Cherubic Hymn - Χερουβικόν - 4th Tone Agia (Byzantine Chant)

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

Cherubic Hymn: 4th tone Agia, composed by Fokaeus, which is chanted in the Divine Liturgy of The Greek Orthodox Church during the Great Entrance...
"Let us who mystically portray the Cherubim, and chant the thrice-holy hymn unto the life-creating Trinity, lay aside all earthly care, that we may receive the King of all, escorted invisibly by the angelic orders. Alleluia."

No instruments are used when chanting byzantine music, only the human voice can be used and nothing else.

The 4-th tone aghia it's one of the most difficult byzantyne musical scale.So, only a master can sing something like that

[vagos2006]

Yes indeed. Agia is the most difficult to chant, it can throw you into many different tones if you don't know what your are doing, and sound so horrible if its not chanted they way it should.

@vagos2006 Diatonic grave (varys) is also pretty difficult to get right, imo.

Saitta to me sounds like Sagitta from Latin meaning arrow. (drop the g and you'll get that name.)
