Overview

"Both a music book and a manual for the celebration of the public outdoor blessing of the waters at the Orthodox Christian celebration of Theophany, the book can serve as a hymnal for choir members singing at the communal event which commemorates the Baptism of Christ and the manifestation of the worship of the Holy Trinity. The book contains a short theological treatise on Theophany, a chapter with guidelines on how to organize the public event, a fresh translation of the complete liturgical text, and the sheet music of newly-composed choral hymns based on both Greek and Slavonic chant. The music is sure to sound both familiar in melody and somewhat new in harmony to the seasoned Orthodox Christian ear. The music ranges from simple to complex in its arrangement. The composer says, ""I have written this music both to glorify God and impress both Orthodox and non-Orthodox with the beauty of the Orthodox Christian Faith."" Paperback, 50 pp."
