Chanted by Byzantine Master and Professor of Byzantine Music Mr. George Papanikolaos from Samos, Greece.
(Psalm 135)
1st stichera: 1st Tone
O Give Thanks unto the Lord for he is
good Alleulia..for his mercy endureth forever Alleluia. Several verses are chanted in this tone and then it goes into: Plagal of 4th Tone...a few more verses then it goes into: Plagal of 2nd Tone...a few more verses, then it goes into Grave Tone....a few more verses, then it goes back to 1st tone...a few more verses until end.
The Entire psalm 135 is not chanted as this is the extended version and could take up to 1 hour chant in this fashion. This is usually chanted on Mount Athos during their all night vigils. I have condensed it to fit 10 mins.
No instruments are used when chanting byzantine music, only the human voice can be used and nothing else.
