Agni Parthene (Arabic)

Agni Parthene by St. Nectarios of Aegina (Byzantine chant in Arabic).
O Virgin, Pure.
Recording from http://www.almahaba.org/Taratel.htm
Pictures are from Nativity services in Russia with Patriarch Kirill (from www.patriarchia.ru )
[It might be a little unrelated but it's just something to look at, a way I can get my friends to look at Russian Orthodox Christmas].

OK, I'm cutting short all of the arguments on this post, especially socio-political.

[endofon2008]

the russian ortodox church don't have a music byzantine ! so, is not welcome this video whit Patriach Russian and byzantin music !

[OrthodoxPlanet]

You're mistaken. Sure, we do not predominantly use Byzantine melodies but (at the same time) this is the ONLY melody for this hymn (which is also sung in Slavonic).

Κορή σεμνή και άσπιλε.

Δεσποίνα Παναγία.

Χαίρε Νυμφή Ανύμφευτε. Θερμώς επικαλούμε Σε.

Ναέ ηγιασμένε.

Χαίρε Νυμφή Ανύμφευτε.

@geokonn Maybe he means the Republic of Macedonia which is a UN recognized state (we had Macedonian soldiers with us when I was stationed in Kuwait, in the buildup to the Iraq war). But, I am reiterating my wish that any arguments unrelated to the actual music be taken outside of this post (in private emails, for example).

[geokonn]

@Nemija there is not any state with the name Macedonia!

@adamantis4657 Russian Church music dates back to Kyvian Rus'. At first glance Western and Russian music sound similar, but if you listen closely you will find differences.

Have you ever been to a Catholic mass? Or heard Traditional Catholic music? Russian music's more aggressive and dynamic than it's Latin counterpart and uses much more Flat and Sharp tones.

It gives me chills everytime I hear it.

God bless!
