With all due respect, that is wrong. Tenouwst is supposed to be said, even though it is vespers praises for the following Sunday. This is the tradition, even though there is some solid argument otherwise, but this is the tradition, and please let us…

[quote author=aem581 link=topic=9280.msg114838#msg114838 date=1275108028] ophadece! Hey buddy! Long time no talk! I was just going to ask what was your source because I have NEVER heard of this rite before! Thank you man! In Christ, aem581 [/quote]…

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=9280.msg114759#msg114759 date=1274840710] Tamgeeds in general shouldn't be done during communion. The right place would be after the synixar before Agios. [/quote] Yes that is right. What Mina and AMoussa stated is…

[quote author=minagir link=topic=9261.msg114675#msg114675 date=1274546814] The only time that Alli el-orban is said, replacing the Kerie Leison, is when there is no agpeya hours to pray and there is a procession of the lamb that includes a hymn like…

Dear Ebchoisnainan, Allow me to say that we didn't lose the "3ein" in modern Coptic, and actually I am not someone in favour of the term "modern Coptic" anyway. There is no "modern" and "old". There is an introduced dialect that goes totally against…

Thanks Mina for clarifying. I have to concede then that not all the hymns are rendered through teachings of cantor Mikhail, as previously claimed then. It seems that there are lots of discrepancies between renderings here and there, and efforts of u…

no I disagree the long tune is joyful and the short is annual. If all the cantors change the tune after a few verses (most likely at Yasos Bekhrestos that's due to common practices influenced by time restraints but shouldn't be so. I hope this makes…

So, hymn number 1 is the one that cantor Fahim taught HICS, and the one sounding slightly live, as kindly provided by cantor Wagdi (although in all honesty I thought that was cantor Farag teaching them the Arabic tune-fitting). OK, hymn number 2 is …

There is annual and joyful Mina. I couldn't really understand your point - what did you mean in your previous post? [coptic]oujai qen `P[C[/coptic]

ya aby you pray for me. I hope you also share my feelings of waiting for others to participate. Oujai khen ebshois

yes jydeacon I totally respect your opinion and I think overall it is a very logical argument. What I am really uneasy about is that I sense a slight negativity in your tone about hymns and Coptic language in general but I guess I agree about the sy…

Jydeacon, Thanks for your response. I cannot comment on the bishops' views as I said I don't know exactly the rationale behind that principle, but please note that this is strictly speaking what the church teaches. If you finish [coptic]ounis] [/cop…

I don't know why people made much of a fuss about that recently. I don't think this debate was of any importance before. Well, I don't claim to know the scriptures by heart, but I guess he did really. People in Egypt don't like the fact that he did …

Jydeacon, Please try to understand where I am coming from. You are aware that I lived in Egypt for 28 years before coming to the UK (and I always say this because it is only observation and deduction exercises as I am getting to learn new stuff now)…

Sorry, forgot to say that it is a well-known fact that Arabic ballads (mawaweel) were influenced, and did influence (duel-way relationship) some parts of the Coptic hymns, where there is much freestyling - generally more apparent in the longer melis…
-
Dear jydeacon, I still disagree. I am not a musicologist, probably some one with more knowledge of music, and the history of Arabic music in Egypt can explain this to us. But please note that "ya kol el sefoof", and "el 3adra meem reh yeh meem" deve…

OK Mina understood, but it will be a bit hard for me to understand if cantor Fahim took the Arabic text and Copticised it... what do you think? [coptic]oujai qen `P[C[/coptic]
-
So is that a teaching of cantor Fahim's? That is good, so what about the rest of the gospels? Mina, please understand I don't mean to be cynical here, but if that is the teaching of cantor Fahim why do none of the deacon service books have the Copti…

From magT in another thread: Originally the Quoran was not sung. Many Muslim scholars consider Quoranic tunes as a Coptic influence. That is why now in Egypt some fanatics try to avoid any melody in the call to prayer. It is said that during the Mus…
