Great site! I’ve been looking everywhere for this
info. and am thrilled to find it! I have a question for you: I’m
looking for either the written music (modern notation) for the
baptism service and/or a recording. Does that exist? Thanks!
Answer

Thanks, Leanna. I will try to get the baptism music for you soon.
I’ll send an email.

I use your site a lot, because I have to play the organ
at St. Athanasios in Elmira, NY, even though I can’t read music. I
use one hand and write the letters over the notes. I have problems
when I don’t know the songs that we sing once a year...like Easter.
I only play and sing by ear, but I don’t know what the songs sound
like. I cry a lot.

Is anyone publishing Roubanis typeset in both Greek and
English? The manuscripts are quaint, but they are difficult to follow,
and especially if the singer doesn’t read Greek. Resetting them and
translating it would be a great contribution to the choir.
Answer
: It’s on our
“to do” list, but at 300 pages, it’s a daunting task, especially a
translation.

Dear friend, I am new to Orthodoxy: prayer, etc. There is a
lot to learn that is new. Such as the Ochtoechos, Book of Eight Tones. Which
English edition of this book would you recommend for someone new to
learning Orthodox Church hymns? Always, Scott Harrington

Kali spera! I am a professional singer and have been chanting
for about 1 year now. My background is in popular music - in particular,
Gospel, R&B, and Country - so you can imagine the challenges I face
in trying to adapt my sound to the Byzantine style.

great resource you’ve got going here. I was refered by the St. Anthony’s site
when looking for a source for David Melling’s work. I was a student at
the recent Koukouzelis Institute (organized by John Michael Boyer) where
Fr. Ephraim (Lash) told me of Mr. Melling’s book.
