This is very beautiful but as a very traditional Ukrainian Greek Catholic, I dont think that there should be pews in a church! Whenever I want to cross myself and touch the ground or prostrate and touch my head to ground or do a deep bow, as Eastern rite Catholics do, I can't because a pew is in my way! I have to drive even further just to go to an Eastern Orthodox Church just to pray and come back to the Eastern Catholic Church to receive Holy Eucharist. This is a Beautiful Service though.
Well in that case, thankyou for enlightening me on that, and with that in mind, God bless Catholics, Orthodox,, and all my brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. God bless!!!
This lituragy looks more Orthodox than Catholic. Orthodox is also catholic in the sense that its universal(for everyone both jew and gentile) but its not "Catholic" as in the denomination as in with popes such as Church of Rome!!!
It is Catholic in the sense of denomination in that during the Divine Liturgy there are several petitions in the litanies for the Pope (of Rome). The liturgy is the same as the Orthodox since the Eastern Catholics of the Rusyn region were formerly Orthodox prior to 1643.
Western Ukraine is Rusyn territory if my geography and histiory are correct. The language is Church Slavonic. I was inquiring as to the music arrangement of the melody by way of region rather than the linguistics.
If it was a Slovak arrangement, it would have been sung in literary Slovak and not Church Slavonic. Thus, it is one of the numerous different Subcarpathian Rus' Prostopinije versions of the Trisagion as sung in the Rusyn recension of Church Slavonic language
Holy God, Holy And Mighty, Holy And Immortal, Have Mercy On Us!! (Three times) Glory Be To The Father And To The Son And To The Holy Spirit, Now And Ever and Forever! Amen! Holy And Immortal Have Mercy On Us! Holy God, Holy And Mighty, Holy And Immortal Have Mercy On Us!
While the chior is singing (or chanting) this TRISAGION hymm, the preist prays along silenty at the alter, bowing three times, and then goes behind the altar to prepare for the Epistle, or first reading.

Sounds like a Western Ukrainian dialect to me under the pseudonym of "Rusyn."
