Last week, a package of service books and other materials for the new Divine Liturgy text and music was mailed to each parish in the Byzantine Catholic Metropolitan Archeparchy of Pittsburgh. This package included a Cantor's Companion prepared by the Intereparchial Music Commission, and a set of 7 compact discs containing the music in the new Divine Liturgies book.

The Cantor's Companion is available online at

http://metropolitancantorinstitute.org/servicebooks/CantorsCompanion.pdf

The new people's book will be placed online in PDF format once our clergy have had an opportunity to obtain their parishes' copies of the new books from each chancery.

The recordings of the new music settings can be found online at

http://metropolitancantorinstitute.org/RecordedMusic

along with music for Vespers and Matins, and recordings in Church Slavonic.

Yours in Christ,
Jeff Mierzejewski

Jeff,

I thought the new Peoples Books will not contain any Church Slavonic? Is the Church Slavonic only available for the cantor edition?

Dear Ung-Certez,

"The recordings of the new music settings can be found online at <location>, along with music for Vespers and Matins, and recordings in Church Slavonic." The page I pointed to had recordings in English (from the new books, plus other materials), and also a fair-sized collection of prostopinije recorded in Europe in Slavonic.

But Professor Thompson and I were discussing (just yesterday) the fact that some parishes could really use a bilingual edition of the ordinary parts of the Divine Liturgy, possibly with some of the common Church Slavonic musical settings, and whether the Cantor Institute might be able to prepare something in the near term.

Yours in Christ,
Jeff Mierzejewski
