Colin-

The above is an excellent recording.

The following website might be helpful to you as well:
http://www.kelfar.net/orthodoxiaradio/ArabicChant/arabicchant.html

The Antiochian seminary in Balamand publishes several CDs, available through Liturgica.com. One of them is an recording of the Paraklesis. One edition I have (not the one available through liturgica) has a book outlining the service which accompanies it. It's probably available directly from the Seminary; I'd recommend checking it out.

Well, I heard the whole recording once again. The patriarch in question is the regretted Patriarch Maximos V Hakim of thrice-blessed memory.

By the way, how do they say "John Chrystosom" in Arabic?

John Chrysostom's name when translated into English means 'John the Golden-mouthed'. Arabic translates the Greek, and so we say: "yuHanna el-dhahabi el-fam" (يوحنّا الذهبيّ الفم).

Oh wonderful... Anyways, I just watched a video of the Good Friday Lamentations being chanted by the priests of the Balamand Monastery during the Good Friday celebrations. It was sung by Fr. Jacques Khalil. Is there an English text and an accompanying romanized Arabic text with it? Its in my head and I can't get it out.

English version of the music is available on the Melkite GMA web site (http://www.melkites.org), at least a sample of a couple of the chants. You can buy the complete CD from there as well, I believe.

You can find the words to the songs of Fairuz' CD here: http://www.6arabsongs.net/Lebanon/fairouz/good_friday/ . These are largely the hymns we chant on the evening of Great and Holy Thursday and Friday.

Apart from a transliterated version of Fairuz' songs, I doubt you'll find any transliterated texts around.

In our eparchy, all our texts are either in Greek (using the Greek alphabet), Arabic (in Arabic script), or in English.
