Christ is risen!
I recently finished transcribing (into Western notation) Hieromonk Gregorios Simonopetritis's triple meter arrangement of Psalm 135 (Exomologeisthe to Kyrio), which is attached to this message. I was trying to strike a balance between transcribing what I heard on the recording (from their Αγνή Παρθένε CD; essentially conists of half and quarter notes) and the English version I have from Papa Ephraim and Fr. Seraphim Dedes (more eighth notes, etc).
Any suggestions or corrections would be appreciated, from people who have access to the Psalterion Terpnon and could point out errors in ison, etc (I don't have a copy) or people with good musical ears that can point out errors in my transcription (misplaced notes, etc). Or errors in the spelling and punctuation of my Greek. Or just comments in general, since most people here on Psaltologion are trained psaltis, with the exception of myself! (Almost no practical knowledge of Byzantine chant.)
So, any comments, suggestions, corrections, etc: please, anything and everything is appreciated!
