The Typikon is in many ways a bottom up document without being democratic in the slightest. It has no author, no bishop, no synod even, that wrote it. It wasn’t planned out by a committee. It is the evolved…Read more

There are Eothina Doxastika (Glory hymn at the Praises), Eothina Exapostelaria, and Eothina Gospels all in a cycle of 11 for Sunday *mornings* about which I am sur…Read more

Chanter of approximately 40 years. In the old days we chanted only in Greek and had to use all of the various service books to put together a service. Our main guide from the early 80’s until AGES came out was the…Read more

I’ve taken all the papadic courses so far. Sam has done a *great* job organizing and teaching this material, and I am very impressed with the progress of the students. I’m happy to be here!

I take it the ajem flat is the least flat? A bit more than a slightly raised Kε?
And the Half-Flat is 6 moria, and the natural in its place, and the sharp basically a “pinched” Νη?

It gives a lushness to the piece as…Read more
