Excerpts from the Choir's DVD "Panagia Pammakaristos", a tribute to the icon and dedicated to the Christians of Constantinople and His All Holiness, the Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew I. Joining the choir was Dr. Elie Azar.
This Doxastikon is the dogmatic Theotokion of plagal second tone in English and the adaptation from the original music of Ioannis Protopsaltis was done by Fr. Ephraim of the St-Anthony Monastery, AZ, USA (www.stanthonysmonastery.org). Some of the choir members are coordinated here by Dr. Nick Giannoukakis, director of the Byzantine Music Workshop and the Byzantine Choir of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh.
