I am a Greek Orthodox Christian attempting to learn as many verses of this psalm as possible. I got a version of 25 Greek verses somewhere—I forget exactly where—and transliterated them myself.

If anyone would like a copy of the transliterations, please send me a private message and I'd be glad to send them to you. You'll have to jump around a little bit and skip a few, but I have all of the verses that are chanted in the video.

[acerb45666555]

before christianity, Roman religious singing must have been very close to this in tone. same for pre-christian Greek holy songs.

[Shaxarel]

Yes, Byzantine Chants are influenced heavily by the ancient Greek system, although there is a lot of Jewish and Syriac influence that the ancient systems didn't have prior to Christianity (for example the repition of Hebrew/Aramaic words like "amen/halelujah/allilouia" etc)

And the Roman chants also are influenced by pre-christian tones, mainly Gallic, but again, they incorporated Jewish elements such as the threefold "sanctus", deriving from the Hebrew "kadosh" of the Kadusha.

[soldier9718]

it is halleluliYah

hallelu means praise or give praise

li means to

and Yah is short for YHWH so plz spell it right

[shautora]

I think it would have been similar, but I was having this very discussion with a friend of mine who's a graduate student of Church History, and I feel that there would have been more polyphonic/harmonic texture if this had been an ancient Greek pagan hymn....

[hermetic6]

its true actually the byzantine music has as its base ancient greek music

[xgreciandelightx]

@hermetic6 I'm not too sure about that. From my understanding Byzantine music has a lot of its roots in Jewish liturgical music from before Christ, the main difference being that instruments were eliminated. I heard they were removed because it was thought that Jews used/use instruments because they were still awaiting and trumpeting in the arrival of their Messiah whereas Christians have received theirs and He died for them, which induces a more somber tone. That's mostly speculation, though.

[Callixtinus]

@xgreciandelightx :

Byzantine music is basically Roman music with various elements of eastern, syriac and jewish elements. There are scholars who put forward the concept of a continuity of jewish tradition in christian music but they fail to address the issue of the completely different music theory. Byzantine music is based on an non tempered pythagorian scale of 72 particles exactly like Roman music which is heavily influenced in turn by ancient greek music. The byzantines did take ....

[PrinceofDarknesssory]

@Callixtinus it started in greece actually... the jews didnt have instruments when the greeks had, and those B Y Z A N T I N E tones where synthsized in the Byzantine era by a monk first starting, and then spreading throughout... its all about greek really... if you search throughout...

[Callixtinus]

@xgreciandelightx : ...liturgical elements from the jewish traditions (after all christianity started as an offshoot of Judaism) but inasmuch as the christian faith gained ground in a roman / post-hellenistic environment it actually adopted prevalent cultural trends (like in music, church decoration, mosaics etc.)

[PrinceofDarknesssory]

@hermetic6 true.... and b y z a n t i n music or better, chanting, started in byzantium by a monk!....

[CantorNikolaos]

[Nicephoros]

Dear Vagos2006,

This is absolutely beautiful ! Could you tell me from which cd the track is taken, I would like to purchase it.

[Nicephoros]

Agapite Vagos2006,

[tolisk002]

First of all, this is NOT Psalm 106... it is Psalm 135. It's not a bad rendition. Pretty straightforward in terms of Plagal First mode. Nicely done.

[pavledjurisic123]

O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, for his mercy endureth forever Aleluia.

Hvalite Gospoda, jer je dobar, jer je dovjeka milost njegova, Aliluija.

Through the prayers of the most Holy Theotokos, the Holy Prophet and Forerunner St. John the Baptist, and all the Saints, may the Lord Jesus Christ bless and save the long suffering Holy Orthodox Church and all its faithful. Amen. Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

[prayingmantis2]

Absolutely beautiful. This has to be the best version of Psalm 106 chanted. The Melody and the ison are perfect.
