PREFACEPREFACEPREFACEPREFACE

The purpose of New Byzantium Publications is to provide all of the music that may be needed by

lay choirs and chanters of the Greek Orthodox Church in Greek and English and staff notation. Particularly in America, the music in Greek Orthodox Church services has evolved since the 19

th

Century. In the earliest days, it was like the Church in Greece with services all in Greek and the hymns

chanted by trained Byzantine chanters. As the Church became assimilated into American culture, the indigenous Western Christian churches practices had an effect on the Greek Orthodox churches in

various ways such as the introduction of pews, priests everyday appearance with clerical collars and clean-shaven faces, and, particularly affecting our purposes, in the introduction of lay choirs singing

Western-style music with electric organ accompaniment. Since most parishes had a Greek chanter, the

singing of these choirs was limited to the ordinary hymns of the Divine Liturgy.

As the 20th Century advanced through its middle years, these choirs took on increasing importance

and responsibility in the life of the Church. English was introduced into the Divine Liturgy, so that by the end of the century, most churches were employing bi-lingual services. The Western notation and

musical influence resulted in four-part polyphonic music in the choirs. Parts of the Holy Week

services and other feasts of the Church were added to the choirs repertoires. In addition, the increasing unavailability of trained Byzantine chanters caused situations in many parishes where the

chanting duties were taken up by amateurs who were chanting by memory and guesswork. Presbyteras

and members of the lay choirs were called upon to chant services when there was no chanter available. For these Western-trained singers, the need arose for more music in English and in staff notation.

The issue of English translations is a difficult one. In the Orthodox Church, the texts of services are of the utmost importance and the ancient Greek texts were accompanied by a musical system that

was designed to highlight and emphasize the texts, and to create a system of musical modes and model melodies that would ease the tremendous burden of learning the 10,000+ hymns of the Church.

English translations were often word-by-word literal and took no heed of the modal patterns of the

melodies. The majestic poetry was missing in many English translations, replaced by technical, clinical, or awkward phrases. The elaborate polyphonic music also began to distract and obscure the

centuries-old hymns of the Church.

New Byzantium Publications attempts to resolve these problems by offering side-by-side Greek

and English versions of all of the hymns a lay choir or chanter may be called upon to chant during

typical Sunday and festal services. Traditional Byzantine melodies are presented in Western staff notation, so that they may be readily used by people trained in Western music. They are not intended

to replace traditional Byzantine chanting and notation, but when chanted clearly and strongly with a focus on the texts, they come much closer to the traditional chants of the Greek Orthodox Church than

most of the 20th Century renditions. The English translations are constructed in a manner that follows

the rules and rubrics of the Byzantine musical system. The eight musical tones of the Octoechos and the model melodies are followed, and the pattern of accented to unaccented syllables and the textual

phrases match those of the Greek, while at the same time retaining the flow, the theological meaning,

and the power of its poetry. Nancy Chalker Takis is a hierarchically-blessed chanter of the Church and has had a long career of

chanting in many churches. She is well known for her English translations and adaptations of the music of the Greek Orthodox Church and has conducted many workshops on this topic throughout the

United States. Her husband, Stanley John Takis, a music teacher by training, is the choir director at

Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, which is the largest parish in the Metropolis of Detroit. He has worked closely with Mrs. Takis and other chanters in learning the

Byzantine music system. He is also responsible for editing and maintaining the New Byzantium Publications sheet music, books, and the www.newbyz.org website.

SUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAY AND FESTAL AND FESTAL AND FESTAL AND FESTAL TYPIKON TABLE TYPIKON TABLE TYPIKON TABLE TYPIKON TABLE FOR THE ME FOR THE ME FOR THE ME FOR THE MENNNNAIONAIONAIONAION SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER SEPTEMBER TO DECEMBER

The purpose of this table is to help choirs and chanters know which hymns and verses of the Menaion are

scheduled to be chanted on any particular Sunday in the Divine Liturgy, which may then be marked with a paper clip or other bookmark so that they may be easily accessed during the service. It may also be used to find

liturgy hymns of the great feasts of the Church, even if they do not fall upon a Sunday. The numbers displayed

for each date are the Menaion page numbers of the prescribed hymns when that date falls on a Sunday. If the date falls on a weekday, there may be other or different hymns that are chanted in the liturgy.

The Greek version of the hymns or verses is the even page number and the English version is the odd number. The dagger (), is used to indicate the default hymns or verses for Sundays when a special hymn is not

prescribed. These hymns and verses may be found in the New Byzantium Publications Divine Liturgy Book. Most of them can probably also be found in most Divine Liturgy books. The dagger symbol represents the

following hymns and verses:

AAAAntiphons and ntiphons and ntiphons and ntiphons and Small EntranceSmall EntranceSmall EntranceSmall Entrance Hymn Hymn Hymn Hymn: The verses of the 1

st Antiphon from Psalm 102 and the refrain Tes

presvies / Through the intercessions The verses of the 2nd Antiphon from Psalm 145 and the refrain

Soson Imaso anastas ek nekron / O Son of God Who arose from the dead and after the first apolytikion, the Small Entrance Hymn that includes the words o anastas ek nekron / who arose from the dead. During the

period from Pascha to the Ascension, the dagger denotes the Antiphons and Small Entrance of Pascha.

The ApolytikiaThe ApolytikiaThe ApolytikiaThe Apolytikia: The eight apolytikia on the Resurrection, one for each of the eight musical tones of the

Octoechos, which are rotated from Sunday to Sunday in the following order: First Tone, Second Tone, Third Tone, Fourth Tone, Plagal First Tone, Plagal Second Tone, Grave Tone, and Plagal Fourth Tone. It is chanted

twice, once before the Small Entrance hymn and once after.

The KontakionThe KontakionThe KontakionThe Kontakion: The Kontakion of the Theotokos, Prostasia ton Christianon / O Protection of Christians.

During the first five Sundays of Lent, the dagger means the Kontakion of the Annunciation, Ti Ipermacho / Mighty Defender. During the time from Pascha to the Ascension, the dagger indicates the Kontakion of

Pascha, I ke en tafo / Into the grave.

The The The The SmallSmallSmallSmall Entrance Entrance Entrance Entrance Procession Procession Procession Procession: The Trisagion Hymn, Aghios O Theos / Holy God. The only substitutions for

this hymn in the Divine Liturgy are the Procession of the Cross, Ton Stavron Sou / Before Your Cross, and

the Procession of Baptism, Osi is Christon / As many of you who have been baptized into Christ.

MegalynarionMegalynarionMegalynarionMegalynarion: For the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, Axion estin / Truly it is right. For the Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, the dagger denotes Epi si cheri / In you rejoices and has precedence over festal megalynaria.

Communion HymnCommunion HymnCommunion HymnCommunion Hymn: Enite ton Kyrion / Praise the Lord. During the period from Pascha to Ascension, the dagger represents Soma Christou / Receive ye the Body of Christ.

PostPostPostPost----Communion HymnCommunion HymnCommunion HymnCommunion Hymn: Idhomen to fos / We have seen the true light. During the period from Pascha to Ascension, the dagger represents Christos Anesti / Christ Is Risen.

The chart also indicates if the apolytikion of the patron or feast of the local church (the column labeled Church

Hymn) is to be chanted on a particular day. During the time of the movable feasts, the Triodion and the

Pentecostarion, one must know when that period begins and ends, because it has an effect on which hymns are prescribed for any particular Sunday. This chart tries to reflect those effects. However, it is important that you

have the companion book to this Menaion, New Byzantium Publications Festal and Sunday Divine Liturgy Hymns of the Triodion and Pentecostarion in order to have a complete set of hymns and verses for Sundays and major feasts.
