Updates from the Department of Liturgical Music

Post-Gospel Stichera

In the Post-Gospel Stichera at Matins, the “Glory… Through the prayers…” etc. is always sung in Tone 2 according to OCA practice. “Have mercy on me, O God…” which follows, is almost always sung in Tone 6. New music posted for the Nativity of the Theotokos reflects this correction, as well as a translational correction in the first two verses: “…blot out the multitude of our transgressions.” Music for Matins for other feasts, when posted, will also reflect both these corrections.
