The texts of the propers sung at Vespers (stichera on “Lord I call,” Litya, Aposticha, Troparia and Kontakia that change daily according to either the day of the week or particular day of the month). Texts are “pointed” to be sung according to the tonal patterns of the Common Chant (L'vov-Bakhmetev Obikhod, 1869 edition). Texts are formatted in MS Word.
Index of liturgical music for daily worship during the year.
This section includes outlines of the fixed order of services (Vespers initially, with other services planned to be added later) with liturgical and rubrical comments on the specific parts of the services. Tables with information about the variable portions of each service are included with an additional section on the use of the Psalter in Orthodox worship. An alphabetical index of liturgical terms and references completes this section. This section will be especially useful not only to pastors, choir directors, and church readers but to all those who are interested in learning more about the structure and the liturgical components of our church services.
