Dear Joe,
I've recognised this myself, when looking at your liturgical texts and how they are to be sung. There are quite a number of similarities, it seems, between the Byzantine and Syrian rites, as far as liturgics go. Makes me feel sometimes like the Churches are almost the same thing...well, except for that little matter about Chalcedon. :p

Dear Cantor and Mentor,
I was reflecting on your point and I don't know to what extent it can be applied to the Byzantine canons.
Without "tooting my own horn," I will say that I do the daily Canons of the Octoechos and, after a while, one does indeed see how they reflect the original Biblical Canon, especially toward the end (the Biblical Odes are done on Mount Athos and Mount Sinai and a few other places).

Alex,
Yes. After praying the Canon at Matins for a while one can begin to see between the lines. They may not be the exact verses from the OT canticle, but the theme is still there.
My favorite is the first Ode, which deals with the Crossing of the Red Sea.
Joe

Dear Cantor and Mentor,
The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord make His Face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you!
The Lord lift up His Countenance upon you and grant you peace!
Shalom!
Alex

Where can one find this/these Canon(s) online, if at all? I'd like to see for myself what you guys are talking about and experiencing as you pray...sounds interesting.
