Love this, by far my fav orthodox chant so far discovered. does anyone have any other recommendations? english preffered but other languages ok too.

The human voice is the most beautiful instrument ever created. Thank you.

I really enjoy this. Very intense and beautiful.

Clicks the play button, immediately starts crying. Such powerful music

I live in Michigan but this makes me want to take a road trip and visit a oarish down south!

That fresco is from the chapel(parecclesion) of the Chora monastery in Constantinople (Istanbul) which was recently re-converted into a Mosque by the Turkish government (it had first been converted into a mosque in the early 1500s but it became a museum in the 1940s)

Honestly, this is such a perfect blend that I can't hear where the Byzantine ends and the Appalachian starts

Amin

I cannot listen to this without goosebumps and tears every time.

Sorry this is corny AF.

Beautiful. Glory to God! ☦️

Do yall know Farcry 5? It somehow reminds me of it

Любовь

Beautiful! Haunting, ethereal mountain music

Understand, all ye nations, and submit yourselves: For God is with us. Hear ye, even unto the uttermost ends of the earth: For God is with us. Submit yourselves, ye mighty ones: For God is with us. If again ye shall rise up in your might, again shall ye be overthrown: For God is with us. If any take counsel together, them shall the Lord destroy: For God is with us. And the word which ye shall speak shall not abide in you: For God is with us. For we fear not your terror, neither are we troubled: For God is with us. But the Lord our God, He it is to Whom we will ascribe holiness, and Him shall we fear: For God is with us. And if I put my trust in Him, He shall be my sanctification: For God is with us. I will set my hope on Him, and through Him shall I be saved: For God is with us. Lo, I and the children whom God hath given me: For God is with us. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: For God is with us. And they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, on them hath the light shined: For God is with us. For unto us a Son is born, unto us a Child is given: For God is with us. And the government shall be upon His shoulder: For God is with us. And of His peace there shall be no end: For God is with us. And his name shall be called the Angel of Great Council: For God is with us. Wonderful, Counsellor: For God is with us. The Mighty God, the Highest Power, the Prince of Peace: For God is with us. The Father of the world to come: For God is with us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: For God is with us. Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen. For God is with us. God is with us. Understand, all ye nations, and submit yourselves: For God is with us.

Beautiful.

Do you know where I can find this albumn?

This is the second Appalachian style ive heard of this and im From South Carolina absolutley remarkable and beautiful ❤️. As someone born protestant and who is super interested in Orthodoxy for the past few years this brings tears to my eyes

This goes hard

This is true American Orthodoxy. One day America will have its own church

If I found an Orthodox Sect in the heart of Appalachia, perhaps i would have found a new home.

So unique, beautiful... God, have mercy for us sinners. Greeting from Serbia.

Both of my parents were born and Raised in the Appalachian portion of Tennessee. It’s so cool hearing this music in a familiar way!!

Such a powerful chant. I daresay I prefer it compared to its (also excellent) Byzantine version in Greek, even though in general I will always go for the latter in Orthodox chants.

Picturing God's throne room and all inside who worship him while this is being sung.

✨👋🍷♥️☦️❣️

God, I pray that, if it be Your will, you let this style flourish, if only so that I, as an American, can better understand the music. If not for that reason, well, I think it is quite close if not the peak beauty an American voice may produce for You.

I truly cried since child hood yearning for god to forgive me.

❤

WE HAVENT HAD AN ECCUMENICAL COUNCIL SINCE THE AMERICAS WERE MADE KNOWN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!! We are long overdue for an American See and with such abtruly Orthodx American culture such as this (as well as the "latin american" traditions).

God bless this singer

How is this your only video?! Please, more of this. I would love to see you work with the two guys in the original video to produce more like this. America needs this right now.

Please make this a wojak meme "you were just dropped off on enemy lines" and it's a picture of deep Appalachia and this song echoing in the background.

Well, I've only actually been to the Appalachian region a time or two and yet this does indeed speak to my innermost parts . I have always loves Bluegrass and Go spel Bluegrass in particular . I am also Orthodox 😮hodox so this is like hitting the Trifecta of Spiritual feel- goods!

Where was this recorded? Was it sung within a church context, or outside of the Divine Services?

OCA or Orthodox Church of America is a mix of American Orthodox. Leave the Russian, Greek and Arabic traditions as they are sacred to their people.

Very beautiful

Christ is lord.

i am speacless!! what have i heard?!! this is more then beautifull! greetings from Orthodox Macedonia+++

As a Protestant, this is great. The more American style chants we can have in our churches the better.

Someone really needs to get those two seminarians back together for a full album. I’d throw money at that in a heartbeat. Appalachian chant is what my heart longs for.

American catholic and I wholeheartedly stand with my orthodox brothers & sisters ✝☦

Wish we had a ROCOR church in south east Texas with music like this.

The call chanting of Appalachia and the Scottish Highlands is not that different from the calling of the Balkans or the Carpathians. Calling to God for mercy and salvation.

As an American Orthodox Christian concert from the Baptist Church who struggles with the foreignness of Orthodoxy itself, this made me weep tears of joy. God is indeed with us brothers and sisters and the Lord WILL move in America, this will become reality one day and western rite orthodox will poor over protestantism and Roman Catholicism. Then came the Day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover must be killed. And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.” So they said to Him, “Where do You want us to prepare?” And He said to them, “Behold, when you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house which he enters. Then you shall say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ Then he will show you a large, furnished upper room; there make ready.” So they went and found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.

Oh dude this is amazing

Oh my lord. I just found this today. Been getting into Orthodoxy for almost a year and being from the south this is absolutely beautiful. I need a playlist of this. Bless My brothers and sisters of Appalach.

There are many sacred harp groups in this country. Many people love to sing these old songs. I also hear Norse influence in these songs

Glory to God! This is so beautiful.❤

No words can decribe how this makes me feel. Deeper than the marrow in my bones this is one of the most etheral and timeless feelings ive ever felt. Absolutely brilliant
