Troparia of the Resurrection (Tones 1-8)

[@giessel]

My husband and I are new to Orthodoxy. We just joined the choir and will be baptized in the church this December. We've visited 7 Russian/antiochian Orthodox churches this last year while traveling. The church has been growing at each parish. Praise God.

[@Jordan-hz1wr]

I grew up Baptist... I'm studying the orthodox faith... I have no idea what this is, but I love it!

Was looking for this. Thank you!

[@odetafecani1614]

Thank you for this video. I am trying to learn the Orthodox system of tones so that I can help with my church choir and this is a helpful supplement 😊

[@moon-cyclist4565]

Thank you thank you for posting this! I'm new to Orthodox Christianity but I love hearing the folks at my church sing and I've been trying to find the songs they sing.

[@ranferchristian8050]

Amen! God bless you!

[@Despotic_Waffle]

If anyone has headed Tchaikovsky overture 1812, it sound similar to tone 1, is this because he adapted orthodox chant melodies into his composing

[@beasheerhan4482]

And then Rimsky-Korsakoff took that and adapted it to be The Lord's Prayer.

[@andrewharvest2528]

I love our holy Faith so much. Glory to You our Risen God and Master Jesus Christ my King

Tone 4 always makes me cry

[@segintendorocks]

The dreaded tone three always gets me 🤣

[@domarinolo7747]

As someone from the Byzantine tradition, these hymns in the Russian style are very familiar yet very strange sounding. Still beautiful though

[@lawrencebarlow5009]

Do you have other recordings as well, say of the Kontakia, the Antiphons, Cherubic Hymns, Creed, etc? I am trying to put together a cantor's melody reference, and your choir fits my voice range!

I'm having a little trouble discerning tones. Here, for example, tone one varies in pitch from a little high to a little low. Like traveling across slight hills. However, it seems when the tone is slowed down it sounds noticeably different. Very , I guess, ancient Greek sounding. Something you'd hear in a period piece . What exactly makes a tone a tone?

[@lemon__snicker5973]

"Tone" is a bit of lacklustre translation from the original Greek term, which was "mode;" "mode" makes more sense in the traditional Greek way of chanting/choral singing, i.e. the Byzantine rite, where there is typically a low drone and changing melodies overtop it. This follows with conventional Western music theory that uses the classical Greek modes (ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, locrian). Without complicating matters, the order and context in which notes are played or sung affects the tonality or "mood" of the resulting music. Think major or minor keys, for example; happy vs. sad, to state it plainly. This choral music is sung in the Russian Orthodox style, and I forget the history, but essentially, the Byzantine-style chanting gradually faded, but the word "tone" stuck, and now in most Slavic churches it really just means "melodic pattern" as opposed to mode. They are fixed, always in the same key, and usually have four parts of harmony. A few hymns still sung in Russian churches use the Byzantine-style, usually a main melody, a lower drone as mentioned previously, and occasionally a third part that harmonizes with the "fundamental" or aforementioned main melody.

Nutshell Theology

[@LyricalInjectionRec]

Tonetutor?

[@theunknownone2189]

So are the tones different octaves? Or just different ways of singing?

[@637_uni_verse]

They are distinct from each other. They're all different melodies. It's kind of hard to notice at first, but if you give it a few listens you'll hear it. God bless you.

[@gabrieladolfobarrionuevo7374]

This isn’t byzantine music… the lyrics indeed are from the Orthodox Church but the tone isn’t… it’s 8 tones which means they all sound different

[@katiebrown498]

These are russian tones

[@ΆγιοςΙερώνυμος-χ2γ]

This doesn't sound at all like the tones in Byzantine music. Why are these chants all harmonized?

[@Bellg]

Because this isn't byzantine music. This is the slavonic polyphonic tradition

[@ΆγιοςΙερώνυμος-χ2γ]

@@Bellg right, so this isn’t ancient chant, it only dates to around the 17th century more or less, when the Church was westernised by Peter the ‘Great’.

[@Bellg]

@@ΆγιοςΙερώνυμος-χ2γ Nobody said it was "ancient", you are tilting at windmils. You cannot now pretend to be the church historian if you couldn't even recognize the obikhod tones as part of the orthodox world

[@ΆγιοςΙερώνυμος-χ2γ]

@@Bellg the Slavs used monophonic, plainsong before the 17th century. It was sadly due to Latin, Papist influence that they started using polyphony. Italian composers were influential in these new melodies-this music sounds closer to Palestrina than it does to Koukouzelis or any of St Romanos’ compositions. It would be nice if they went back to the older chant.

[@TitusFlavius11]

Because we like it this way. And we want to keep it as it is. The Greeks can keep doing their thing. It’s also beautiful.

[@gazgazzrnea5353]

:/ why don't you try the byzantine way of singing
