We only used the "special melody" during Great Lent. On the Myrrhbearers Sunday, we used the regular Tone 2. The unworthy hierodeacon, Vasyl Roslindale, MA ...
The special melody "Noble Joseph" may be used whenever it is appointed in the service books. It is purely modern popular mythology which dictates that the...
... [ml] Thanks, Nikita! Someone else told me it could only be sung during Lamentations, in which case, why have a Cheruvimskaya to that melody at all?! It...
In the Irmologia of SW Rus', this melody occurs in the Octoechos, so it is certainly not limited to Holy Week. On the other hand, be prepared for static if you...
... [ml] Always nice (and useful) to have these bits and pieces of history. I know that the Byzantine melody for "Today the Virgin" is used outside of...
... Dear Meg, No, I'm not breaking out in hives at all. The subject has interested me for years, although my interest has been in the native Russian polyphony...
... Just a few remarks. There are mentions of performing chant in some sort of polyphony in the chinovnik of Novgorod St. Sophia from the 1540s. ... The...
... I have long wondered about this, and I am of the opinion (just an opinion, mind you) that this might have been tolerated in a part of Russia which had...
... Yes, until proven otherwise, I suppose that it is logical to presume that 1) in Russian church singing, the idea of polyphony (but not necessarily its...

... O Russia, the homeland of elephants! Were Russians capable of coming up with harmony on their own or not is outside of the topic, because were they capable...
... Well, to prove your point, traditional Siberian Pelmeny (a staple of Russian "fast food" cuisine, and very popular among Old Believers) are the best form...
... [ml] That's not what I learned from Professor Olga Ackerly, and the only reason I even opened this topic was to refresh, also to expand, my memory on the...
... This is not a matter of ability. There just is no known evidence on Russians singing church music in any sort of harmony during the Mongol Yoke (c....
My apologies for the lateness of the Cues this week -- I work as the secretary for my parish, and the past week has been extremely active. For this day, the...
... I'm going to have to agree with Jopi here. Until the very first mention of polyphonic singing being used in Russian church services (I'm assuming it was in...
Dear Group, Is the special melody for the stichera at "Lord I Have Cried" for the 5th Sunday of Lent the same as the special melody for the stichera at "Lord I...

Christ is risen! Truly risen! Dear Friends -- Dr Olga Ackerly (she and her mother are old friends of mine) might be on to something here. Is it possible that...
This may be an obvious ... but it wasn't during the service tonight. The service felt so festive, it didn't occur to me to use lenten melodies for the...
Matushka:
I've never seen this written anywhere but I never sing the lenten melodies at Annunciation. I've always observed the practice that if there's a full...
Thank you very much Macrina. Unfortunately I need it in slavonic although I guess such a thing doesn't exist judging by the number of responses. Alex...
I was curious if I could find these Irmosy for you, but after a thorough Google search, I could find nothing but the Synodal square-note Irmologion, which is...
... Certainly. If we see something written in monophony, we can well state that there is only the melos in what we see, whereas other parts, were there any or...
Pelmenny in Siberia, vareniki elsewhere in Russia & in eastern Ukraine, pyrohy in western Ukraine & Carpathian Rus', pierogi in Poland--a gift from heaven for...
Dear Stephen and All, Don't give up on commercial pyrohy. There is a brand out there with potatoes that are fast-worthy except for oil. Alas, the name...
Thank you Nikita. The problem is that the canon on the seminaria website is not written in the more commonly known melody which would make it impossible for...
