The SelfRuled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America DEPARTMENT OF SACRED MUSIC Paul Jabara, Chairman guiding chanters, choirs and congregations to musical excellence in orship for glory of God..antiochian.org/music December 17, 2015 The holy Prophet Daniel and Three Children: Ananias, Azarias and Misael Greetings to you all in Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! When I as appointed chairman of Sacred Music Department in February, 2006, I sa that e had already typeset s Byzantine Vespers Proect as he originally rote it. Some of accenting of music as incorrect, but ison as added, and e had a much cleaner copy of it all. I n began to proof and correct his Byzantine Matins Proect, already typeset by +Michael Kargatis, ith opportunity to make sure barring and accenting of music and ison ere done properly, and that text as according to approved text from The Divine Prayers Services by Nassar. This Proect as completed and approved for use in 2010. The next Proect our department took on as Kazan s Menaion, music for many of Feast Days of Saints and 9 fixed Maor Feast Days of Orthodox Church celebrated throughout year, since e discovered back n that it as out of print. This has been a 5 year proect, no completed at end of 2015. The music presented here in each of 12 months of Menaion is basically original music ritten by and Ray George, of blessed memory, but also corrected in same manner as Matins. In this updated, typeset edition of Menaion, e have corrected barring and accenting of music, corrected text according to Nassar, added various rubrics and instructions for services according to Typikon, added names of special melodies used for various stichera in Vespers and Matins, and added ison to complete style of Byzantine chant. The music presented here is to be used in conunction ith Kazan s Vespers and Matins Proect, as ell as Nassar. I am eternally grateful to Deborah Abraham for doing initial typesetting of Menaion back in 2007; to Michael Farro and Emily Loe for ir role in proofing final editions of each month; to Chadi Karam for helping me along ay ith correct ison; and to Paul Jabara, our current chairman, for alloing me to finish this Proect. May God continue to bless you all as e sing His praises throughout year, glorify His holy Name, honor His Saints and celebrate Feast Days of Holy Orthodox Church. Yours in Christ, Christopher Holey
