Hi guys, I play the recorder for fun and I mostly play Coptic tunes on it so I decided to record a tune and put the words to it - just thought I'd share it with you:
Absolutely touching. Flute instruments have a way of penetrating into the soul.
Can I offer a request: (1) The Litany of the Vegetation, Air, Water--the prayer of acceptance of the life in the Lord; (2) Vol Evol; (3) The Armenian Rendition of the Lord's Prayer (The Hayr Mer); (4) Pen-neeb (from the Liturgy of St. Gregory).

Same here, I haven't played my flute in such a long, long time. Think I'll get it out when I go home this weekend :)
Wow, this tune is actually making me think about playing the flute. I used to play saxophone but i also heard that the flute has the same fingerings for the notes. Thank you so much for this, keep 'em coming. God bless,
When I was in Elementary School I begged my parents to put me in band. They hoped for me to develop a new talent, so they paid the $300 fee and waited to see if I was the next James Galway. I played with it for maybe two days then got bored and stopped practicing. On concert days, I put on an act by pretending to blow and move my fingers. Three years in band and I came out knowing how to play "Hot Cross Buns" with a few mistakes.
Same story with Basketball and Softball; I quit second day. Now my parents ignore me whenever I ask to try something new. They just tell me to stick with piano.
This video makes me regret giving up. If I would have stuck with it, I could have been playing like epchois!
You should do it geomike. Or, actually, go for the a3ood. I'm dying to try it, but my parents keep reminding me of my flute days ::)

Where can I get the music? Hopefully with westerrn notation?
God bless you
...and please don't miss this :-[
Sorry aidan I play by ear - I don't have any notes :( If you're using the same type of recorder I could probably tell you the order of the holes to block - mine is just a plastic recorder with 7 holes in it - does yours work the same?

Do you have any recordings of these? I know Vol Evol and the Litany of Vegetation, but I'm not familiar with the tune Pen-neeb or the Hary Mer ...

Pennib Pensoteer - Track 2 at 41.55, Liturgy of St. Gregory by Fr. Youssef Asaad. I don't know the words to describe it's beauty.
Where can I find the original audio and text for this passage? (I mean with a priest praying with this tune)

One of my favourite parts of the mass as well!
Thanks for sharing

Hey, do I pick out the good ones, or what?
Hehe you definitely do, that was BEAUTIFUL - I wish we used St. Gregory's more.
Unfortunately, my recorder only has 8 notes so I can't fit that tune on it :(
Figure something out. I did my part.
Epchois,
Figure something out. I did my part.
Very well, for you, I shall drill another hole into the plastic. It will pain me, but it I will do it nonetheless.
