Featuring Archdeacon Panteleimon Papadopoulos, Dr. Vicki Pappas, and Dr. Grammenos Karanos • Discussion Questions: • 1. What are the distinctive qualities of Byzantine chant and music? • 2. How does the music of the Orthodox Church fit into the life of the Church? • 3. What are the different tones in Byzantine chant? • 4. Do the hymns and responses constitute prayers or are they simply responses to the priest or officiating bishop? • 5. Should the faithful simply listen or join in with the cantor or choir? • 6. Is the music of the Church today the same as it was centuries ago or has it evolved? • 7. How can I learn to participate if I don't know Byzantine music? • 8. What is the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians? • Discovering Orthodox Christianity is a series of talks, shows, and presentations designed to introduce and explain the basic teaching of Orthodox Christianity. Sponsored by the Leadership 100 Endowment Fund the series covers a wide range of topics with the goal of educating the viewer in simple, easy to understand terms. • Additional information about Orthodox Christianity can be found on the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America website at http://www.goarch.org/ .
