The doxastikon "Eksedysan me" is one of the most popular and beloved pieces of the Church year. The most widespread composition is by Konstantinos Pringos and represents a modification of a piece by Nikolaos Protopsaltis of Smyrna (according to musicologist I. Arvanitis). According to Angelos Boudouris, ex-First Domestichos of the Great Church, Nikolaos' innovatory compositions were banned in the Patriarchal church. Pringos himself never made a secret that such pieces of his were not meant to be chanted at the Patriarchal cathedral of St. George. Despite the overhelming popularity of Pringos' piece among various chanting schools (as attested by sound examples below), the Patriarchal tradition as expressed by current Archon Protopsaltis Leonidas Asteris still shows preference of classical lines.
