Coptic midnight psalmody in English

[Raouf Ibrahim]

Dear Friends,

St. Antony Monastery in California has produced a very nice recording of the Coptic Psalmody of the Midnight Praises in English. You can find the complete set (2 cds worth) at:

Then click on "Midnight Praises - Coptic - St. Anthony Monastery" which should take you to:

If you want to get a flavor for some wonderful chants (some of my favorites), try tracks:

"With the Split"
"O Sing unto Him"
"Commemoration of the Saints"
"Fourth Canticle"
"Sunday Psali for the Virgin"
"Hail to You Mary ( Theotokia Part 7 )"
"Who is Likened unto You"
"The Conclusion of the Adam Theotokia"

Enjoy these heavenly chants!

In Christ,
Raouf

Thank you for posting these links, Raouf. It is sometimes hard to find good chant recordings online.

Are the "midnight praises" also used in the Chalcedonian churches?
