Psalm 135 in the First Plagal Mode by E leftherios Georgiadis with the choral setting by Anna Gallos
This hymn is sung in Greece in place of the Communion Hymn, Enite ton Kirion. It is in a simple harmonic style and easy to learn since the melody is the same in all six verses. However, the composer does not advocate singing it instead of the Enite, but incorporating it with the Communion Hymn if the Enite is short. It can also be sung during Communion, alternating it with Tou Dipnou Sou Tou Mistikou.

This a cappella work for mixed choir, in English, was written for the consecration of the Annunciation Church, Rochester, NY in 1969.

George Gallos edited, paraphrased and translated the text. It is original music composed in the 2nd plagal mode, of medium difficulty.

ST. ANTHONY’S GREEK ORTHODOX MONASTERY
Apolytikia and Kontakia for the Entire Year
This work is 1,500 pages in length. It is the only publication in English that has music for every apolytikion of every day of the year. It is a pan-orthodox book, because it contains apolytikia not only of the Greek saints, but also many saints from Slavic countries, as well as Orthodox saints of Western Europe. It also includes the apolytikia for contemporary saints. Furthermore, it is the first time that apolytikia have been composed in English in complete adherence to the rules of Byzantine music composition, which ensure that the melodies will be a perfect match for their corresponding texts. The book is available in both Western and Byzantine notation, and may be downloaded for free at: http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Menaion.htm

The Divine Liturgies as Chanted on the Holy Mountain
Byzantine Music in Western Notation in English and Greek
A collection of more than 3,000 pages of Byzantine music in both Western and Byzantine notation in the style of chanting used on the Holy Mountain. The scope of this project covers the liturgies of St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, St. James, and the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, as well as many doxologies and all hymns for Vespers. The words of the hymns are provided in Elizabethan English, Modern English, and Greek. Interactive CD-ROM is available. To view, hear, and print this music for free, go to: http://www.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Index.html

This book contains more than 700 pages of music in English in the style of chanting done on the Holy Mountain. The bulk of this book is comprised of all the troparia of Saturday Vespers in all eight modes, in both long and brief versions.

The unique achievement of this book is that it is the first publication in the English language to conform completely to the formulaic rules of Byzantine chant: that is, the same principles that the masters of Byzantine chant used to compose melodies in Greek were applied to the English texts. The book is available in both Western and Byzantine notation, and may be downloaded for free at: http://ww.stanthonysmonastery.org/music/Vespers.htm

Authentic Byzantine melodies, provided by Metropolitan Maximos, are included; however, these translations can be sung easily with any of the traditional melodies and musical arrangements.

The Liturgical Hymns of Christmas
These include the Apolitikion (I Yennesi Sou), the two Kontakia, the Megalinarion, and the Communion Psalm (Litrosin) with antiphons, all in Greek and English. The Apolytikion and Kontakia match the syllabic and accent configuration of the Greek text, and can be sung with any arrangement that works with the Greek text. The Megalinarion and Communion Psalm have slightly altered melodic lines to accommodate the texts, as does the Trisagion Hymn (Osi is Christon). All settings are written in chant with ison.

The Lord’s Prayer
This “Our Father,” originally written in Church Slavonic by N. Kedrov, has been adapted for both King James English and Greek for 4-part mixed voices.

The Sunday Resurrection Apolytikia
Set with chant lines and isons in the eight modes, in side-by-side Greek and English.

Cherubic Hymn and Doxology
Original and effective concert settings of the Great Doxology and Hymn of the Cherubim followed by the respective hierarchical responses and completion litany for four-part mixed choir.
