I heard Protopsaltis Constantine’s choir sing at St. George’s in Athens last year during the summer pilgrimage. How’s the new cantor handling the troparion for the feast of St. George this Sunday?

Rebecca Smith

The choir under Mr Constantine always lifts the service nicely. I caught the live stream from St George Papagou a couple of Sundays back and the troparion sounded even stronger than what Paul heard in Athens last year. Looking forward to hearing how the new cantor shapes it this time.

Емил Ангелов

I will watch the broadcast on Sunday, I am especially interested in how the new psaltery will sing the troparion of St. George - last time the choir of Constantinou did it very cleanly.

Sarah Johnson

I caught the live stream from St George Papagou a few weeks ago and the troparion did sound cleaner than what I remember from Athens last summer. Curious how the new cantor will take it this Sunday.

Елена Смирнова

I also had a moment when I listened to this choir in the recording - their troparion to St. George really comes out very clearly, especially the last lines. It’s interesting how the new psalm will lead him now, probably placing accents a little differently. I'll watch it on Sunday, thanks for the broadcast.

Γιώργος Βασιλείου

I'll have it play on Sunday. Last year I heard Konstantinou with the choir in Papagou and the trope of Saint George came out very clear, especially the "by blood". I wonder how the new singer will take it, will he put a slightly different emphasis?

Тодор Кирилов

I'll watch on Sunday too. I'm curious how exactly the new psalt will approach the troparion, especially since the Constantinou choir sang it so cleanly and calmly last time. Do you follow this choir from experience or do you just like it?

Анна Волкова

I'll be watching on Sunday too. Constantine and the choir’s troparion to St. George always comes out very purely, especially “di’ emmatos,” as Georgios wrote. I wonder if the new psalt will slow it down a little or, conversely, add strength at the end.

Васил Стефанов

I'll watch too, Emile. I wonder if the new psalt will do it faster or if it will stay at the same leisurely pace as last time. Do you prefer fast or more relaxed troparion performances?

Григорий Голубев

It's good that you'll watch, Anna. Constantine really conducts the troparion purely, especially his “di’ emmatos” is always even. And the new psalm, in my opinion, last year slightly increased the tempo at the end, let’s see how it turns out now.

Ελένη Οικονόμου

Yes, the "by blood" last year was really clean, I remember it too. The new singer that will be this year usually takes a bit slower tempo, so I expect him to give more weight to "by blood". Will you put it from the beginning of Orthros?

Румяна Петрова

I will also watch, Todore, I am especially interested in how the new psalt will cope with the tempo of the troparion - last time Constantinou sang it so evenly that you could hear every syllable. I've been following them for years, ever since my daughter showed me their first recording from this church, and I really like how they keep the laid back style going. And since when have you been listening to them?

Νίκη Βασιλείου

Yes, I remember it clearly last year too. This year with the new singer and the slower tempo you mention, I expect the "by blood" to come out really heavier. I will put it from the beginning of Orthros, like last year.

Γιάννης Νικολαΐδης

Yes, I agree, the slow tempo helps the phrase come out deeper. Last year with Giorgos Konstantinou, "by blood" had something that lifted you a little higher. Will you put it this year again from Orthros?

Xenia Wilson

I thought the same about the troparion last time – it had real weight to it. The new cantor does seem to bring a slightly different colour, especially in the slower parts. Did you watch the whole Orthros or just dip in for the Liturgy?

Илия Илиев

I will watch too, Rumyana. I am interested precisely in the tempo of the troparion, because last time you could really hear every syllable like a lesson. I've been following them for about two years now, ever since a friend sent me the link after a game, and I love that they take their time. Which troper did you like the most so far?

Васил Стефанов

I'll be watching too, especially the tropes. Last time you could really hear every word without skipping a beat, which I like. Which tropar do you find the most difficult to pace, Elie?

Елена Петкова

I will watch with you, Elie. Last time I liked the troparion of St. George the most - clear, calm, without blurring. And which troper do you follow mostly for tempo?
