The Theotokia on this page are chanted on weekdays in Vespers and Orthros after the Apolytikia of minor saints, i.e., saints for whom the Menaion does not appoint the Great Doxology to be chanted in Orthros. For celebrated saints (i.e., saints for whom the Menaion does appoint the Great Doxology to be chanted in Orthros), the Theotokia on this page are replaced by the Theotokia of the Resurrection. Music for those Theotokia is available in the Vespers section following the Apolytikion of each mode.

+ The music for this page has not been composed yet. God willing, it will be ready by September of 2008.

Note: Clicking a "Hear" link will open a playable Finale file. In order to hear the music with Finale NotePad, you need to click on the green triangle button in its toolbar. You may need to increase the volume settings on your computer, since the playback volume of Finale files is rather low. Even though these files may be printed, it is not suggested to do so, since the fonts and graphics will not appear as they should. Clicking a "View" link will open a PDF file, which is meant to be printed.

The Finale files are all about 70 Kb, whereas some the PDF files can be as large as 2000 Kb. Therefore, if your internet connection is slow, it is advisable to browse through the music by clicking the "Hear" links instead of the "View" links.
