KOINE CHANTS 2: katheilen dynastas!

Advent Greetings Dear Friends.

In keeping with the advent season, December’s Koine Greek chant is Luke 1.52, a phrase from Mary’s messianic song during pregnancy:

“He has cast down the Powers from their thrones, and raised up the Low.”

Transliteration:

Ka-atheilen dynastas — downcasting the powers

Apo thronon — from their thrones

Kai upsosen ta-peinous — and raising up the low

Greek:

καθεῖλεν δυνάστας

ἀπὸ θρόνων

καὶ ὕψωσεν ταπεινούς

To be sung as prayer, round and chant.
