The music recorded here is taken from a twelfth century manuscript that originated in the basilica of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem ( Manuscrit du Saint Sepulcre de Jerusalem XIIe Siècle Chantilly, Musée condé ms. XVIII b 12. ), based on the liturgical practices of the Knights Templar, a non-monastic order founded to protect Jerusalem and the Christians who made pilgrimage there. 

The recording was made in the 900-year-old Abbey of Fontevraud.


Lyrics in Latin:
Salve regina, mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae,
ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
Et Iesum benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis virgo Maria.

Alpha et omega misit de superis 
gloriousum solamen miseris 
cum Gabriel a summa gerarchia 
paranimphus dicit in armonia: 
Ave Virgo Maria. 
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Maria.

O pastores pro Deo surgite, 
quid vidistis de Christo dicite, 
Reges Tharsis de stella visione 
sint testes in apparitione: 
Ave Virgo Maria. 
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Maria.

Fons humilis, aquarum puteus, 
rosa mundi, splendor sydereus, 
amigdalus Aaron fructuosa 
precantibus esto lux gloriosa: 
Ave Virgo Maria. 
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Maria.

Traditional English Translation:
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
And after this our exile, show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

The alpha and Omega sent from on high 
a glorious solace to the suffering 
when from the highest rank of angels 
the paranymph Gabriel harmoniously declared: 
Hail, Virgin Mary, 
O Clement, O pious, O gentle Mary.

O shepherds, rise before your God, 
relate what you have seen of Christ. 
Let the kings of Tharsis bear witness 
that they saw the star appear: 
Hail, Virgin Mary, 
O Clement, O pious, O gentle Mary.

Font of humility1, well giving forth waters 
rose of the world, divine splendour, 
fertile rod of Aaron, 
be the glorious light of the that pray thee: 
Hail, Virgin Mary, 
O Clement, O pious, O gentle Mary. 

1 Can also be translated as 'humble fountain'. – mfi.

PSALAM 117 - MANASTIR KOVILJ/ 117 ფსალმუნი

Psalms 9-16

Done in a style unique and original to St Romanos Hermitage.

The Psalms of David chanted in a style unique to St Romanos Hermitage. Pulling from Russian, Greek, Arabic, Bulgarian, Irish, English plain chant and Gregorian chant musical influences, these Psalms are a subtle fusion of various musical traditions transformed into what has been described by some as having a uniquely American feel with ever-flowing penitence and contemplation. Each Kathisma limits itself to a single melody which then repeats and evolves and elaborates yet remains that original sole melodic idea, like an Orthodox "Tone."

The Orthodox monastic services are completely sung or chanted with no instruments other than the human voice; nearly nothing is ever spoken. There is not a single service in the Orthodox church that does not employ the Psalms. Psalms were sung by the earliest Christians to include Jesus and His apostles.

The Psalter, or the entire group of all the Psalms have been divided into 20 Kathismas of more or less equal length. This then aids their incorporation into various Orthodox services to be chanted or sung entirely throughout each week. It is also the practice in the Orthodox Church to chant the Psalms in the presence of a reposed Orthodox Christian from the time of their repose until their internment. All Psalms here are listed according to the Greek (Septuagint) numbering of the Psalms.

Psalms from the King James translation of 1611.

Cover: Roman of St Romanos Hermitage 

All music composed and chanted by Roman.

Kathisma II

Psalm 50

Psalm 50 Aramaic -Archimandrite Seraphim

ტყვეთა განმანთავისუფლებელო და გლახაკთა ხელის ამპყრობელო
სნეულთა მკურნალო და მეფეთა უძლეველო წინამბრძოლო
ღვაწლით შემოსილო დიდო მოწამეო გიორგი
ევედრე ქრისტესა ღმერთსა შეწყალებად სულთა ჩვენთათვის.

წმ. გიორგის ტროპარი-ხმა V

Gregory Tsanava
