[Premiere] Cherubikon (1820) & Koinonikon (1380) for Lent

Lent is founded on ascetic practice, especially this first week of severe fasting, prostrations and permanent penitent prayer. Ascetic practice refers to every type of intake which may hinder the crystal comprehension of the Divine Will, intake that can be through any of the five senses but also through though or emotion that come from anything other than a holy source or that leads to a holy state of being (keeping in mind that not everything sacred is holy!). That is why the orthodox concept of Metanoia refers to the entirety of the human form and existence, which seeks to purify itself from satanic meanings, means and purposes (satan being a master of disguise), and to beseech to please the Creator and become deified through His Mercy and Benevolence. Orthodox ascetic practice cleanses the noetic functions of the soul, and that is why the best composers, writing and chanting the most complex and intensely soteric music of the church, were the hesychast hermits (laymen or monastics), whose soulic vessels were made able to contain without peril or breaking the substance that the Holy Fire of the inner hearing vision of God opened to them. Lent is also a special time to read the Scriptures with deeper attention, with humility of mind and forsaking of the despotism of self-will to fulfill the will of the Creator, to be reminded of the laws of redemption and to better strive for following them with repenting heart. The theology of the sacraments during Lent is quite special. Here are two fragments from compositions for the Presanctified liturgy - a cherubic hymn by St Makarios and a koinonikon by St Ioannis Kladas, sung at first sight today. Unpublished manuscripts.
