Thanks very much, Kolo, that was very beautiful! I can definitely see how one could get into a very spiritual mood listening to it. I don't think I've ever heard a real chant in English before. :) Thanks again.

"Thanks very much, Kolo, that was very beautiful! I can definitely see how one could get into a very spiritual mood listening to it."

In part, it was just such chanting that so impressed the envoys of Prince Vladimir when they first attended a Divine Liturgy at Agia Sophia in Constantinople. That impression lead directly to the conversion of Kiev to Christianity.

"I don't think I've ever heard a real chant in English before. :) Thanks again."

You are very welcome. Over the coming 7 weeks of Great Lent, I'll be posting a number of links to various chants in both English and Greek.
