At Great Compline, we chant the hymn "Lord of Hosts" whose text is: Lord of Hosts, be with us, for we have none other help in times of sorrow but thee. O Lord of Hosts, have mercy upon us. The verses are supplied from Psalm 150. This is a Greek recording in the Plagal of Tone 6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nJllw0kTz4But honestly, what greater hymn is there other than St. Andrew of Crete's Great Canon. Sure, it's long, but what a great trek through the Scriptures! http://www.orthodox.net/greatlent/great-canon-fifth-week.pdf |

Personally I love "Thy Bridal Chamber" the exapostilarion at Matins on Holy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Unfortunately the only version I could find similar to ours was a midi version so I think I will just leave that where I found it.

Favorite of Lent? Since lent doesn't include Holy Week, I'll answer twice:
The long prokimenon of Cheesfare Sunday evening vespers (it's chanted long in the Greek tradition on the Sunday evenings at Contrition vespers).
For Holy Week: The Glory, Both Now hymn of the Aposticha of Holy Friday Vespers (also called the Un-nailing service).

The hymn in Presanctified Liturgy when we bring the gifts out. I like the line that says "Now the King of Glory enters fulfilled." The somber attitude and the pageantry that goes along with it I find beautiful.

That's the Great Entrance hymn "Now the Powers..." which replaces the Cherubikon for the Presanct. |

I got to sing this hymn tonight in a very traditional and somber plagal of the fourth tone. How majestic and how much it made me realize that Christ and His angels were truly there with us! |

Having Suffered/ Preterp'ivyj which is sang after the conclusion of Pre-Sanctified Liturgy in those parishes of Carpathian mountain descent (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church, ACROD, I'm not sure about the Ukrainian Orthodox parishes).
I like our tradition of chanting the psalms antiphonally ( the whole congregation chants them) during Pre-Sanctified. Most of our services are always sang by the entire congregation in Carpathian Plain-Chant/prostopinije. Many if not most sing from pure memory, if not everyone has the music right there with them. It is uplifting and wonderful to hear everyone singing as one.
Having Suffered lyrics, they are simple, but the melody is beautiful and you sing it three times and prostrate between each time you sing it:
in Latinica/Slavonic
Preter'pivyj za nas strasti, Isuse Christe, Syne Bozij, pomiluj nas, pomiluj, pomiluj nas
Having Suffered the passion for us, Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy , have mercy, have mercy on us.
It's simple but you should hear the music for it, it's pretty.

I love the setting, based on the Byzantine system of chant, of the Great Prokeimenon ("Let my prayer arise...") of the Presanctified Liturgy that my parish uses. Sorry I can't post a link to a recorded singing of this hymn.

By the way (another shameless plug for album of mine), we sang this earlier tonight: http://anaphorapress.com/music/music/cherubika-playlist/ (Track 9) |
