Live recording from the funeral services for Bishop James Pazhayattil (1934-2016). Lead voice: Fr. Sebastian Sankoorikkal, Archdiocese of Ernakualm-Angamaly. • Note: This is the Malayalam version of a precious chant, 'Etha pus lek, from the (East) Syriac repertoire of the Chaldeo-Malabar Church in Kerala. The Malayalam translation is by Fr. Abel Periyapuram, CMI (1920-2001).The chant is unique from the perspective of the text and the melody. The change of narrative voices within the text and the melismatic ending of phrases are note worthy. A detailed study of this chant can be found in my chapter in Music and World Christianities (Oxford University Press, 2016) http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/1... The chapter contains transliteration and translation of the Syriac and Malayalam versions of the text. The Syriac text is heard only rarely at present. We are fortunate to have this video from a celebrated singer of Syriac chants, Fr. Seabstian Sankoorikkal). • Joseph J.
