Deacon John El Massih, SMI Vespers Talk, Part 1

A Sacrifice of Praise

In July of 2018, at the Antiochian Archdiocese’s Sacred Music Institute, Deacon John El Massih, the protopsaltis of the Antiochian Archdiocese, gave a presentation on Vespers. Deacon John used the vespers service of July 21st, 2018, as an example to talk about the parts of the service and the specifics of each hymn. In this episode, you will hear Deacon John describe the beginning of Vespers up until O Gladsome Light! Come back next week for the second part of Deacon John's presentation, and then join us again a week after that for the third and final part!
