A Sacrifice of Praise
A Joyful Noise with Christian Farrajd
Amy and Richard talk to Christian Farradj, the host of Ancient Faith’s new Byzantine chant series on Ancient Faith Kids. Christian shares about his journey making the leap from altar to analogion in his youth, and the opportunities and challenges of learning Byzantine music in a time when there are more resources and interest than ever before. As a special bonus, Christian’s heretofore unknown family connection with one of the hosts is also revealed! A Joyful Noise on Ancient Faith Kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DnLPPx1wZo&t=321s

About
Byzantine chant is a living tradition comprising a rich, diverse, multilingual repertoire, and in recent years its practice, pedagogy, and development in English have expanded tremendously. English-language scores, recordings, teaching resources, and even professional credentials are now available, and new materials are being produced on an ongoing basis. Cantors Amy Hogg and Richard Barrett discuss the state of the field in English-language Byzantine chant, exploring where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. Along the way you’ll hear interviews with different teachers, composers, and cantors, and—hopefully—you’ll learn to chant some things yourself!
