Indeed, TruthSeeker, she is good. The first sample on this page: http://www.sv-luka.org/chants/indexmedch.htmlbrings me to my knees quite literally. |

Being a Copt, it is strange to my ears to hear a female vocal soloist (my Church is dominated by strong male vocals - maybe an influence of Egypt's arabization), however that was truly quite beautiful. Those samples linked to by ΑÃÂÂÂÂÂιÃÂÂĀοκλή were also quite moving; i've never heard EO chant before, thanks for sharing that. For me, most of the Coptic Good Friday hymns move and humble my spirit; most notably however: Golgotha (this version is recorded with an instrumental, however this hymn is not accompanied by instruments when chanted on Good Friday): http://tasbeha.org/media/index.php?s=Songs%2FCoptic%2FDavid_Ensmble%2FCoptic_Hymns%2Ftrack_02.mp3The chant of Chapter 3 from the Lamentations of Jeremiah: http://media.coptichymns.net:8080/ramgen/coptichymns/pascha/friday/hics/lamentations_fmnm.smilPsalm of Sixth Hour (Rafadoni ana al-habib - "They rejected I the beloved") Psalms 38:21,22;22:16,17,18,7,8: http://tasbeha.org/media/index.php?s=Hymns%2FOther_Occasions%2FHoly_Week%2FElshahid_Abu_Fam%2Fcd2%2Ftrack1.mp3The Trisagion (sad tune): http://tasbeha.org/media/index.php?st=Hymns%2FOther_Occasions%2FHoly_Week%2FIbrahim_Ayad%2FPart_4%2F03-Agios_%28Sad_Tune%29.280.mp3Omonogenes ("Only-Begotten"): http://tasbeha.org/media/index.php?st=Hymns%2FOther_Occasions%2FHoly_Week%2FHigher_Institute_of_Studies_-_Germany%2Fpascha_gr_04.267.mp3+Irini nem makarismos |

Her voice is beautiful. I am a "fan" of Sister Keyrouz. If any of you have heard her, she is Melkite/Maronite, but she sings beautiful EO Liturgies and hymns. You can listen to her here. VK |

[quote author=ΑÃÂÂÂÂÂιÃÂÂĀοκλή link=topic=7526.msg97746#msg97746 date=1131323995] Indeed, TruthSeeker, she is good. The first sample on this page: http://www.sv-luka.org/chants/indexmedch.htmlbrings me to my knees quite literally. [/quote] Listen to the Cherubic Hymn (3rd down on that page). My priest bought a record that has it when he was in Greece 20+ years ago. He transcribed and translated it and it is in our choir books. On page 2 of that site there is another Cherubic Hymn which seems like a really nice blend of polyphonic (more Slavic) and monophonic (Byzantine) chant. A lot of this Serb stuff is really interesting. |

Lucky last on my list has to be the Priest-Deacon "Khristos Anesti" dialogue. The first part of the chant in the file at the below link is performed in english, and the latter majority in arabic; here are the lyrics: Deacon (in English): Christ is Risen from the dead. Priest (in English): Indeed He is Risen from the dead. Deacon (in Arabic): Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up you everlasting doors! (x3) And the King of Glory shall come in. Priest (in Arabic): Who is the King of Glory? Deacon (in Arabic): The Lord, Strong and Mighty. The Lord Mighty in battle! He is the King of Glory... http://www.rapidupload.com/file.php?filepath=6825+Irini nem makarismos |

Fr. Apostolos Hill http://www.saintromanosrecords.com/index.php/cPath/35?osCsid=51c2b59f00f51f501bc18908e11f3571I'd also suggest ensemble settings, male, female, or mixed, because there are some amazing ancient traditions to be found there. |
