The Voice of Tradition,
A Modern Harmony
Eikona, a devoted three-sister ensemble, brings a unique perspective to Byzantine chant by performing these ancient hymns with English translations and a Western sensibility. Their heartfelt harmonies make the profound beauty and theology of Greek Orthodox worship accessible to a wider audience.
The Akathist Hymn is a Service of the Orthodox Church that invites the faithful to rejoice in the unique and sublime role the Virgin Mary played in the salvation of mankind.
This is the sheet music in Western notation that corresponds to our recording of the Akathist Hymn, available here for download in PDF format. This beautiful musical poem to the Mother of God is traditionally chanted on the first first Friday evenings of Great Lent.
With the purchase of this PDF you have the right to copy it for use in your church.
