  • Tutorial for Learning the Tones
  • Webinars for Church Musicians: Lent and Pascha
  • Liturgical Music Chatroom Transcripts

In addition to translations from the Department of Liturgical Music and Translations, liturgical texts for these services represent modified versions of translations provided by Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery, Otego, NY and St. Tikhon’s Monastery, South Canaan, PA. The Department of Liturgical Music and Translations of the Orthodox Church in America expresses its gratitude to Holy Myrrhbearers Monastery and St. Tikhon’s Monastery and to those translators whose work has been consulted at times in the course of reviewing and modifying these texts to their present form: Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware), Archimandrite Ephrem (Lash), Bishop Benedict (Churchill), Monk Joseph (Isaac Lambertsen), St. Vladimir’s Seminary, and Holy Transfiguration Monastery, among others.
