Unmercenary Sacred Music The Listening Room Galician Antiphons and Enarxis

There are two different ways one can do the opening of the liturgy inthe Galician tradition. The first is the Ruthenian antiphonal style, which uses Psalms 64, 65, and 67 with refrains. The second is two use the typical psalms, which is based on the monastic Sabbaite tradition as is used in the Russian, Athonite, and Serbian traditions. However, I have altered the typica to use refrains. For more information and sheet music see www.unmercenary.com/chant/gldivlit.html.
