      Thanks for your kind words man, but do tell me if I have mistranslated anything, I like making Christian chants but I do have a tendency to mistranslate some of them 😅
      Thanks though.

    This was performed by two seminary students as a joke. It's the only song like this in existence that I know of, there are a couple different videos of it on UA-cam, the original and with echos added to make it sound like it is in a church. And there is a variant performance of it recorded by an Orthodox church in West Virginia, as part of a Christmas concert they recently did. I hope this becomes a whole new genre, it's so fantastic.

      I don't think this was a joke. There are quite a few people in the American Church (OCA) that have been working slowly on developing uniquely American chant tones, and I imagine this was one of those efforts.

    This is actually used liturgically at Saint John of the Ladder in SC.
    Here it is in a concert of theirs. Inspired by the seminarians, the melody is authentic. All glory to God as we develop ourselves for His Holy Name!
