Announcing our new music CD
“Christ is Born”
(Ancient Hymns of Nativity & Theophany)

Thanks be to God! We are very grateful and excited to announce our first music CD.   It is a collection of ancient hymns for the weeks preceding the Nativity of Christ, Christmas day itself and the weeks following (including Theophany / Epiphany).  Many of these original melodies and texts are attributed to St. Romanos (6th c.), St. Andrew of Crete (7-8th c.), St. John of Damascus (7-8th c.), St. Cosmas of Maiuma (7-8th c.), St. Theodore the Studite (9th c.), St. Theophanes the Branded (9th c.), and St. Joseph the Hymnographer (9th c.) to name a few.  Some of these special melodies (Prosomia) are set to dozens of other texts throughout the year, as well, in the liturgical books.  They have only recently been metered and transcribed into English.

(See Christ is Born CD for more details and mp3 samples of the tracks.)

News — Recording has begun on our new Pascha CD

God willing, we hope to release our new Pascha CD in 2010.  Research and hymn selection is complete and we have begun recording.  Beside Pascha itself, we plan to feature many of the special melodies (Prosomia) sung during the 40 days of Pascha.
