Good morning, everyone,
I hope this Nativity Fast finds you all well. In this topic, I want to compile a list of all available music in Byzantine notation for the Royal Hours of Christmas. Hopefully one of these days we will have a complete set.
First of all, there is the work done by brother Anthony from St. Tikhon's Monastery.
Doxastikon - 1st Hour
Doxastikon - 3rd Hour
Doxastikon - 6th Hour
Second, attached to this message is a score for the first two idiomela of the First Hour, composed by my friend and fellow student John Michael Boyer.
Finally, I have been working over the past few days on some drafts of the remaining idiomela - in other words, whatever has not been composed by Brother Anthony and John M. Boyer. I am attaching to this post some drafts for the idiomela of the Third Hour. I would appreciate any comments/corrections.
I have the idiomela for the 6th Hour completed - I just need to write them out nicely and scan them. God willing, I will write the idiomela for the 9th Hour sometime today and have them posted before tomorrow. (I assume most people are celebrating the Royal Hours tomorrow morning?)
EDIT #1: I have attached music for the idiomela (except for the doxastikon) for the 6th Hour.
Edit #2: I have attached music for the idiomela (except for the doxastikon) for the 9th Hour.
Edit #3: I have done an adaptation of the First Hour Doxastikon, based on the work of Anthony, but with some account taken for the settings of Petros the Peloponnesian (particularly the ending) as well as Konstandinos Pringos.
Edit #4: I have written an adaptation of the 9th Hour Doxastikon - a combination of new and old sticheraric theseis - by Stephanos Lambadarios. Corrections are appreciated! There are most likely several typos.
Καλή δύναμη,
Gabriel
