Through foolishness they deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong way in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave. By their works and their theories they infected the masses with the presumption to think themselves adequate judges.
The rule was to listen silently and learn; boys, teachers, and the crowd were kept in order by threat of the stick. . . . But later, an unmusical anarchy was led by poets who had natural talent, but were ignorant of the laws of music...
Our music was once divided into its proper forms...It was not permitted to exchange the melodic styles of these established forms and others. Knowledge and informed judgment penalized disobedience. There were no whistles, unmusical mob-noises, or clapping for applause.
@TheWheelofLife100 Remember that your own nature has been taken up into God Himself in Jesus Christ. You cannot find any religion in which God and man are any closer than in Christianity. Following a religion that doesn't really believe in a deity at all will not get you any closer to Him than you can be as a Christian. Study your faith, its history, and its saints and martyrs. You cannot go wrong that way.
I think that it truly takes many times listening to the beautiful chants that were sung before our time. This type of music makes you remember your roots and the great religion that it comes from. To all that appreciate the wonders of this music God Bless.
@erdal0 Wonderful, another hateful & name-calling fool. I'd never say that to you on a page that means something to you. It's called "respect"? I was simply making a POINT from what I know about the Eastern Orthodox church, having been raised in it & understanding its origin. Do not tell me something I already know. You're the one who chose to label it "judgment." That's on you, because that wasn't my intent nor will I sink to your level. Bye bye!
@erdal0 It's not (although I don't know what that would sound like). Hymns are either taken from the Bible itself or from centuries of church tradition. What's sung in church sounds a little different than these chants, but it's all the same. There are different "plagal tones" in which you will hear these; how the cantors keep them all straight I'll never know (of course the people can sing along also).
@Ellatha1 You know it. A good friend of mine is Ukrainian Catholic and I started going to Divine Liturgy with him. A lot of church going folk dont even understand what they're missing, the experience is so overwhelming, the sights and sounds and smells... all dedicated to the magnification and glory of God.
@windex007 Yes, this makes me sad. CENTURIES of history and you're right, people take for granted the beauty of it all. Maybe as you said, the people who go to church regularly are just used to it so they fail to see the wonder and it takes someone who hasn't seen the service many times to fully appreciate it. Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for posting this lovely hymn!

I apologize to any Turks that are here, but I wish Constantinople stayed in the hands of the eastern Roman empire and remained a Christian city.
Loss of Hellenism in Asia Minor and Constantinople is the greatest cultural theft that the West has ever suffered. The city was still half-Christian right up to the 20th century. Kemalist Turkey, in its quest to build a Turkish nation-state out of the Ottoman empire, brutally destroyed millennia-old Hellenistic civilization of the East.

Well, I am not an evolutionist either, but I would like to know why you say Constantinople was never Greek. The language and culture of both the city and the empire were Greek, most of the emperors were Greek, and so forth.
@telamon2011 Taken from wikipedia ... Constantinople was founded by the ROMAN emperor Constantine I on the site of an already-existing city, Byzantium, settled in the early days of Greek colonial expansion, probably around 671-662 BC. The site lay astride the land route from Europe to Asia and the seaway from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and had in the Golden Horn an excellent and spacious harbour....
While this is true with regard to the founding, it must also be remembered that the Roman Empire was split into western and eastern halves, and the western (Latin) part fell to the German hordes in the fifth century. The Byzantine Empire was indeed multicultural, but to say that it was not Greek was like saying that the Russian Empire was not primarily Russian, and that China is primarily not Han. I am struck by the Darwinist-common ancestry claim? Not monkeys, then whom?
@telamon2011 You have a point there, but it's not true that the western part of the Empire fell to the german hordes. There were invasions and Rome was taken twice, but by latin-speaking, roman-clothed and roman-minded mercenaries of german descent which held roman ranks in the roman army, and they were christian too. The myth about the triumphant, pagan, german hordes sacking everything comes from northern-european, protestant historians and their superficial understanding of those times.
@smile221 Charlemagne was a fully "romanized" character, culturally and religiously, whose people had encountered roman-cultured peoples and lived among them for three centuries before his birth. His language would be the root of modern french (which is is of course a latin-derived language) and even his imperial ambitions were to restore the Empire in the roman fashion, expanding eastwards and northwards to civilize and evangelize the german peoples that Rome never conquered.
@1990RFD Respectfully, I disagree. Like many rulers in the middle ages - Charlemagne inhabited the corpse of the Roman empire in order to give legitimacy to himself and his reign - However, he was brought up in Frankish lands in modern day belgium, and while he wore a toga to his coronation by the pope after his successful war against the lombards - the rest of the time he dressed like any northern frankish nobleman would.
@smile221 By "restoring the Empire in the roman fashion" I do not mean the way people clothed themselves. Also, his aim was not solely to legitimate his reign by "inhabiting the corpse of the Empire", but actually recovering, invigorating and expanding it both materially (which includes the cultural aspect) and religiously. The Pope recognized such a claim and thus crowned him according to the old annointing ritual. Even other european kings referred to him as "the one Emperor."
@1990RFD That was a recognition of his power - Not of his 'romanness'. The fact that Charlemagne used Roman power structures already in place to support and enhance his own majesty is beyond the point - I was arguing that the Roman culture which had up to that point existed in much of western europe was separated forever - A point that most medieval historians agree with. I suggest you bone up on your ancient greek rhetorical fallacies before you reply next time
Thank you so much for uploading this divine hymn by a true master of Byzantine music, and adding these wonderful icons from different parts of the Orthodox world. As a Serb, I am particularly proud to see our St. Sava among them. Ευχαριστώ πολύ και να σας έχει ο Θεός καλά εσάς και όσους αγαπάτε!
Dear Rumpranger65, Also, study the schisms w/in Orthodoxy, of the Monophysites and the Monothesites. We have had many problems in The Church through the centuries. This Sunday, as part of Great Lent, at Vespers, we will read all the anethemas of heretics and schismatics throughout our history and profess the purity of Orthodoxia (Correct teaching) and Orthopraxia (Correct practice.) May our Saviour reveal the fullness of His Bride, the Orthodox Church to you! With love in our Saviour, Maria
Dear Rumpranger 65, This is not to be cruel; it is simply the truth. Also, read "The History of The Council of Florence" and you will learn more (even though the reading is dry. The Jesuits made Eastern Europe "Byzantine Catholics" by duping them and Carpatho-Russia. Do no believe Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople; he has betrayed Orthodoxy by his Ecumenism, as well as have many other Orthodox hierarchs, clergy and laity. Our theologies are incompatible, esp. w/pagans.

Dear Rumpranger65, There can be NO unity between the Orthodox Christians and the Roman Catholics, Protestants,and other religions. If you study the history of Christianity, the Great Schism of 1054, the Protestant "Reformations" created a heterodoxy. You find that the schisms in Christianity destroyed the purity of Christianity, as handed down by Christ, The Apostles, The Fathers of The Church and the 7 Ecumenical Councils. As for other world religions, they do NOT believe in the Triune God.
@1ethiopialove May God protect you from the Muslims who believe that the only "good Christian" is a dead Christian. Pray to our Saviour, Panagia, your guardian angel and the saints; they will protect you! Pray also to St. Menas, since he was in Egypt. Good strength! Good Success! With love in our Merciful Saviour, Maria
@mrspartan32Thank you. What an incredibly respectful and insightful response. I do believe in God. Fully and truly. The Orthodox Church is the true Church, Glory to God.
I spent a few years in a monastery, singing Gregorian. This sends chills up my spine. As Thomas Merton said of Tibetan chant, "It sounds like the engine of the universe."
Im from an orthodox backround but my family are not practising I would like to visit my local church st.Ignatius in Belfast but im unsure, antiochian churches seem to be moving towards english liturgies thats not right..
@ConCon75 Don't be dissuaded. Orthodox liturhgies may be spoken in any language. That's the point. It is truly the universal and true Church. Language does not matter,
@tolgaoztemur It seems that someone immitates the other...Or more simple: Of how many millions of today's Turks their anchestors were christian that were islamized (usually by force)? All these abdullah people had never parallely lost their taste in music...
I agree with you our anchestors were Christian. Then after they were Islamized. Then after they were asimilated into Turk especially during the time of Turkey republic. It is a myth that we are Central assian.
No one can denie fachist assimilation policy of Turkey in the past. Fellow Greek sent away. Not many Armenian left behind. Many Kurds were slaughtered. We were all given a surname.
I'm always listening to these chants before I go to sleep. It soothes my mind and reminds me of the times I used to go to church. I can't stop listening to it though, it's like a massive trance into another dimension. I just wish there was a CD for these particular chants sung by Mr Papanikolaos.
Its is not gregorian. But those byzantine chants had much influence on the gregorian chant. You can here that it is byzantine because of the so called "Ison-Praxis", where there is a kind of "bordune tone". Gregorian chant was absolutely unison.
He is just expressing him self to God by this, another way of telling people the truth, there is beyound so much we don't know. You should check out the Orthodox church, but you don't haft to, it's by freewill, you can choose to love God or not love him, Gods not going to stop you from deciding.
@vagos2006 it's orthodox, it doesn't matter whether it is Arabic, Greek, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Romanian, Russian, or Serbian and etc. This division into ethnic groups is a tremendous weakness. I hope "divide and conquer" will give you some food for thinking...
Click on my name and see orthodox christian miracles.
From when the forbiden fruit was eaten, World has 2 problems. Death and expulsion from heaven. There are many religions, however Orthodox Church , or Orthodox Christianity has solution for the 2 problems. Baptism allows you to get back to Heaven. Food for eternal life gives you back eternal life. Protestantism may have renounced food for eternal life. Find on google "On Sunday Orthodox food eternal life" first result.
@saiyanguy45 It's hearthbreaking to see the suffering that the Copts endure in Egypt. We pray for you at our parish. Hopefully all Orthodox will be in communion soon worldwide.
@6MemoryOfForever9 very well said! i#m happy that you and your contribute to the unity of both churches. May people take yoou as an example. We have way way more in common than things that seperate us.
What you are hearing is the intonation to start the tone. Virtually every Byzantine chanter does this. It helps to get into the tone of that particular hymn. It will be either Ananes, Anes, Agia (used for 4th tone) etc. God Bless!
@sw8074 I'm sorry, but this sounds nothing like it to me! in summer, in my native country, we hear the Adhan 2 or 3 times a day, and it is nothing like that, every adhan I have heard sounds nothing like that! the adhan is usually high pitched and sang in a way I do not, with all my respect, consider beautiful, orthodox chanting is sang with a deeper pitch, and it is very very beautiful, I'm not even orthodox! so no bias here! again, with all due respect! :D peace
@6MemoryOfForever9 Don't feel sorry, it's your opinion. The Orthodox Church was the main religion in the Arab world before the rise of Islam. So, yes, the Muslim Call to Prayer sounds very much like this Byzantine Chant, wether you like it or not.
I am nondemoninational but I adore chants and the old sense of sacred space. Thats something I wish America had, the old sense that a church was a place of blessing, not a salvaged strip mall. I pray for unity and peace, that when our Lord comes He finds a people united against His enemies, not against ourselves
I'm Catholic but I love the Orthodox. I pray for unity. BTW, why do you call this plagal of 1st tone? Is it the same thing as 5th tone? Or is it something else? Thank you.
@vagos2006 Yes vagos you probably know more than me about byzantine chant but ive seen it in the Holy Week books that the english translation says," 1st Plagal Tone. 5thTone" and i have seen it other places as well.
Its the same thing my friend. But according to traditional byzantine music, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th tones take on the name of plagal in the front of the 1st, 2nd, except for Grave tone and 4th tone. God Bless!
@rumpranger65 Yes, sometimes Pl. 1st is called the 5th tone. "Plagal of the 1st" tells you more about the musical structure of the tone if you already know what the 1st tone is.
To make things even more confusing, sometimes the 7th tone is the pl. of the 3rd, and sometimes it is something else entirely, epending on whether the singer sings in teh original 7th tone or the 7th that was developed later.
@rumpranger65 Yes, I suspect the Gregorian tones are even similar in structure. I heard 'O Gladsome Light' sung at a Western Rite Vespers not long ago, and it was basically a Gregorian stylized version of the chant I hear sung Byzantine style in my regular parish. There were other intoned Gregorian hymns I remember hearing that day that were similar enough musically for me to pick out which tone was being sung.
@rumpranger65 .1st tone is mean the 1 of 8 of Byzantine music voices. (for example: the bases in Byz & Eur music. ni, pa, vu, ga (Γα), di (Δι), Κe (Κε), zo, ni. /// do, re, mi , fa, sol ,la ci ,do
Yes its the same as 5th Tone. But Traditional Byzantine Music usually calls 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th tones Plagal 1st, Plagal 2nd, Grave Tone (Varis), and Plagal 4th tone. God Bless!
Where, oh where can a wretch like me learn of Orthodoxy? Oh G*d how I have craved to at least have a faith that I know is the original faith. CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? I am tired. I am so tired of not having a link to Him.
The original faith that you seek is the risen and living Christ!! Yes, he does exist in our blessed and holy Orthodox Church, and he can be found here, but do not believe for a moment that he is not ready and waiting to receive you as a son and a brother. In other words, repent and be baptized, and do his will and you and he will be linked by means of the One who came at Pentacost--the Holy Spirit.
Where do you live? Here in Toronto we have both English and Greek speaking churches. The English Orthodox Church (St. Joseph's Of Arimathea in Pickering) are where the Newly converted go so that they can understand the services. Send me a message and we can talk.
us orthodox christians accept all who would like to be apart of our church, feel free to stop in at any orthodox church on a sunday or holiday bright and early and if you like it speak to anyone about becoming apart of the family or just keep showing up.
Dan, may God bless you. Orthodoxy is the original Christian faith - unchanged. Mt. Athos would be a great place to go, but you may also benefit by reading various books on Orthodoxy - many are written by Fr. Seraphim Rose and others - which can help you learn/understand the Faith. Prayer will be most helpful - ask God to open your heart and mind to the Faith and His will. Visit the holy uncorrupt relics of St. John Maximovitch and ask for Vladika John's intercessions. What a great St. he is!
@TheDanbristol, Elder Epraim, who was originally abbot in monasteries of Mount Athos, Greece, has come to America and made 18 beautiful monasteries. There is so much spiritualism in these places, that they put the teachings of the budhists and hindus to shame.
@TheDanbristol suggest reading up the goarch. org /ourfaith. it is the Greek Orthodox Archdiosece page but it is in English so reading it wont be a problem. It has articlesabout the Orthodox Faith. check out the parish direct. on this url and good the orthodox church in Us and Ca. to find local parishes that speak english

Well, I am not an evolutionist either, but I would like to know why you say Constantinople was never Greek. The language and culture of both the city and the empire were Greek, most of the emperors were Greek, and so forth.
telamon2011 7 months ago
@telamon2011 Taken from wikipedia ... Constantinople was founded by the ROMAN emperor Constantine I on the site of an already-existing city, Byzantium, settled in the early days of Greek colonial expansion, probably around 671-662 BC. The site lay astride the land route from Europe to Asia and the seaway from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, and had in the Golden Horn an excellent and spacious harbour....
jkrywono 7 months ago
@jkrywono
While this is true with regard to the founding, it must also be remembered that the Roman Empire was split into western and eastern halves, and the western (Latin) part fell to the German hordes in the fifth century. The Byzantine Empire was indeed multicultural, but to say that it was not Greek was like saying that the Russian Empire was not primarily Russian, and that China is primarily not Han. I am struck by the Darwinist-common ancestry claim? Not monkeys, then whom?
telamon2011 7 months ago
@telamon2011 You have a point there, but it's not true that the western part of the Empire fell to the german hordes. There were invasions and Rome was taken twice, but by latin-speaking, roman-clothed and roman-minded mercenaries of german descent which held roman ranks in the roman army, and they were christian too. The myth about the triumphant, pagan, german hordes sacking everything comes from northern-european, protestant historians and their superficial understanding of those times.

@1990RFD To be fair, when Charlemagne conquered Rome the culture of the west did separate from its Roman origin with the exception of religion
smile221 6 months ago
@smile221 Charlemagne was a fully "romanized" character, culturally and religiously, whose people had encountered roman-cultured peoples and lived among them for three centuries before his birth. His language would be the root of modern french (which is is of course a latin-derived language) and even his imperial ambitions were to restore the Empire in the roman fashion, expanding eastwards and northwards to civilize and evangelize the german peoples that Rome never conquered.
1990RFD 6 months ago
@1990RFD Respectfully, I disagree. Like many rulers in the middle ages - Charlemagne inhabited the corpse of the Roman empire in order to give legitimacy to himself and his reign - However, he was brought up in Frankish lands in modern day belgium, and while he wore a toga to his coronation by the pope after his successful war against the lombards - the rest of the time he dressed like any northern frankish nobleman would.
smile221 6 months ago
@smile221 By "restoring the Empire in the roman fashion" I do not mean the way people clothed themselves. Also, his aim was not solely to legitimate his reign by "inhabiting the corpse of the Empire", but actually recovering, invigorating and expanding it both materially (which includes the cultural aspect) and religiously. The Pope recognized such a claim and thus crowned him according to the old annointing ritual. Even other european kings referred to him as "the one Emperor."
1990RFD 6 months ago
@1990RFD That was a recognition of his power - Not of his 'romanness'. The fact that Charlemagne used Roman power structures already in place to support and enhance his own majesty is beyond the point - I was arguing that the Roman culture which had up to that point existed in much of western europe was separated forever - A point that most medieval historians agree with. I suggest you bone up on your ancient greek rhetorical fallacies before you reply next time

Dear Rumpranger65, There can be NO unity between the Orthodox Christians and the Roman Catholics, Protestants,and other religions. If you study the history of Christianity, the Great Schism of 1054, the Protestant "Reformations" created a heterodoxy. You find that the schisms in Christianity destroyed the purity of Christianity, as handed down by Christ, The Apostles, The Fathers of The Church and the 7 Ecumenical Councils. As for other world religions, they do NOT believe in the Triune God.

@rumpranger65 Yes, sometimes Pl. 1st is called the 5th tone. "Plagal of the 1st" tells you more about the musical structure of the tone if you already know what the 1st tone is.
To make things even more confusing, sometimes the 7th tone is the pl. of the 3rd, and sometimes it is something else entirely, epending on whether the singer sings in teh original 7th tone or the 7th that was developed later.

There were other intoned Gregorian hymns I remember hearing that day that were similar enough musically for me to pick out which tone was being sung.

Prayer will be most helpful - ask God to open your heart and mind to the Faith and His will. Visit the holy uncorrupt relics of St. John Maximovitch and ask for Vladika John's intercessions.
