... Unfortunately, there is probably no definitive way to read the Psalter for the dead. In addition to the order given above, I have a Psalter from Russian...
Thank for this link, Father. FYI, it is not a complete Slavonic Psalter, just the psalms, with the beginning and ending prayers, and the prayers following the...
Dear Daniel: I am sure you are right. I, myself, am aware of a variant in which the Trisagion through to the Lord's Prayer, followed by "Lord, have mercy"...
Dear Stephen: Thanks for the information about the prostopinije psalm tones. That interests me very much. As for the forthcoming Psalter, creatively titled...
Stephen, is this the source for the 'three Psalm tones'? in Prostopenie files section, go down to: CR_PsalmTones.PDF Carpatho-Rusyn Psalm Tones. Then scroll...
Unless something is changed, the POMOG Slavonic/Engish Psalter is no longer available. I contacted the parish a year or so ago and they said that their ...
A question came up after today's Liturgy. Some sources (e.g. Bp Kallistis' Festal Menaion) translate today's prokeimenon from Ps. 98 as "Worship at his...
Philip, The Greek the Boston Psalter is translated off of is basically just Codex Alexandrinus (the base text for the 1821 Moscow LXX), but I couldn't tell you...
Yes, that's it. You might want to check with Nikita Simmons about Znamenny Psalm tones preserved among the Old Believers and forgotten elsewhere; these are...
Prayers continue to be requested for Elizabeth Riggs, the founder of Choir Cues; for Archimandrite Joasaph; and for Matushka Margaret, all of whom are battling...
On the Beatitudes the verses given as 9 and 10 are repeats of verses 7 and 8. Verses 9 and 10 should be different verses taken from the second Canon on Ode...
On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 12:51 PM, Kyril Jenner ... I used two different sources to check these out. On one, verses 7 and 8 were the same verse. On the...
Translation is a balance of clarity and accuracy--to capture in the new language as clearly as possible the meaning of the original text as accurately as...
I agree (as usual) with Fr. Kyril, as does the SJKP calendar. The Typicon arranges it such that verses will be read from all of the odes of the canon during...
According to the Jordanville rubrics, it is only taken from the 1st canon. I know that the other practice is also defensible, but I opted to stick with...
I have limited access to the Jordanville calendar. Perhaps a discussion of the merits of the various calendars would be an interesting topic for another...
... No offense taken here, because I know none was intended, but -- this is a perfect example of what makes this task so darned hard, and everyone just lurking...
Dear All, For a beautiful recording, go to http://files.mail.ru/AE38LW . Wait a few seconds until "skachat" appears in the upper right. I think you type in...
Dear friends - Given that Meg Lark does not have access to all the resources needed for some of the Sunday Liturgies, when you folks encounter problems with...
I have to agree completely with Fr. John Whiteford. I was curious about this whole matter and decided to investigate further in the Slavonic Typicon (Jerusalem...
Ahh, folks, only in the 9th Ode is there a second canon. Of course there is no mention of a second canon earlier. I would use both canons for the Beatitudes...
So, with all the discussion that has gone on around this matter -- I don't see any reason to re-issue the Choir Cues for this week. Those who serve in...
The same issue arises on feast that have two canons on every ode, and the Typikon is not more specific. Both interpretations are defensible, but I went with...
... Where could I find a full second kanon for Exaltation? My books only cite the ninth ode of the second kanon, quite being in congruence with the directions...
Only the Ninth Ode has a second canon, both in the Slavic and the Greek editions of the books I have access to. The Patriarchate's calendar, in its spirit of...
If one chooses to add the polyeleos-rank service to St. Dimitry of Rostov into the mix, then the Beatitudes ought to be on 12, not 8 in the last option below:...
