Is there any particular book(s) in English that might be recommended that would help me find some of the special melodies (podobny) in English? Thank you for...
Which singing tradition are you wanting podobny/prosomoia melodies for? Byzantine Chant? The modern Russian chant repertoire? Unison Znamenny Chant?...
... I don't know about Deacon Philosoph, but I could sure use the modern Russian chant repertoire, as well as Znamenny Chant. (Yes, I still have the ten...
I suspect that most of us who work on arranging English texts to Podoben melodies work from the model melodies with Slavonic texts and have found no necessity...

Greetings, Meg, Just wanted to doublecheck that the Hours are correct. It seems strange to have 2 Kontakia at the 3rd Hour (Forefeast, St. Seraphim), but...
... That's OK, I had a *really* hard time deciphering the Hours, and would welcome corrections on this point, especially since it's getting down to the wire,...
I added a section in the general introduction to the St. Innocent Calendar that explains how this works: G. The Troparia and Kontakia at the Hours. Â The...
Father, bless! I had read that explanation, but somehow, the sentence on how to handle three Troparia didn't register. I will issue a correction immediately....
It has been pointed out to me that there is an error in the posting of the Hours for this coming Sunday, so I am re-issuing the Cues. My thanks to Fr. John...

No, Meg. The Resurrection Kontakion is NOT done at the first hr. when it is sung after the 6th Ode at Matins. It is done during the 3rd Hour. That is true of...
Yes, Meg, there are Special Melodies in Tones 3 and 7, but none in the common repertoire (at least for the Russian Church). As you have probably already...
