There's a wonderful video here from St Paul's Church, Houston. I thought I'd share because it is quite moving.
The link is a direct link to a .wmv file and will initiate download.
About Me
- Michael
- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

Michael, that's lovely. Do you know what the music is and who is singing it? Thanks for linking.

Hello Keith, :-)
It's the Magnificat to a setting that's a blend between Sarum tone V3 and harmonies. I hadn't heard it before this video but it is truly lovely, so I e-mailed Fr Richard at St Paul's earlier today to ask him just what you asked me. When I hear back I'll let you know.
I hope you're well. :-)

Any word?
It is truly the most beautiful presentation of Western Orthodoxy I've seen yet.
Another question-I understand there was a Western Rite conference in your green and pleasant land not long ago. Any chance this might be a regular occurence?
Pax tecum.

Welcome, Subdeacon Thomas. :-)
There was an Orthodox retreat here earlier in the year. The clergy leading it were visiting from another diocese and were themselves Western Rite, and so the services over the retreat were as well, but that wasn't the core focus of the event.
I'm afraid I haven't heard back from Fr Richard. I was also trying to contact Fr Daniel Keller for over a week recently (although the reasons no longer exist). I'm beginning to suspect that the entire population of Texas has been abducted. (sigh)
Pax,
Michael
