A wonderful Feast of the Dormition to you! Being on the Julian Calendar, we don't celebrate it until the 27th of August...

One of my very favourite hymns is from this Feast:

O ye Apostles, who have come together here from many places, bury my body here in the garden of Gethsemane, and thou, my Son and my God, recieve my spirit...

Mu grandfather actually did a beautiful arrangement of this hymn...

I trust you will have a joyous feast. We had a family get together with the Irish side of the family and people came from all over the East coast. Although my immediate family missed it as we were at Divine Liturgy, my Jesuit cousin said the Mass for the Assumption for the Latins in the family. All in all it was a wonderful day.

Do you have a link to an audio file?
