Orthodox Christmas Hymn for the Mother of God
From the 2nd Canon of the Nativity, 9th Ode.
This is written for the fantastic St. Joseph the Betrothed choir in Houston, TX.
Composed for a sextet, this is the most challenging piece I have worked on yet, but having been in love with the text of the 2nd Canon for years now, it was an honor and joy to arrange.
Featuring Dmitry Allemanov's FAMOUS 1st Canon and my 2nd Canon written to accompany it, the entire work can be found on all major streaming services.
Thank you to the parish of St. Joseph the Betrothed for this opportunity, for their amazing and hard-working choir, and for my Patrons who continue to be the best supporters ever and make my work possible.
All Glory to God.

The harmony is the same as in that (Assyrian?) Eastern Christian hymn that was sung for Pope Francis that went viral a few years ago.
The harmonies are. of the Holy Spirit
Nazo, this is incredible. I’ve heard this many times and sing this to myself. Thank God for this beautiful creation
God bless 🙌. The Holy spirit is helping me through your Luxari album.
@@kehindeomotola3948 Thank you. May we all be guided so that the Truth increases and we decrease. Much love from your sinful yet striving brother.

Amen
amazing ☦
Orthodox Church has been controlled by KGB( and its former) since 1920s, and Orthodox Churches in Shanghai and Paris were places to trap and get White Russians dissidents. The most famous one was Qiaqin Yu who was a Russian Communist member instead of Chinese Communist member even he was a Chinese. This so called Ancient Faith Mandarin Choir must have the same background.
It's nice, i guess, but i can't really love it. It sounds too much like traditional hymns, it doesn't have that raw edge or eastern flavor that makes Orthodox music special to me. Although i a thousand percent prefer traditional hymns to "praise music" or Christian Rock 🤢 . I guess there are two ways to approach things: you can either dress Orthodoxy up in familiar clothes so it seems more like the churches people are familiar with, so they aren't scared away, and maybe that will help appeal to the type who are not happy with the "progressive" ways a lot of churches are moving, who miss the old hymn singing and the divine atmosphere of the sanctuary, instead of a conference hall and a light show. Or you can lean into the exotic and different aspect of Orthodoxy which appeals to people who like how it hearkens back to an older tradition and the early days of the church, and probably a number or people who were raised with a negative concept of Christian churches in general, but who might be more open to something that seems...i guess "more diverse" might be a good way to put it? It will depend on the specific person, but i can imagine a fair number or young people who would think that seems more appealing. I think i mostly fall into the second category. But i guess one good thing about Orthodox churches is that they are free to do it however they want, as long as they are within the boundaries set by the patriarchs.
Orthodoxy has always used stylistic elements from the cultures it evangelizes
ahh, i love how it splits into five parts when Gabriel speaks <3 this is a beautiful arrangement
❤️❤️❤️❤️
congratulation on your work and thank you for making this very well presented video to share with us
Magnifique. Je me demande s'il existe une version du Agni Parthene en chinois. Magnificent. I wonder if there is a version of the Agni Parthenes in Chinese.
@@ortodoxiaenoccitan2029 that is a wonderful idea. I'll talk to the team about making an arrangement
Where can I find sheet music for this? If anyone can provide it that would be amazing, thank you 🙏☦️❤️
@@nickkerinklio8239 the score is going through some edits. It will be on my website soon. Or you can message me through my website and I'll send it to you

It is: EVER-BLESSED AND ALL-IMMACULATE ( PAN- AMOMOS)
Lovely
Unreal how beautiful this is. Not tremendously grandiose or complicated, but so simple and pure. Much like the beatitudes.
Awesome thank you !
Glory to God. ☦
Needs a dash of znamenny😍
Beautiful nonetheless
It is truly meet to bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God. More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word. True Theotokos we magnify you!
That was so encouraging!
Thank you all for your kind words. This track has been mixed and mastered and will be coming to all major music streaming services this Sunday. All glory to God. And thank you to my Patrons at Patreon.com/nazo for making this possible.

wow
Beautiful ❤
Love from your blood and bone in England!
Beautiful!
Very nice❤
Please release this on Spotify! Beautiful!
Wow, is this an original melody?
I believe this was an original arrangement, but it was inspired by 17th century American folk music.
Yes, my melody, inspired by the music compiled in the 1867 Anthology, "Slave Songs of the United States" published by Dover.
Will this be put on Spotify?
Coming out this Sunday!
This is a treasure 🕊
This is so beautiful!
It sounds just like your Hymn of Kassiane piece! Very sober
Absolutely beautiful! Glory to God ☦
I am an English catechumen for the Greek church, but whenever I see anything anglo-orthodox my heart is filled to completion.
You might enjoy knowing that Western Rite Orthodoxy is a thing. St. Patrick's Orthodox Church has quite a choir.
THis actually comes from a Western Rite Orthodox Parish! CHeck out the Western RIte!
I'm too
