Even listen to this. One of the most strict priests I know said that he prefers the English because the Arabic's meaning is too complex (I know him personally as well). Fr. Yohanna Nassif - عند شق الفجر باكر
You all are taking the Protestant translation thing way too far. Yes some things are Protestant but the imagery about the angels for instance isn't absolute blasphemy nor is it inappropriate to sing in the church...I know the person who translated "…

Actually Cantor Ibrahim started doing that in Egypt during Good Fridays since 2011 (maybe before). 2011 and 2012 he did that at St. Mary's and St. Athanasius's Coptic Orthodox Church in Nasr City and then again this year at St. Mark's Coptic Orthodo…
Here is a complete Lent Vesper Praise with video by Ibrahim Ayad and the Chorus: Great Lent Vesper Praise led by Cantor Ibrahim Ayad and Deacons of the Clerical College and Didymus Institute
This is an Psali that they put on the Sabani Hobek tune. I question the validity of the tune though...I have never heard it used in an Psali...I will look and see if I hear it anywhere else
Dear ophadece,

Dear ophadece,
I saw a recording from St. Mary's and St. Athanasius's Church in Medinat Nasr for the feast of St. Athanasius and they did the Hitens that way.
Dear ilovesaintmark,
This is true. Sorry for not stating that. I assumed since Bishop You…
Oh in Hiten, the Pope's Hiten should be right before the saint of the day. After the saint of the day, and then the verse for Anba Pakhomius's is chanted and then the verse of the bishop (metropolitan) present is then chanted.
In the Thanksgiving Prayer, you say "and to repose the soul of our holy father the thrice-blessed Pope Shenouda III and to keep the life and standing of our holy father the metropolitan Avva Pakhomius and his partner in the apostolic ministry our ho…

SWMSANMG,
I have not received any recordings of the super long Hiten from any other m3alems besides M3alem Ibrahim and M3alem Sadek (whom both used to share hymns together). Send me a recording of M3alem Mikhail Girgis please.

jydeacon,
True, but there must have been one specific tune before it became 2. It would only make sense that the oldest school of teaching had established all of the tunes but other schools made their own to better suffice their culture in that regi…

Everyone else,

OK lets get some things straightened out here:
Annunciation = Major Feast of the Lord
Lazarus Saturday = Fixed Day (not feast)
Annunciation can not be missed, so there will b…
How come festal verses go before Shere Ne Maria? The festal verses then aren't about Christ either then...How come many books attach Ouestoynoufi after Je Penioat?
