Christmas Anaphora

Anaphora at Vesperal Liturgy by Saint Basil the Great for Christmas Eve.
Sung moments ago.

May the Power of Christ the Embodied Word speak His love - and mine to you! - in the profound sacraments of your heart, where such mystery remains forever etched, forever alive, forever new, forever the same, forever safe, forever greater, forever one. And if my expression ever wronged beauty, it was only due to the fire with which it sought to cradle the purity of its truth. But the spirit of prophesy in your heart sees that Beyond and beckons a higher redemption onto me, who can only weep in gratitude as if a monteverdian ray veiled the perfect rhyme



The score for basilian anaphora has been standardized by Jacob the phanariot, reiterating was in practice before him - ekphonetic+sticheraric, adapted to each liturgical instance.
