I checked the Apocalypse of Zephaniah, which ironically only exists in Coptic. There is no menti…
Tarh al falaa is the name of the exposition for Kiahk because it starts out, "The Lord of the vineyard called servants saying, "Give them their wages..." It is an expansion of Matthew 20. The last line of the commentary is the part that is sung. "Pi…

Very true jydeacon,
Orthodox teachings don't agree with what's mentioned in those melodies following taodokeya parts "intercede for us on judgment day". There is no such a …
Fr Peter, I revert to your knowledge of these events. I just couldn't find any references to John of Damascus direct condemnation to Peter the Fuller. But you gave good quotes and references.
I agree that Canon 81 of the Council of Trullo condemns …

John of Damascus (if memory serves me correctly) did not accuse Peter the Fuller of the additions. He wrote a treaty (found in the Ante Nicene Fathers Ency…
Don't forget the academic studies done on Coptic music.
The first major historical ethnomusicological study was done by John Gillispe in 1976. It's on the Library of Congress site.

Here is a summary.
The Non-Chalcedonian history:

Can we talk about the refrain for a moment?
The whole refrain is below.
Refrain:
Your love embraced me ,
O pride of nations,
Moses saw you O Mary,
Surprise and marvel.
And the lamps are bright,
With golden crosses,
O Mary Moses’ dome
O Aaron’s ce…

I believe the reason we celebrate the feast of Archangel Michael is because he performed a miracle for Aristopolos and Theopisti on Hator 12. He also did a miracle for another person (I forget the name) and it also fell on the 12th of another Coptic…

No, it's not a mistake but it seems like a mistake and I guess that's why some cantors change [coptic]nivycic tyrou[/coptic] to [coptic]]vucic tyrc[/coptic].
