Ah good question. I'll see about getting a download up here. Or I'll just send you an mp3. Would love to hear harmonies

Lovely! Such a great combo with voice and oud. Easy to pick up the tune and also to harmonise. The pitch works well for me too. Obviously the words are a bit more tricky to learn - but written down in our alphabet makes it absolutely doable. 👏🏼👏🏼

This is helpful Angie, thank you. I'll make sure I keep putting the English alphabet transliteration in there. I like the idea of helping develop familiarity with how the greek alphabet sounds, but certainly good to have them both.

Nice to hear. I'm on a similar path, but with Yeshua's words in Ancient Aramaic

This is beautiful. I didn't expect to spend my lunchtime with a chant on repeat, working out a descant part in Koine Greek, but life is full of good surprises recently.

This is gorgeous in so many ways. I echo La Muna above: download please! Many voices, simple harmonies, a quiet drum beat . . .

This is gorgeous and stirs something very deep, David. I can't be more thrilled. This makes me think about your Romans course and the group I mentioned to you last year. I'll write you an email about it.
