I briefly mentioned last night that our parish has a growing number of chanters. My challenge is to figure out how to lead, foster, and coordinate their participation. I have no formal choir experience, and there is not anyone in our parish who has led a group of chanters and could…Read more

On the Week 1 Church Books page, the link “A list with definitions can be accessed here” opens the Cycle of Services spreadsheet. Should it be something else?
Thanks,
Nina

My name is Nina Sluz. I chant at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Peoria, IL. I want to learn the structure of the services to correctly lead our growing chant group and to understand how the DCS services are created.

For additional questions through the forum, should we start a new thread or continue with this one?

Thank you,

I hope that you are feeling better.

Three items for Week 5:

1. There are two assignments in the Week 5 section. The first on the Lesson 6 page is to prepare Sunday Orthros for the hypothetical June 7 specifics, and the second on the Structure of Sunday Orthros page is to complete a Orthros template for next week’s Orthros s…Read more

My name is Nina Sluz (rhymes with blues), and I chant at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church in Peoria, Illinois. I am taking this course just for fun and to understand what is going on behind the curtain of the DCS.

The focus could be on resolving the known controversial practices that have been introduced and further adapting the services to the modern era, especially the issues created by the calendar change. These are some of the major reasons for the revisions that have developed throughout the…Read more

Are these the discussion questions for Week 2?

There are many English translations and none of them are authoritative, so which ones do we use?

Should we translate an existing Typikon or create a new one?

Thanks,
Nina

Is there any leeway for the version of the Capstone Project? A different composition of yours for the 4th Mode “Lord, I have cried” and “Let my prayer be set forth” was presented in ByzB 103.
Thank you,
Nina

In the Week 7 Velum lesson, the last sentence of the “Anatomy of the Velum” paragraph reads that when the velum is high all the air comes out through the nose. Should that be mouth instead of nose?
Thanks,
Nina

Question about the Week 5 Gorgon Counting Practice II Answer Key:

On the first practice line for 4th Mode, should the first bar be numbered with a one since it appears to be a one beat pick up note?

Thank you,

Two questions about the Week 5 Guided Reading:

For the Mode Plagal 1 parallagi, it starts from the base of Ke. Are these two lines ones that have not yet been changed to the base of Pa, or is there another reason they are chanted from Ke?

On the document to print, I think there is a typo on the first line for Mode 4. On the video, the…Read more

The internet connection was breaking up a bit when you were answering my question about ways to practice two-note interval pitches. I heard the part where you recommended to think about the intonation, but the rest was a bit garbled.
Thank you,
