Thread: earworms
I get \"earworms\" all the time. Mostly liturgical music earworms! You can condition yourself to do that, JustinMiller, even if you don\'t know that many hymns yet. Concentrate on the ones you DO know. And in case you and others weren\'t aware of this, we as Orthodox have many \"model hymns\"--hymns whose melodies serve for many different texts. If you look at the rubrics (in Greek anyway) you will see this. For example, the melody for \"Epephanis Simeron\"--the kontakion for Epiphany--is a model hymn for several other texts. So in many cases, if you learn one hymn, the model, you learn the tune for several others as well.
