Since you’ve mentioned Typikon 101, I don’t really understand the course sequence, since Typikon 100 is not listed in the course catalog. What is the difference between 100, that we’re in, and 101? You might have said this in the beginning but I had some technical issues logging into the beginning of the first class.
When will information about the next classes be available? Thanks.
The Menaion page you want is 169 and following = pdf electronic page 177.
After Oct. 31, the Menaion has “additional services” for more recent saints and that part ends on Oct. 20 (Part 2) for St Gerasimos of Kephalonia.Yes, do the vespers service for Saturday night Oct 26, which liturgically begins Vespers for Oct 27.
So, a question about the homework. For the dismissal hymns, what if the Menaion shows two dismissal hymns, each in a different tone? Which one governs the Theotokion? Or is it only of the tone of the doxastikon previously used? And I assume that the tone and theotokion stick together, that is, we select the dismissal theotokion based on the governing tone, right? You’d never use the words of a hymn in tone y to the tune of tone z, right?
I’m Paul Fallon, from Fredericksburg, Virginia. I’m supposedly 77% of the way through my actuarial journey through life. My church is the Nativity of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church. I have sung in the choir for about 15 or more years. In recent years, though, I realized if we wanted more in English, I’d have to step up. So I’m essentially self-taught. I’ve leaned heavily on DCS. So I’ve been one of the chanters and in the last two years, the English language chanter and backup for when the main chanter can’t make a service. On 9/8/2024, I was tonsured a Reader.
I’d like to know things like why during the Feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos on a Sunday, the prescribed reading for the feast was not used. I don’t know if we’ll cover any of the lectionary.
I’m disappointed that the EP’s typikon on the website has been under construction for years. I’m disappointed that the red ΕΠΕΤΗΡΙΣ is so expensive and only in Greek. So I hope this course will help me understand the variables and changes in especially vespers, orthros, and liturgy.
We’ll see what our instructor says, but available in a bunch of discrete files in Greek are many texts:
