Download or read book Great and Holy Pascha written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of chant and choral music from various Eastern Orthodox Christian traditions, including melodies of Byzantine, Znamenny, Russian "Greek," Kievan, Carpatho-Russian, Galician, Valaam, Bulgarian, and Georgian chant, with chant arrangements and original compositions by some of the leading living composers writing Orthodox church music in North America. These include Nicolas Custer, Roman Hurko, Vladimir Morosan, Walter Obleschuk, Kurt Sander, Jessica Suchy-Pilalis, and Tikey Zes. Also included are contributions by John Buff, Fr. Paul Harrilchak, Peter Howe, Fr. Lawrence Margitich, Anne Schoepp, Vladimir Stamirowski, and John Warren. The music appears in a variety of arrangements, suitable for performance in unison, in two parts, three parts, and four parts. The English texts are taken largely from the usage of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), with some variants supplied, based upon the translations of the eminent Orthodox translator Archimandrite Ephrem (Lash) and other translators. Wherever possible, two stylistic alternatives for second-person pronouns have been provided -- "you/your" and "thou/thy" -- reflecting their varied use within Anglophone Orthodox churches in North America and elsewhere. The musical contents include hymns from the Liturgy of Great and Holy Saturday, the Paschal Nocturn and procession, Paschal Matins (Kanon, Exaposteilarion, Praises, and Stichera), Paschal Hours, Paschal Divine Liturgy (Antiphons, Troparion, Hypakoe, and Kontakion, "As many as have been baptized," Prokeimenon and Alleluia, the Festal Hymn to the Mother of God "The Angel Cried," and the Communion Hymn), Paschal Vespers, miscellaneous unchanging hymns, and several Paschal carols. The compiler and editor, Vladimir Morosan, has provided numerous editorial emendations in the musical scores to facilitate the proper performance of the music. The nature of this collection is essentially practical, rather than scholarly, aimed at musical enriching the Paschal celebrations in English-speaking parishes throughout North America and beyond, and to serve as a vehicle for bringing the music of the earliest liturgical tradition in Christendom to the world's attention.

Download or read book Bede The Reckoning of Time written by Beda (Venerabilis.) and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the patristic age until the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582, computus -- the science of time reckoning and art of calendar construction -- was a matter of intense concern. Bede's The Reckoning of Time (De temporum ratione) was the first comprehensive treatise on this subject and the model and reference for all subsequent teaching discussion and criticism of the Christian calendar. It is a systematic exposition of the Julian solar calendar and the Paschal table of Dionysius Exiguus, with their related formulae for calculating dates. But it is more than a technical handbook. Bede sets calendar lore within a broad scientific framework and a coherent Christian concept of time, and incorporates themes as diverse as the theory of tides and the doctrine of the millennium. This translation of the full text of The Reckoning of Time includes an extensive historical introduction and a chapter-by-chapter commentary. It will interest historians of medieval science, theology, and education, Bede scholars and Anglo-Saxonists, liturgists, and Church historians. It will also serve as an accessible introduction to computus itself. Generations of medieval computists nourished their expertise in Bede's orderly presentation; modern scholars in quest of safe passage through this complex terrain can hope for no better guide.

Download or read book About the Holy Pascha written by Matthew Vlastares and published by . This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than three hundred years following the Gregorian reform of the calendar in A.D. 1582, the Eastern Orthodox Church had adopted a unified and unwaveringly negative stance toward the changes in the reckoning of the Paschal date introduced in the West. Coming as it did barely a century after the tragedy of the alosis of the Vassilevousa Polis, i.e., the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans in 1453, the publication of the Papal Bull Inter Gravissimas had found the Orthodox in a mental state of siege. Obeying a deep-seated instinct, they reacted in a manner that became characteristic of their 400-year long captivity. They dusted off from their shelves respected tomes representing the Orthodox tradition, and repeated verbatim the writings of the Fathers of the past, trusting that in this manner they were fulfilling their obligation to retain unaltered their spiritual inheritance, so as to pass it on to future generations. Prominent among the works employed by the Byzantines in their response to the Papal legates arriving in Constantinople was the treatise by Matthew Vlastares About the Holy Pascha, which had been included in his monumental Syntagma. The text, translated here into English for the first time, has been quoted repeatedly since then by generations of Byzantine hierarchs, theologians and even lay-folk, in countless debates about the reform of the calendar. * * * "Anastasios Ioannides has brought back into print the only modern critical edition of the Greek text of this tract, with the first translation of this important text into a modern language. The English translation is excellent, both literally faithful to the Greek and idiomatically modern. The extensive explanatory notes will be useful to scholars, as well as to readers unfamilar with the subject matter. Dr. Ioannides introduces readers to the mathematical intricacies of Paschal calculations based on the phases of the moon and to the construction of the Byzantine calendar with a base-date of 1 September in the year corresponding to 5509 BC and to the first year of the 532-year Paschal cycle." -- Alden Mosshammer, Professor of History (Emeritus), University of California, San Diego, Author, The Easter Computus and the Origins of the Christian Era
