Άξιον Εστίν - Axion Estin - It is Truly Meet - 1st Tone Heptaphonic

Chanted by Byzantine Master and Professor of Byzantine Music Mr. George Papanikolaos from Samos, Greece.

Chanted in the 1st Tone - Heptaphonic
This is chanted right after We hymn thee we bless thee....etc.(Anophora-Liturgical Responses...check out other video that goes before this one to complete this clip) during the petitions and responses of the Divine Liturgy of the Greek Orthodox Church.

It is Truly Meet to call Thee Blest, the Ever Blessed and all Immaculate and Mother of Our God. More Honorable than the Cherubim and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim. Thee who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word the Very Theotokos, Thee do we Magnify.

This is so fantastic to hear such a beautiful voice singing with great knowledge of how it should be sung. Thanks for posting these, as I am in a chant class.

Άξιον εστίν ως αληθώς

μακαρίζειν σε την Θεοτόκον,

την αειμακάριστον και παναμώμητον

και μητέρα του Θεού ημών.

Την τιμιωτέραν των Χερουβείμ

και ενδοξοτέραν ασυγκρίτως των Σεραφείμ

την αδιαφθόρως Θεόν Λόγον τεκούσαν,

την όντως Θεοτόκον,

Σε μεγαλύνομεν.
