Newly-Composed Hymns for the Liturgical Year

Based on the Byzantine Lectionary and Liturgy

Preface The Byzantine (Ruthenian) Catholic Church possesses as a rich inheritance a large collection of hymns to the Holy Trinity, to the Mother of God, and to the saints. These hymns are sung before and after services, at pilgrimages and parish events, and have been collected in Traditional Hymns of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy of Pittsburgh. However, this body of traditional hymns included very little material for the Sundays and major feast days of the liturgical year. So from 2001 to 2007, the Metropolitan Cantor Institute prepared and published new hymns for each Sunday of the year, based on the Sunday epistle and Gospel readings, as added new spiritual songs for major feasts based on the prayers of Vespers. These hymns are gathered in this volume, along with a hymn for each day of the week and for a few additional occasions. The Sunday Hymns and the “Lucan Jump” For most Sundays, the first verses of the Sunday hymn are based on the Gospel reading of the day, while the final verse summarizes the theme of the day’s epistle reading. Thus, the faithful can hear, in different words, the message of the Sunday, to prepare them for the readings they will hear during the Divine Liturgy. In the Byzantine tradition, beginning immediately after the Sunday following the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14), we begin reading the Gospel of Luke at the Divine Liturgy. This means that from this point on, there may be a 1- to 3-week discrepancy between the “week” of the Gospel readings and the rest of the service (epistle reading, tone of the week). When this occurs, the final verse of the Sunday hymn may be omitted if desired. But it may also be sung, since the message of Christian discipleship found in the apostolic writings is always relevant. The melodies used here Many of these hymns were initially set to existing traditional Rusyn melodies, following the pattern widely used in our church in Europe. This dependence on “traditional” tunes meant that a large fraction of these hymns were originally set to a single melody, Pod tvoj pokrov (We hasten to your patronage). In this collection, care has been taken not to rely too much on any one melody. Some well-known Christmas melodies, already sung in our church and included among the “traditional hymns” as

Christmas carols, are used here for hymns of the Christmas Pascha (from December 6 to February 2), to mark the liturgical unity of this season. Other melodies from the English singing tradition have also been used, as follows:

• Forest Green for feasts associated with the Incarnation • Kingsfold for feasts of apostles • Ellacombe for feasts of monastic saints

In many cases, cantors can choose to sing these to traditional Rusyn melodies such as Pod tvoj pokrov (We hsten to your patronage) if desired. Other considerations In the course of assembling this hymnal, many cantors and choir directors have asked for 3-part or 4-part arrangements for singing by a choir or congregation. The Metropolitan Cantor Institute plans to produce a set of harmonizations that includes each of the melodies used in this collection. Use of these hymns is, of course, optional! Cantors and pastors may print out individual hymns or incorporate them into parish bulletins if desired. We hope that this collection provides additional opportunities for the faithful to see the year's services "through the mind of the Church", and that it may lead others to prepare new hymns or hymn translations to grace the liturgical year. May God be glorified in all things!
