Does anyone have the music for the Ruthenian Divine Liturgy in four part harmony?

Vesty,

I do have arrangements of the liturgy in four parts, though the translations are not 'current' in the sense of what the Levkulic book uses nor that of the new translation.
Some of the liturgy arrangements are more Russian than Carpatho-Rusyn, though I do have both styles.

Do you need copies of the entire liturgy or specific parts?

Steve,

Are they in English? I'm afraid my Slavic isn't very good. I would need all the people's parts. Thank you!

Vesty

Vesty,

I have both, English and Slavonic texts from various times 1920's to more present day. Some texts are easier to copy than others.

Steve

Steve, do you have any way of scanning those? You could put it on a CD.

I would definitely be also interested in those, scanned or copied.

Our choir uses A LOT of the settings from from Fr. John Bobak's "Divine Liturgy, Plain Chant for Mixed Choir." While I doubt that you can get this anymore, I'd be happy to copy pages and send them to anyone via snail mail. PM me with your address if you want me to do this. You can sing the entire DL from this book, in 4 part harmony. The settings are easy and beautiful. Thanks to Fr. John, of blessed memory, for doing this work so many years ago. Perhaps someone can look into getting this book reprinted by the Seminary Press?
