We Christians can pray for you but only God can choose to heal you. We don't give "healing vibes" God does the miracles. There are no such things as healing vibes (vibrations). That's new age nonsense.
I just found this video. AMAZING!!!! I've never heard of Kassia. I will do research on her. These hymns are beautiful. I will be listening to them often.
OUI C'EST DU GREC . DES CHANTS MEDIEVAUX . MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR CETTE VIDEO HABITEE PAR LE VERBE DIVIN ET UNE FEMME COMPOSITRICE ΄ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΠΑΝΕΜΟΡΟΙ ΥΜΝΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ , ΒΟΗΘΕΙΑ ΜΑς , ΘΕΕ ΜΟΥ ΕΛΕΗΣΟΝ ΗΜΑς
very nice, thanks for posting ! I read to my surprise among the vocalists Elisabeth Pawelke! She was long ago with the modern-medieval group Faun. I think she left to become a true medieval music performer, and am glad to see she did!
These are beautiful and devoted cover versions of divinely inspired ancient songs. Especially when it comes to spiritual chanting the motivation of the singers are most important. I'm sure Kassia would have liked this interpretation.. 😊❤❤❤
This is just wonderful, thank you! Back in the 90s when I was a homebrewer, I'd often listen to Gregorian chants to get myself into the proper mindset for the brew session. This reminds me of that music and those times so much. Salud! 🍺
¡Preciosa música y voces!! El imperio Bizantino, ha hecho un gran aporte a la cultura y el arte,que no ha sido reinvidicado en su justa medida. 👏👏👏🇦🇷❤️
This is so amazingly sung. The pieces are perfect yet perfectly unpredictable. Some of the most beautiful and haunting melodies I have ever heard. It reminds me a little of some Anonymous 4 but the musical structures are more complex. I love the exquisite pedal tone vocal drones.
Thank you! I only could hear medieval songs sung by women, don't know why... This fill up my soul with a feminine energy that heals so much.... ❤ this is pure magic
I find this interpretation so beautiful even if maybe it isn't quite accurate. I don't know because I'm not an expert but I think the sound is very pleasant. It's like if nuns in the times of Hildegard would try to sing the old byzantine hymns in the "newer" occidental style. Wonderful!
That is actually a very apt description. Whoever interpreted Kassiani's compositions has used the latin modes instead of the greek ones, introduced an obvious anachronism (polyphony), seems to have absolutely no idea about oriental vocal technique and embouchure, and uses musical instruments! which to this day is unthinkable in most of the orthodox churches and definitely during Kassiani's time.
To my Greek Orthodox ears it is like what pineapple in pizzas looks like for Italians!! Very interesting nevertheless ( NO pun intended and THANKS A LOT for sharing!)
@Poodle_Gun just hop into my Tardis. How could anyone produce evidence for that? (apart from the fact that polyphony in general and musical instruments in church are out of the question for 9th c. Constantinople) We similarly don't have any evidence that gregorian chant or Hildegard von Bingen's compositions (or Jaufre Rudel's, for that matter) sound the way they are performed today. It's just based on what Solesmes and classical musicians in the 19th c. (not really a ringing endorsement for historical accuracy) thought what medieval music sounded like - that's what happens when you let a tradition wither. In contrast, the oriental plainchant tradition and its neumatic system (whose earliest form was developed during Kassiani's day) is very much alive and in wide use, even if it is constricted by the extreme conservatism of the orthodox church. I've sung some of Kassiani's works myself over the years (including, of course, the Troparion), it appears that whoever did the research for this album used those same sources we are using, but interpreted the neums in the western way and used the western vocal techniques and motifs. So, if anyone would think that this is what music sounded like in Constantinople at the time, what happened in between? A few later centuries and Jaufre Rudel's compositions sound "arabic", or, at least, are performed that way today. Do you think that the music of the Khalifate came out of thin air? It was just a continuation of the Graecoroman and Syriac/Aramaic musical traditions of the region - with emphasis on the Greek; arab musical theory built on the ancient Greek works, based on the knowledge preserved in the Roman territories the Khalifate took over. John Damascene, maybe the most important poet and composer of the time, was a minister of the Khalifate before becoming a monk. So, if we believe that the arab musical tradition hasn't significantly changed in the past millennium, why think that for the musical tradition of eastern plainchant? People tend to point to the similarities with ottoman music, and don't realise that the influence was more the other way around. The ottoman court, while initially Persian influenced, was dominated by Greek and Armenian musicians since at least the 18th century. This led to the Turkish makamat being today the only other system (that I know of) to use the Greek division of the pitch relations instead of the arabopersian ones (e.g. the Segâh tone is slightly higher in Greek and Turkish music than in the Arabic and Persian traditions), and influenced both vocal and instrumental technique. Ottoman sanat singing is basically "byzantine" chant, with added nasal overtones from the tradition of quranic recitation. Any hafiz can with 6-12 months studying the neums and repertoire (and getting rid of the nasal overtones) take easily over as lead left cantor in any orthodox church.
@Poodle_GunWhy do you insist on demonstrating your ignorance? Walk into pretty much any Greek Orthodox Church in your city and you’ll hear Byzantine chant as it is supposed to sound and has continued to sound for over a thousand years. This video isn’t _not_ that.
Excellent! Superior presentation of proof that voice alone is a fierce-powerful, instrument that can stand alone and even outperform any other intruments humans can design
cause she might never existed..that is not christian orthodox sound-tone ,so many psalts in orthodox history but never heard of her. that"s a song (NOT chant )in this video, is in european tone-catholicism.not orthodox.! huge difference..
@@apollon755 Well what you are saying "ain't" true. Propaganda...Geesh. I only hope the majority of people study the history of the women's movement's over so may years.
@@apollon755 Byzantine Chant post 1453 started to incur significant Turkish, Persian, and Arabic influences. It is quite probable that heavy uses "Arabic sounding" melismas commonly associated with Byzantine Chants developed after 1453 and beforehand in Orthodox lands under Islamic rule. There is absolutely nothing with with incorporating cultural aesthetics of Islamic cultures into Byzantine Chant; in fact, it is a naturally expectable result of different cultures being neighbours and interacting with each other. It is highly probable that Medieval Byzantine Chants actually sounded something more similar to Gregorian Chants before 1453.
I recommend this music for prayer. It can be enjoyed on its own merit, but it is in prayer that it finds its deeper fulfillment and its profound mystical power is unleashed. Cheers! God bless.
Listening to this really creates blessings and grace for all of creation, the Angels are carrying me up to Jesus with the most holy smoothness and eternal love.
I'm so confused by this... If interprented without any context, it's lovely work done by clearly talented musicians, but definitely not what it's 'selling' itself as. These are definitely not byzantine hymns of the 9th century, they sound more like hymns that stem vaguely from the italian-germanic renaissance and baroque period. I don't understand the need to, in a sense, 'westernify' byzantine chant instead of preserving the original compositions, especially when it comes to presenting the works of a woman who is still claimed as one of the best liturgical composers of eastern orthodox christianity. Coming to that i have no idea why there's a need to stress that she's the first female composer of the 'christian occident' since that's a flat out lie, she belonged and still belongs to the cultural sphere of the 'christian orient' - if you wanna call it that. The experience is about as jarring as if someone made a video with the title *Misere mei - One of the most beautiful chants of Catholicism*, in which the original composition is disgarded and the lyrics are re-interprented to be sung in a Vedic chant style. As much as wonderful artistry has gone into producing this, the result itself is ultimately confusing and misleading.
You’ve summed up my thoughts perfectly; you’re absolutely correct. Complete ignorance on the part of this channel-though I’m sure they mean well. The “Occident”, for that matter, has always tended to denigrate and appropriate from the Christian “Orient” anyways, so it’s not surprising that (whether intentionally or unintentionally) that same tendency is displayed here.
Having studied the so called "byzantine" chant (it's actually just the traditional chant of the eastern churches - mostly used in the Greek, Arabic and Romanian speaking world nowadays) extensively, I couldn't agree more. I do indeed hear echo's of Kassiani's compositions in this recording, but they are very vague. It's very nice music, but it is only based on Kassiani and definitely not how it would have been performed at the time. For that, and given the extreme conservatism of the orthodox church, you'll get a much more accurate rendition by any recording of Τροπάριο Κασσιανής, even if it's just by a few grannies in some remote village.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Mirko. Lots of critical comments, but since I'm not any kind of scholar I just enjoyed the beautiful singing. It was peaceful and soothing to the heart.
you mean the Michael Popp from Qntal or Helium Vola? 😉 I agree with you, his passion for electronics on the other hand brought some really delightful music to life, such as Monsieur's Departure, a sung poem written by Queen Elizabeth I in 1582, or "Nachtblume", a poem from Joseph Eichendorff. Its a different style, more for the younger audience like they are at the WGT in Leipzig^^ greatings from a fan 🤗👋
Я не специалист, но я православный русский и мы привыкли совершенно к другому звучанию. Хотя могу предположить, что это возможно ближе к румынской или болгарской культуре. Они тоже наследники православной Византии. 😊
Нет, чётко романское звучание. Такое могло быть только у крестоносцев на Византийской территории. Наша восточная музыкальная традиция слишком обширна и проработанна сама по себе. Результат очень красивый, но аутентичности тут, конечно, ноль. Так пели в какой-нибудь из церквей... не знаю, Эльзаса какого-нибудь.
the words, transcribed by Saint Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church »At Bridegroom Orthros (Matins) on Great and Holy Tuesday evening, the Church chants the following beautiful and inspiring hymn written by Saint Kassiani: "O Lord, the woman who had fallen into many sins, perceiving Thy Divinity, fulfilled the part of a myrrh-bearer; and with lamentations she brought sweet-smelling oil of myrrh to Thee before Thy burial. 'Woe is me,' she said, 'for night surrounds me, dark and moonless, and stings my lustful passion with the love of sin. Accept the fountain of my tears, O Thou Who drawest down from the clouds the waters of the sea. Incline to the groanings of my heart, O Thou Who in Thine ineffable self-emptying hast bowed down the heavens. I shall kiss Thy Most Pure feet and wipe them with the hairs of my head, those feet whose sound Eve heard at dusk in Paradise and hid herself for fear. Who can search out the multitude of my sins and the abyss of Thy judgments, O Savior of my soul? Despise me not, Thine handmaiden, for Thou hast mercy without measure."

the words, transcribed by Saint Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church »At Bridegroom Orthros (Matins) on Great and Holy Tuesday evening, the Church chants the following beautiful and inspiring hymn written by Saint Kassiani:
"O Lord, the woman who had fallen into many sins, perceiving Thy Divinity, fulfilled the part of a myrrh-bearer; and with lamentations she brought sweet-smelling oil of myrrh to Thee before Thy burial. 'Woe is me,' she said, 'for night surrounds me, dark and moonless, and stings my lustful passion with the love of sin. Accept the fountain of my tears, O Thou Who drawest down from the clouds the waters of the sea. Incline to the groanings of my heart, O Thou Who in Thine ineffable self-emptying hast bowed down the heavens. I shall kiss Thy Most Pure feet and wipe them with the hairs of my head, those feet whose sound Eve heard at dusk in Paradise and hid herself for fear. Who can search out the multitude of my sins and the abyss of Thy judgments, O Savior of my soul? Despise me not, Thine handmaiden, for Thou hast mercy without measure."
