Note: Clicking a "Hear" link will open a MIDI file, which can be played by your computer's media player. All these MIDI files are very small (less than 10 Kb). Bear in mind that a computer plays these files using an equal-tempered scale, which does not always correspond precisely to the actual pitches of Byzantine scales.
The translation used for these hymns of the Triodion is copyrighted by the Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Brookline and is used with their permission.
