υἱῷ καὶ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεί, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

A homily on the scripture reading is usually delivered here. On some occasions this homily may be delivered at a different point in the Divine Liturgy. (Χαμηλοφώνως.) Πάλιν καὶ πολλάκις Σοὶ προσπίπτομεν καὶ Σοῦ δεόμεθα, ἀγαθὲ καὶ φιλάνθρωπε, ὅπως, ἐπιβλέψας ἐπὶ τὴν δέησιν ἡμῶν, καθαρίσῃς ἡμῶν τὰς ψυχὰς καὶ τὰ σώματα ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος, καὶ δῴης ἡμῖν ἀνένοχον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον τὴν παράστασιν τοῦ ἁγίου Σου θυσιαστηρίου. Χάρισαι δέ, ὁ Θεός, καὶ τοῖς συνευχομένοις ἡμῖν προκοπὴν βίου καὶ πίστεως καὶ συνέσεως πνευματικῆς δὸς αὐτοῖς πάντοτε μετὰ φόβου καὶ ἀγάπης λατρεύειν Σοι, ἀνενόχως καὶ ἀκατακρίτως μετέχειν τῶν ἁγίων Σου Μυστηρίων, καὶ τῆς ἐπουρανίου Σου βασιλείας ἀξιωθῆναι. (Inaudible.) Again, we bow before You and pray to You, O good and loving God. Hear our supplication: cleanse our souls and bodies from every defilement of flesh and spirit, and grant that we may stand before Your holy altar without blame or condemnation. Grant also, O God, progress in life, faith, and spiritual discernment to the faithful who pray with us, so that they may always worship You with reverence and love, partake of Your Holy Mysteries without blame or condemnation, and become worthy of your heavenly kingdom. Ὅπως, ὑπὸ τοῦ κράτους Σου πάντοτε φυλαττόμενοι, Σοὶ δόξαν ἀναπέμπωμεν, τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ Υἱῷ καὶ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

Σὺ γὰρ μόνος, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, δεσπόζεις τῶν ἐπουρανίων καὶ τῶν ἐπιγείων, ὁ ἐπὶ θρόνου χερουβικοῦ ἐποχούμενος, ὁ τῶν Σεραφεὶμ Κύριος καὶ Βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁ μόνος Ἅγιος καὶ ἐν ἁγίοις ἀναπαυόμενος.

Ἀμήν. (While the Cherubic Hymn is being sung, the Priest prays inaudibly:) No one bound by worldly desires and pleasures is worthy to approach, draw near or minister to You, the King of glory. To serve You is great and awesome even for the heavenly powers. But because of Your ineffable and immeasurable love for us, You became man without alteration or change. You have served as our High Priest, and as Lord of all, and have entrusted to us the celebration of this liturgical sacrifice without the shedding of blood. For You alone, Lord our God, rule over all things in heaven and on earth. You are seated on the throne of the Cherubim, the Lord of the Seraphim and the King of Israel. You alone are holy and dwell among Your saints. You alone are good and ready to hear. Therefore, I implore you, look upon me, Your sinful and unworthy servant, and cleanse my soul and heart from evil consciousness. Enable me by the power of Your Holy Spirit so that, vested with the grace of priesthood, I may stand before Your holy Table and celebrate the mystery of Your holy and pure Body and Your precious Blood. To you I come with bowed head and pray: do not turn Your face away from me or reject me from among Your children, but make me, Your sinful and unworthy servant, worthy to offer to You these gifts. For You, Christ our God, are the Offerer and the Offered, the One who receives and is distributed, and to You we give glory, together with Your eternal Father and Your holy, good and life giving Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen. 19

Lord, God Almighty, You alone are holy. You accept a sacrifice of praise from those who call upon You with their whole heart. Receive also the prayer of us sinners and let it reach Your holy altar. Enable us to bring before You gifts and spiritual sacrifices for our sins and for the transgressions of the people. Make us worthy to find grace in Your presence so that our sacrifice may be pleasing to you and that Your good and gracious Spirit may abide with us, with the gifts here presented, and with all Your people. Through the mercies of Your only begotten Son with whom You are blessed, together with Your all holy, good, and life giving Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. a4 k jz n Á A ìþí. min.

ΣΥΜΒΟΛΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΠΙΣΤΕΩΣ Πιστεύω εἰς ἕνα Θεόν, Πατέρα, Παντοκράτορα, ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὁρατῶν τε πάντων καὶ ἀοράτων. Καὶ εἰς ἕνα Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ, τὸν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων Φῶς ἐκ φωτός, Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ, γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί, δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο. Τὸν δι' ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς Παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα νθρωπήσαντα. Σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου, καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρα κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος. Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὸ Κύριον, τὸ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον, τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν. Εἰς μίαν, Ἁγίαν, Καθολικὴν καὶ Ἀποστολικὴν ολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Ὁμολογῶ ἓν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν. Καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν. The doors! The doors! In wisdom, let us be attentive. THE CREED I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the onlybegotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; and He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; His Kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen. 27

It is proper and right to sing to You, bless You, praise You, thank You and worship You in all places of Your dominion; for You are God ineffable, beyond comprehension, invisible, beyond understanding, existing forever and always the same; You and Your only begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit. You brought us into being out of nothing, and when we fell, You raised us up again. You did not cease doing everything until You led us to heaven and granted us Your kingdom to come. For all these things we thank You and Your only begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit; for all things that we know and do not know, for blessings seen and unseen that have been bestowed upon us. We also thank You for this liturgy which You are pleased to accept from our hands, even
