with so familiar a hymn However one advantage of the Thyateira Trisagion is its syllabic structure like the Greek its syllabic pattern for the first line is the same as the second ldquoHo-ly God Ho-ly Strongrdquo This lends itself quite nicely to AAB phrase structure found in virtually every traditional setting of the Trisagion but impossible with the more familiar ldquoHo-ly God Ho-ly Migh-tyrdquo

The Trisagionrsquos actual melody was another challenge altogether Originally we considered abandoning traditional AAB format in favor of using more of the original melody Since the first line of the original Greek ( ) has the same syllabic pattern as the first two lines of the translation (Holy God Holy Strong) it seemed logical to apply the original music for one line to two lines

A a gi i o o oj o o o Qe o o o oj Ho - ly__ God______ Ho - - - ly Strong________

However in order to conform to traditional phrase format the middle section of the melodic line was removed leaving the beginning and the end

Ho - ly God_________ Ho - ly Strong________

The third line could then remain largely the same as in the Greek Although this final adaptation uses less of the original Greek melody it conforms to the overall structure and form of the Trisagion better than our first attempt

The Cherubic Hymn on this record was adapted from Plagal Fourth Mode melody for weekdays by Petros Peloponnesios With little exception the melodic material in the adaptation is taken directly from the original The original melodic phrases are not in the original order however In this case we were able to take advantage of the fact that some phrases in the English translation have the same syllabic pattern as the original Greek although rarely in corresponding phrases For instance
