An interview with Fr. Panteleimon Papadopoulos of the Archdiocesan School of Byzantine Music, our own beloved Dr. Grammenos Karanos, Assistant Professor of Byzantine Music at Hellenic College/Holy Cross, and Dr. Vicki Pappas, former president of the National Forum. This interview was filmed during the summer of 2013.
Music In The Orthodox Church (Discovering Orthodox Christianity)
From the YouTube video "about" section:
Discussion Questions:
1. What are the distinctive qualities of Byzantine chant and music?
2. How does the music of the Orthodox Church fit into the life of the Church?
3. What are the different tones in Byzantine chant?
4. Do the hymns and responses constitute prayers or are they simply responses to the priest or officiating bishop?
5. Should the faithful simply listen or join in with the cantor or choir?
6. Is the music of the Church today the same as it was centuries ago or has it evolved?
7. How can I learn to participate if I don't know Byzantine music?
8. What is the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians?
I'm sure this will prove interesting and helpful to many.
