    Critiques

    Last Christmas, my wife got me a midi synthesizer and since then, I've been hooked. I have been a musician my whole life but have never delved into this side of the art form. Every time I ask others for opinions on what they think of my music, they either don't respond or try and sell me...

    The old stuff, the good stuff

    It's been ages since I've posted. But here's something I'd love to share. This is a hymn I recently recorded with visual art. Nothing like new arrangements of old hymns.

    The Syriac Hymn Haw Nurone as a Confession of Eucharistic Faith

    I believe and confess, as Coptic priests proclaim in the liturgy after the Epiklesis, that in a properly conducted sacramental liturgy, that the bread on the Paten or Diskos consecrated by the presbyter or bishop truly becomes the actual body of Christ, and likewise the wine in the Chalice truly...

    Is the hymn "I Gave My Life For Thee" inaccurate?

    The hymn I Gave My Life For Thee has the following verse (emphasis added): My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne I left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone It appears to present the speaker, Jesus, as having a "glory-circled throne" that He left when He came to this...

    Unceasing Worship

    The focus of this blog is the description of prayer, mystical theology, liturgy, and liturgical beauty, which is to say, the beauty of how we worship our Lord, and the expressions of that worship, whether through ritual, sacred music, iconography and other artwork, and architecture.

    Something that we all share, maybe? "Hymn of the Doxology"

    One of the 'issues' of being Oriental Orthodox is that you cannot always tell how what you are doing connects with what others are doing, even in the communion, let alone outside of it. By that, I mean (for instance) how the 'Coptic' version (which is entirely in Greek) of the hymn "O Monogenes...

    A Lutheran Hymnal Project

    I am a confessional Lutheran from the U.K. (ELCE which is strongly connected with LCMS) and have been for about two years now. Because my Christian life has been spent for the bulk of time in the charismatic churches, through Calvary Chapel and then the Reformed Baptist church; I personally...

    What unites (most) traditional churches (EO, OO, RC) together, musicologically: The Octoechos

    Being a member of one of the only two traditional churches which does not use the octoechos/8 mode system common to traditional Christian liturgical singing (the other church being that of the Orthodox Tewahedo Ethiopians and Eritreans who have their own Zema system credited to St. Yared in the...

    What's Wrong with Modern Christian Music?

    I hear it too often these days, but no one has taken their time to respond with a legit argument. Why is modern Christian music so bad? Of course there are plenty of bad songs that misrepresent the gospel, and Jesus, and Christianity as a whole, but don't throw out the baby with the bath water...

    Sound problems in Church

    My daughter was baptised this previous Sunday. During the service, they had a special singer who came in to sing three hyms. His first was beautiful, bringing my wife to tears. His second, after the first line, it suddenly became a chipmunk voice. He tried to soldier on for a line or two, but...
