I'm looking for links for the ACROD's Prostopinije text and musical links. I'm well fimiliar with their useage, but several "new" converts wink to the ACROD want to have access to their Prostopinije before they attend their first services in their new juridiction.

Can the new converts buy the ACROD pew book from the ACROD site or from Christ the Savior bookstore? Maybe Orthodox Pyrohy might know this?

Orthodox Pyrohy,

Are you in the OCA or the ACROD now?

I would guess you could get a pewbook at Christ the Saviour Seminary Bookstore, a quick check and the number is 814.539.0116.
Why not ask the priest at the parish if you can borrow a pew book?

I was just wondering if the ACROD had a pdf file online that has both text and music so those new communicants can download it.

Didn't Professor Thompson have something to do with their music and pew book?

St. Michael's is the best source I've seen. The text of the liturgy is online if you wanted that. http://aggreen.net/liturgics/C-R_Div_Lit.html

You can get the pew book and the "Come to Me" prayer book through the seminary or Eastern Christian publications or your local parish. The pew book credits Msgr. William Levkulic in the front as one of the sources for the text.

In our parish we have both cantors and a choir. What the choir uses I don't believe was put out by the diocese and may have been pulled from various sources. I asked someone who sings recently what the text is they use and he said it has probably been in the parish for over 30 years and nobody really knows what the source is.

Almost everything we do is in English, but Slavonic is used here and there on a regular basis and for special services a fair amount can be used.

What does Michael Thompson have to do with the original post.
Why not private message him and ask him.

Yes Mike Duke et al. indeed provide a wonderful resource on St. Michael's website. However if they are not familiar with ACROD music it may be hard to pick out what is standard issue pew book material from that site, since it provides a great wealth of many different versions for many different pieces.

Thank you for the website. I am somewhat familiar with all the Russian church music listed there. I have a number of CD's i collected over the years.

According to the diocesan web site, there are two books you can order aside from the pew book.

Plain Chant Christmas and Theophany Eve
Divine Liturgy In Plain Chant Book

Ed,
It is Carpatho-Rusyn chant not Russian music. Just for clarification. Yes that is the neat thing about our music, it is catchy and easy to remember.

Although it isn't uncommon AFAIK for Rusyn parishes to incorporate some Russian music. We do to some extent in addition to Prostopinije.

Just to further muddy the waters!

AMM, trust me I am fully aware! Very aware. If a parish came in from the (Russian) Orthodox Church of America into the ACROD and had a previous tradition of choral singing, well, the choral singing wasn't stopped. It is suggested that a parish use prostopinje for troparia, canons, kondaks, etc... but it is ok for them to use say Russian four part for the Ize or a Byzantine piece for the Svatjy Boze.
