Glenn Hughes
Songs In The Key Of Rock, Hughes Turner Project II (HTP2)
Frontiers, MTM Records
Interview by Todd K Smith
Its all about learning. I feel I havent achieved anything yet. Im a total workaholic.
~Glenn Hughes
Considered by many to be the Voice of Rock Glenn Hughes has returned to his former glory with exceptional grace and blue-collar polish. Releasing both Songs In The Key Of Rock (his ninth solo effort) and the second Hughes Turner Project with Rainbow/Deep Purple vocalist Joe Lynn Turner in 2003 Hughes roars back to reclaim his rightful crown. For his fans, Hughes has never really left his chosen profession remaining just under the radar creating stellar celebrations in Funk, Hard Rock and Melodic AOR.
As a teenager Hughes teamed with vocalist John Jones and guitarist/keyboardist Terry Rowley of the Montanas to form Trapeze, a band which also featured guitarist Mel Galley and drummer Dave Holland. After their self-titled debut they trimmed the fat to become a relentless power trio bringing the magnitude of Holland, Galley and Hughes together to create one of the greatest record released in 1970, Medusa. The group toured extensively both at home and abroad, and although their fusion of rock and funk was cited as a prime influence on bands like ZZ Top, their commercial success was minimal. In the wake of their third opus You Are The Music Were Just The Band Hughes was invited to replace Rodger Glover in Deep Purple.
In 1974 Deep Purple was going through a number of personal changes bringing in David Coverdale to share vocals with Hughes and mapping out a harder edge with songs like Burn, Lay Down, Stay Down and the blues grinder Mistreated. Hughes remained an integral part of the band even helping to break in Blackmore replacement guitarist Tommy Bolin through the transitional Come Taste The Band (1975). After Bolins tragic overdose, Hughes started to drift. He left Purple to pursue a solo career but battling his own demons became a full time job. The funky Play Me Out surfaced in 1978 to little flair while 1983 saw Hughes paired with Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall for a return to his rock roots.
A series of guest spots kept the bass player working through the 80s. There was Gary Moores Run For Cover and the one off supergroup Phenomena which raised Hughes profile enough to land him a gig on Tony Iommis solo record The Seventh Star (1986), the record was later changed to a Black Sabbath title and a tour ensued. Tragically this saw Glenn Hughes consumed by his disease. Bloated and unfit to tour, he bowed out only days into a world-wide sweep. The only headline for five years was his appearance with the electronic house group KLF on the single America - What Time Is Love?.
It was the extended hand of Shrapnel Records President Mike Varney that finally helped pull Hughes from his own road to ruin. Recognizing Varney developmental deal as his one chance to gain back some elements of legitimacy, Hughes stripped his music down to its fundamental roots and released Blues. Sales began to build especially in Japan where Deep Purple was still king. A live record Burning Japan followed with several revamped Purple classics. Then, with renewed confidence, the singer/bassist focused on an open dialog with his fans in the form of 1997s Addcition. The record broke new ground for Hughes and saw him musically comfortable with a myriad of styles and personal purging.
As a recovering alcoholic, Hughes maintains his creative passion through meditation and a focus on spiritual well-being. His remarkable comeback is stunning as is his prolific music output. Releasing and/or guesting on multiple of albums a year Hughes is one of the most sought after singers and bass players within the Hard Rock genre. We were honored to speak with him from his Southern California home. Heres how it went.
The Cutting Edge: As you approach your most prolific time as a singer, songwriter, producer and musician how have you seen your music develop through Songs In The Key Of Rock to the Hughes Turner Project?
Glenn Hughes: For me the music has to come from a place of love. Im at this point in my life where I can chose the people I work with and I want it to be in a loving nurturing environment. Joe (Turner) and I have had a really long friendship. We are really honest people, and are in a place in our lives where we can bring something to the table that is an honest evaluation of where were at. We make records for a market place that would like to hear those kinds of records and Im excited by that.
TCE: On the HTP records there are times the two of you sound so close that its difficult to tell you apart.
GH: When I produced the records I wanted some parts to sound separate, like this is Glenn and this part is Joe, but I also wanted the harmonies to be seamless. There are a couple songs, especially on the first album where you cant tell whos who. That comes down to our vibrato and the way we breathe which is kind of the same - and we both have the same influences.
TCE: When I spoke to Joe, he mentioned you as one of his influences. He watches you and listens to you sing and trys to immolate that.
GH: Thats very nice of him to say. There have been a lot of discussions lately about HTP and where we want to go with it. We are doing a nine-week touring starting at the end of January. When we first got together a lot of people thought this would be a one-album deal. But there was never a question between Joe and I. We wanted to form a project that would at least last five years. Then we would take a look at it after that. You see were both in a good place in our lives spiritually and thats really important to us and how we communicate with each other musically and professionally.
TCE: The response to both Songs In The Key Of Rock and HTP has been enthusiastic to say the least. It must be very exciting for you to build on the old Deep Purple/Rainbow sound and have the fans clamoring for it.
GH: When I was first writing the song for these records it was for that market. I wanted to make records that Deep Purple, today, are not making. I wanted to return to the classic rock market. Joe and I want to make records that are very melodic with big vocals - dramatic as well as classic rock moments. Sort of like late Seventies early Eighties if you will.
TCE: Then you hit a grand slam with the HTP records.
GH: Thank you, but I still dont want to go too far into a vintage sound. On the other hand, I dont want to go too modern either. Im not competing with new bands. I just want to make classic rock albums.
TCE: Do you consider Songs In The Key Of Rock a classic rock album?
GH: What I wanted to do with Songs is write about stuff Ive been through. So in that way the record does go back to a more emotional root. Occasionally Ill write a song that is more cinematic. Get You Stoned was one of those. I go into a video in my head and let the story unfold like Im watching a movie. The scenario in that song is about a girl who likes to get high and this guy meets her on the road kind of a storybook thing. Classic rock records have those elements in them a story everyone can relate to. Then there is Standing On The Rock which was more for a big stage song. Big number grand anthem.
When I was writing Songs In The Key Of Rock I was coming off Building The Machine. I loved Building The Machine and consider it a great record. I wanted to make my next record similar to it but with more focused on hard rock. Songs to me is one in a trilogy of albums in the hard rock genre. The next record, which Im almost done writing, is even more nastier especially in the groove.
The whole thing about Glenn Hughes is that I really love to sing in many colors. Its been sort of a blessing and a curse for me. Most rock fans only want to hear the full turbo screaming guy and then there is a large number of fans that like the groovier more subdued style. It comes to a point where I have to go one way or another. I mean Ive tried making records where I have it all in there and it really confuses the mainstream listener.
Songs In The Key Of Rock, although its got a couple songs like The Truth and Courageous which are more radio friendly, is pretty much a tip of the hat to 1973. It was an era where I did my last album with Trapeze and latter joined Deep Purple. It is a time I feel very comfortable writing about. My records right now have one step in the past and two in the future. I dont feel its nostalgic I feel its more vintage. If the records are performed and produced correctly they sound fantastic even in todays market.
TCE: There is a whole new set of younger bands that try to look and sound vintage.
GH: Yeah, but Im not sure they capture the spirit of it because they didnt live through it. They maybe jumping on the bandwagon but Im the one driving the bandwagon. My newer, younger fans respond to it because their parent introduced them to it. So they associate the name with the older sound.
TCE: There are parts of SITKOR like Standing On The Rock that remind me of Burn, but then you go to Lost In The Zone and it has this early Rainbow Greensleves feel to it.
GH: I do try to have an element in the song that will take you back. Maybe its a familiar chord, maybe its a verse. At the moment Im writing in just that way. I can write something extremely funky - which is personally what I love. Or I can make records that are melodically in tuned to the fans ear more importantly their soul. By nature Im very rebellious and you can hear that in my music. Joes actually trying to get me to be more so on the next HTP - which is about a year away.
TCE: What was it like working with Jeff Kollman, the guitarist behind Phil Moggs last solo venture?
GH: About 18 months ago I was going to do a couple shows with Paul Rogers. I was going to play bass for him and I got Jeff Kollman to play guitar and Gary Ferguson to play drums. Paul said, Why would you want to do that? Why would you just want to play bass for me? What I wanted him to understand is that Im a student of music. I want to hear other people play, other people sing. I always want to be working with people who I can learn from. I really respected Jeff as a guitar player so we started writing and I felt he was a good fit for the record. He comes from and appreciates my style of music.
There was one funny story in writing with Jeff. Ive never done a Led Zeppelin-esque song on any of my records. I was never a huge fan. Im a big John Bonham fan but when Jeff came up with that groove Higher Places I thought it fit. At first I thought it might be sacrilegious but it was so undeniably Bono that I had to do it as a tribute to him.
TCE: Other influences seep into the recording as well. At the end of Written All Over Your Face you slip in a Beatle reference.
GH: Absolutely. I am a massive Beatle fan. I love Ringo. If youre from the 60s and if your English and a musician the Beatles were it man. You got to tip your hat to the Beatles. It just felt comfortable for me to sing How does it fell to be at the end of the song. It gave it the foundation surprise I was looking for.
Im doing a DVD performance in January to capture some of these songs live. On the DVD will be In My Blood, Higher Places, Written All Over Yours Face, Wherever You Go mixed with songs spanning my thirty-years in this game.
This report of that DVD shoot just in from MelodicRock.com
Reports are in from the Glenn Hughes live show / DVD & CD shoot in LA. Melodicrock regular and writer for www.the-fuze.com, Todd Seely sent me this report: "I just returned from the very intimate Glenn Hughes DVD shoot in LA! The shoot was held at Sound Image studio (run by Jim Crichton of Saga), which was host to about seventy-five lucky Hughes fans. Glenn's band included guitarists JJ Marsh and George Nastos, Impellitteri/Montrose keyboardist Ed Roth and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith. Lending a hand on backing vocals were Santana vocalist Alex Ligertwood and Quiet Riot's Kevin Dubrow. The band blazed through all eras of the Voice of Rock with the following set list: In My Blood . First Step of Love . Medusa . Seafull . Higher Places . Written All Over Your Face . Can't Stop the Flood . Coast to Coast . Wherever You Go . Mistreated . Blue Jade . Getting Tighter . You Keep On Moving
Also in attendance Jeff Scott Soto, guitarist Howie Simon, guitarist Alex Masi, former teen singing sensation Tiffany and Hughes-Thrall/Quiet Riot/WASP drummer Frankie Banali. Glenn also announced another US date - April 12, when he is tentatively scheduled to appear at the Palms in Las Vegas."
Pictures from the event can be viewed via this link: fanforum.ghpg.net
GH: When I played with John Frusciante and Chad Smith at the house of Blues a month ago it was sold out and we played to a very young crowd. Chad and John wanted to play the entire Burn CD so we rehearsed Mistreated, Whats Going On, Lay Down, Stay Down, Sail Away and Burn but 90% of the people had never even heard any of these songs. They were yelling play something we know and Chad and John were laughing. I realized that the younger crowds need to hear these songs live all over again to appreciate them.
To be honest I havent really pursued touring in about ten years, not since Ive been sober. When Joe and I initially got together it was to take our trade to the people. People who wanted to hear more of what we had to offer. I love singing with another singer. I loved it when David and I sang together in Deep Purple that two lead singer thing is fantastic in my opinion. And it really is something nobody does anymore at least not since Temple of the Dog. With Joe it just feels natural.
Were not chasing a double platinum dream. Weve done that. Were making records for people who love that kind of music. Im going to do this for 500 or 15,000. Im still going to play. I write every day of my life. I cant stop. I get a lot of offers to guest with other people and be on their albums and though its a lot of fun, Im out of time and have to keep it to just the ones Im most interested in.
TCE: Would you still be interested in working with David Coverdale?
GH: Id like to think that David and I have something left in the tank. I dont know if it would ever happen. I love singing with soulful rock singers. It makes us both good. There was talk about David and I doing a debut on his next solo record but nothing has come of it so far. I wouldnt be surprised if something came about in the next few years.
Im at the point in my career that I only work with people that are on my same spiritual plain. Im not talking about religious level but one of peace and harmony. We can leave our egos at the door and have a relaxing writing session of shared ideas total love and nurturing. The reason Joe and I work well together is that we can talk openly and honestly with each other.
Im at the point in my sobriety (11 years) that Im on a creative surge right now. The last two years, Ive been in the studio every day and I mean everyday. While most people are smoking whatever and having meetings, Im writing music. A lot of people are talking about music and Im making music. That maybe arrogant but I could probably make four or five albums a year. And feel confident that they are good pieces of work. You have to remember back in the day bands wrote and toured two records a year.
Im almost done with the next record and after the HTP European tour Ill be finishing it up. Im going further back as if Trapeze were still playing today. It will be a nasty, groove-filled record.
TCE: What was it about the early 70s that you think is worth digging back up?
GH: When I was playing in my band Trapeze in 1969 or 70 at the Wolverhampton Tech College. I guess I was about 17 or so and we were opening for a band called Free. This was before All Right Now. It was my hometown and we had just done a killer set. I really didnt know who the band was. These three little geezers walked on to the stage with Simon behind them and blew the place apart. Im telling you I was blown away. Every single one of those guys was unfuckingbelivable. Together they were the best band Ive ever seen to this day. As a band they knew exactly what to do and, more important, what not to do.
I never forgot that feeling. I want people to feel that at our show.
The HTP tour will start the end of January in Russia then go to Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Sweden.

In his novel Sundog , writer Jim Harrison describes Michigan's Upper Peninsula. "...you enter a timbered-over, rock-strewn waste, a land so dense and desolate it became obvious to me that the most redoubtable survivalist couldn't survive...there was nothing but a hard, driving rain and the roar of what I knew must be Lake Superior out there in the night." Harrison's purpose is to set the gloomy tone for the novel to follow, and so he portrays one face of the U. P. There are others, and we'll look at them all, as we sail along the northern shore of this thrusting land.
Moving into Michigan waters, we first pass the mouth of the Black River, then the shores of Porcupine Mountains State Park. Here, the mountainous ridges, the Porkies, as they're known, provide recreation for almost every taste. This 58,000-acre wilderness playground, created by the state in 1945, provides over 80 miles of hiking trails, as well as trails for Alpine and cross-country skiing. There's also plenty of room for rockhounding, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and swimming. The name, by the way, came from the local Chippewa at the mouth of the Ontonagon River, who imagined they saw the shape of a porcupine as they looked toward the land off to their west.
We anchor briefly off the town of Silver City. Local deposits of the ore were dwarfed by those over in Canada's Thunder Bay region and today there's little silver found in Silver City, unless it's in display cases in the town's gift shop. Tourists and outdoor enthusiasts can stay overnight here, eat, and buy groceries, gas and camping supplies. Choices for night life are rather limited.
We push on. Ontonagon lies at the mouth of the river of the same name, about nine miles downstream from the Ontonagon Boulder. This 6,000-pound rock containing a high concentration of copper ore, was revered, first by the Chippewa, then by Detroit businessman Julius Eldred. In 1841 he began a campaign to remove it to his hometown for display. The local Chippewa chief balked. But money talked. It took Eldred two years before he was successful in moving his treasure, using a small railroad car on jerry-built tracks. But the U. S. government moved in, seized the rock, compensating Eldred, and transported it to Washington for display at the Smithsonian. The publicity resulted in a copper rush to the area and Ontonagon was born. Today the town boasts shops, a hospital, post office, camping outfitter, marina, ranger station, museum and lighthouse. Churches seem to dominate. Garrison Keillor fans would feel right at home. His bachelor Lutheran farmers would have their choice of Apostolic Lutheran, Redeemer Free Lutheran, St. Paul Lutheran, and Siloa Lutheran. All the town lacks is Bertha's Kitty Boutique.

Peter Washington (Ken Foree)
Level-headed, no-nonsense SWAT officer, Peter Washington sought escape with fellow officer Roger DeMarco when it became clear that things were falling apart in the world around.

Peter left behind a couple of brothers, but it is not known if he was married or not.
Skills: carpentry, cooking, hunting rifles and performing abortions.
Roger DeMarco (Scott H. Reiniger)
Excitable yet loyal, Roger DeMarco was responsible for bringing the sundry group together. As with Peter, he was working as a SWAT officer when the zombie plague broke. Feeling he would do better with someone like Peter by his side, he invited the colossal trooper along for the trip up north with his pilot friend Stephen and the pilot's girlfriend Fran.
Skills: Hot-wiring trucks, catching bottles of Jack Daniel's and adept at methods of opening cans of Spam.
Stephen "Flyboy" Andrews (David Emge)
Traffic reporter for Philadelphia TV station, WGON, Stephen felt stuck between his loyalty to his pregnant girlfriend, Fran, and the 'boys club' of Peter and Roger. Stephen's main contribution to the group was his ability to fly the helicopter.
Skills: Aviation, photography, comparing the size of his "loaf" with Peter's and just being a plain and simple wuss.
Francine Parker (Gaylon Ross)
Twenty-three year old divorcee, WGON assistant station manager turned zombie killer, Francine Parker at first found dealing with the crisis a crisis in its own, but as time went on she found her place amongst the group and became a positive addition. At the outbreak of the zombie plague she was involved with Stephen, and was carrying his baby.
Skills: Excessive make-up design, washing pots and pans, and shooting the jewelry off store mannequins.

Office of Christmas Day
άχολονθια τής Χρίστον γεννήσεως
St. Cosmos
Translated by Richard Frederick Littledale
Source: Richard Frederick Littledale, ed., Offices From The Service Books of the Holy Eastern Church (London: Williams and Norgate, 1863), pp. 173-208. [188-223]
The following definitions were provided by Rev. John Brownlie. Hopefully, they will help the understanding of those who are not familiar with some of the Eastern practices. Rev. Brownlie wrote that his collections contains specimens of some of the following types of musical forms:—
The great bell sounds, and assembling, we begin the office of the Lights, the Priest being ready, and giving the benediction "Blessed be the kingdom of the FATHER". * * * After the Prefatory Psalm (CIV) the Great Collect is said by the Deacon or the Priest. Then, in order, the "LORD, I call upon Thee" (Pss. CXLI, CXLII), and we recite eight stichoi, and sing the following idiomelic stichera, doubling them.
Second Tone.(3g) Hymn of Germanus.(1")
O come, let us sing unto the LORD, recounting the present mystery.
The mid-wall of partition is destroyed, the sword of flame
Hath turned away, and from the Tree of Life
The Cherubim retreat; and I enjoy
The gladness of the Paradise from which I fell
Through disobedience.
For He, the changeless Image of the FATHER,
The impress of His Eternity, hath taken
The likeness of a servant, coming forth
From His unwedded Mother, but unchanged.
For what He was, that still He did abide,
True GOD; and what He was not He assumed,
Thorough His loving-kindness being Man.
To Him then let us cry: "O Virgin-Born,
O GOD, have mercy upon us." Twice.
Hymn of Anatolius.(1l) Same Tone.
When JESUS our LORD was born of Her,
The Holy Virgin, all the universe
Became enlightened. -
For as the shepherds watched their flocks,
And as the Magi came to pray,
And as the Angels sang their hymn,
Herod was troubled; for GOD in flesh appeared,
The Saviour of our souls. Twice.
The same Tone.
Thy kingdom, CHRIST our GOD, the kingdom is
Of all the worlds, and Thy dominion '
O'er every generation bears the sway,
Incarnate of the HOLY GHOST,
Man of the Ever-Virgin Mary,
By Thy presence, CHRIST our GOD,
Thou hast shined a Light on us.
Light of Light, the Brightness of- the FATHER,
Thou hast beamed on every creature.
All that hath breath doth praise Thee,
Image of the FATHER'S glory.
Thou who art, and wast before,
GOD who shinedst from the Maid,
Have mercy upon us.
The same Tone.
What gift shall we bring to Thee,
O CHRIST, 'since Thou as Man on' earth
I For us hast shewn Thyself?
Since every creature made by Thee
Brings to Thee its thanksgiving.
The Angels bring their song,
The Heavens bring their star,
The Magi bring their gifts,
The Shepherds bring their awe,
Earth gives a cave, the wilderness a manger,
-And we the Virgin-Mother bring.
GOD before all worlds, have mercy upon us!
Glory. Both now. (11) The same Tone.
Hymn of Casia.(13)
When o'er the Earth
Augustus reigned alone
The sway of many rulers closed;
When Thou wast made Man of the Maid,
The varied godheads of the idols fell.
Under one world-embracing rule
The cities came; and. unto the dominion
Of Deity the Gentiles turned in faith.
At Caesar's will the nations were enrolled,
We the Faithful, were enrolled
In the name of Deity, I
Thine to be, Incarnate GOD!
Great is Thy mercy. Glory be to Thee!
Then follows the Entrance, with the Gospel.
"Hail, gladdening Light", (11) and the Lections in
their order, with the Troparia and their stichoi.

- 8, 9, part of 17, 18.
Lection III. Micah IV. 6, 7. V. 2, 3, 4.
Then standing up we say the Troparion.
Second plagal Tone.
In secret Thou wast born beneath the cave,
But as a voice the Heaven Thee proclamed
To all, O Saviour, Who didst send the Star;
And to Thee it brought the Magi
In their faith adoring Thee,
With whom have mercy upon us!
Stichos a: Her foundations are upon the holy
hills, the LORD loveth the gates of Sion more
than all the dwellings of Jacob.
And to Thee it brought &c.
Stichos b: Very excellent things are spoken
of thee: thou city of GOD. I will think upon

And to Thee it brought &c.
Stichos c: Behold ye the Philistines also: and
they of Tyre, with the Morians.
And to Thee it brought &c.
Stichos d: The LORD shall rehearse it when

Lection IV. Isaiah XI. 1—11.
Lection V. Jeremiah (Baruch) III. 35—IV. 5.
Lection VI. Daniel II. 31-37, 44, 45.
Standing up again we Sing the Troparion.
Second plagal Tone.
CHRIST, Thou hast risen from the Virgin,
Spiritual sun of Righteousness,
And the star hath shewn us Thee
The Uncontained,'whom yet a cave contains,
As it led the Magi to adore Thee
With whom we too laud Thy Name,
Giver of Life, to Thee be praise.
Stichos a: The LORD is king, and bath put
on glorious apparel; the LORD hath put on His
apparel and girded Himself with strength.
As it led the Magi to adore Thee, with whom we
magnify Thee, Giver of Life. Glory be to Thee!
Stichos b: He hath made the round world so
sure: that it cannot be moved. Ever since the
world began hath Thy seat been prepared.
As it led the Magi to adore Thee &c.
Stichos c: Holiness becometh Thine house for ever.
As it led the Magi to adore Thee &c.
Glory. As it led &c. Both now. CHRIST, Thou
hast risen. (The whole.) Then, the two follow-
ing Lections.
Lection VI. Isaiah IX. 6—8.
Lection VII. Isaiah VI. IO—I7._VII. 1—4, 9, 10.
Then the Collect, and after the Exclamation,
we sing the Troparion. Then, the Prokeimenon
of the Apostle. (15)
First Tone:
The LORD said unto Me. Thou art My Son,
this day have I begotten Thee.
Stichos: Desire of Me, and I shall give Thee
the heathen for Thine inheritance.

Alleluia. Fourth plagal Tone:
The LORD said unto my Lord.

of the_morning. '

First Tone. Hymn of John the Monk. (11)
Let heaven and earth today
Rejoice in prophecy.
Angels and men, in spirit we exult,
For GOD hath in the flesh appeared
To those who sat in darkness and in shadow,
Born of a Maiden.
The cave and manger shewed us Him.
The Shepherds tell the wondrous tale,
From the' East the Magi bring
Offerings to Bethlehem;
We too, with unworthy lips,
Bring Him praise in angel words,
Glory be to GOD on high,
'And on earth be peace,
For the Desire of the nations now hath come,
He hath come, and He hath saved us
From the bondage of the foe.
Same Tone. Same Author.
Heaven and earth to-day are one,
Since CHRIST is born.
GOD hath come on earth to-day,
Man to heaven hath goneup.
He, Whose essence is unseen,
Is seen to-day in mortal flesh.
Wherefore we in songs of praise
Will send forth our cry to Him.
'Glory be to GOD on high,
And on earth be peace,
Which Thy presence gave to us,
Saviour, glory be to Thee!
Same Tone. Same Author.
To-day in Bethlehem I hear
Angel voices singing, _
Glory to GOD on high, Whose will it is
That peace in earth should be.
Now the Virgin holdeth more
Than the Heavens can contain,
For Light hath risen on the dark,
And the lowly hath exalted,
Who sweetly sing in angel words,
Glory be to GOD on high.
Same Tone.
JESUS, seeing man, once made
In His image and His likeness,
By transgression falling,
Bowed'the heavens and came down,
And unchanged dwelt within the Virgin's womb,
That corrupted Adam there
He might frame anew, to cry
"Glory to Thine Epiphany,
My Redeemer and my GOD".
Glory. First plagal Tone. Hymn of John the Monk.
The Magi, Persian kings,
Knowing of a truth
That Heaven's king on earth was born,.
Led on by a\shining star,
Hastened to Bethlehem;
Bearing with them costly gifts,
Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh;
Falling down they worshipped Him,
For in the cave they saw Him lie,
The Babe Who is before all time.
Both now. Second plagal Tone. Hymn of Germanus.
In Heaven all the Angels sing,
And rejoice upon this day,
And all creation bounds with joy
Because of Him in Bethlehem
Born our SAVIOUR and our LORD.
For all the sin of idols now hath closed,
And CHRIST to all eternity is King.
After repeating the customary prayers, we go
into the Nave, singing the following Idiomelic
Aposticha. (18)
Second Tone. Hymn of Germanus.
A great and passing wonder
Hath been wrought to-day!
A Virgin bears, with unpolluted womb.
The WORD Incarnate is, and yet
Not parted from the FATHER.
Angels and Shepherds praise His Name
With whom we together cry,
Glory be to GOD on high,
And on earth be peace.
Stichos: The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit
Thou on my right hand.
Third Tone. Same Author.
To-day the Virgin bears
The Maker of the world,
Eden gives a cave,
And the Star shews CHRIST the Sun
To those who are in darkness.
With gifts the Magi worshipped,
Illuminate by faith.
The Shepherds saw the marvel,
When Angels sang- and said,
Glory be to GOD on high.
Stichos: The dew of Thy birth is of the womb
of the morning. '

Mother of Him who framed the worlds.
0 depth of the riches, and wisdom, and knowledge of Goo!
She, who brought death upon all flesh,
She, the instrument of sin,
Now, through GOD'S Mother, to the world
Is the first fruits of salvation.
For a Babe is born of her,
GOD All-Holy.
By His birth He seals Virginity,
By His swathes loosing the chains of sin.

He heals the labour-pangs of Eve.

For CHRIQI' hath come to call it back
And to save our souls.

O CHRIST, bring Thou Thy solace unto us,
Who wakefully pour forth our hymn to Thee,
Our Benefactor, and make Thou the road
Easy for us, who glory seek, to tread.

Severing the bitter hate against Him felt,
Ruined the might of our souls' enemy,
Joining the world to essence bodiless,
He made His sire through creation meek.
The people, once in darkness, now hath seen
Light after day from beacon-flame on high;
And the SON brings the Gentiles unto GOD,
His chosen lot, from which all sin hath fled,

'He kept His Virgin Mother undefiled.
CHRIST our GOD in flesh hath come,

Jonah, abiding in the ocean depths,
Longed to come forth and to escape the wave. '
And I, now wounded by the tyrant's dart,
.Implore Thee, CHRIST, Who takest away sin,
To come more swiftly than my sloth deserves.

Seeking to guard our nature, weak of old,
Now strengthens it, to keep it free from woes,

To raise' His children, miserably fallen
And downwards bowed in darkness of their sins.

The Children, reared in piety,
The impious command despising,
Dreaded not the fire's threatening.
But standing in the midst of flame, they sang:
Blessed art Thou, O GOD of our sires.
The shepherds watching saw a wondrous light,
For the glory of the LORD
Around them shone together with the Angel, '
Crying: "Sing, for CHRIST is born." '
Blessed art Thou,' O GOD of our sires!
Suddenly at the Angel's word
The hosts of Heaven cried aloud:
' Glory be to GOD on high,
On earth peace, good will to men,
CHRIST hath shined forth.
Blessed art Thou, O GOD of our sires!
"What is this saying?" spake the Shepherds,
"Let us go and see what has come to pass,
CHRIST the Divine."
Hastening to Bethlehem, they bowed before
Him and His mother, singing:
Blessed art Thou, O GOD of our sires!
The Children, fascinated with the love
Of the Almighty King, made small account
Of the fierce tyrant's impious harangue;
To them the fire yielded as they sang
"Blessed art Thou for aye" unto their LORD.
Built up on high with sevenfold burning heat,
The flame consumes the soldiers terribly,
Yet saves alive the youths, o'er whom a crown
With rushing sound it forms as it roars,
For upon them the LORD abundantly,
In guerdon of their faith, poured down His dew.
Now changed in form, marring the happiness
Of Thy Divinity, Thou hast brought it down,
0 CHRIST impregnable, a bulwark for us men,
Being ineffably incarnate, whence in hope
We pass into the dark abode's from day.
With might invincible Thou hast destroyed
Sin, fierce of look and haughty without bound,
Which wildly raved across a maddened world,
And Thou, our Benefactor, on this day
Freely incarnate, hast delivered them
Whom in her nets she drew along before.
The furnace, shedding dew, portrayed
A type of wondrous portent,
For it does not burn
The youths whom. it received, so too the fire
Of GODhead doth not burn
That Virgin womb which it hath entered.
Wherefore let us chant in song:
"Let all creation bless the LORD,
-And Him for ever magnify!"
The daughter of Babylon draws away
From Sion to herself ~
The captive sons of David, but she sends
Her sons, the Magi, bearing gifts,
To entreat her, daughter of David, who
Hath borne her GOD.
Wherefore let us chant in song:
"Let all creation bless the LORD,
And Him for ever magnify!
Grief turned away the instruments of song,
For Sion's children could not sing
Amidst the bastards, but their exile long
Of Babylon CHRIST looses as He shines,
And also frees
The musical concent of Bethlehem,
Wherefore let us chant in song:
"Let all creation bless the LORD,
And him for ever magnify!"
Babylon received
The spoils of royal Sion, and her wealth
Into captivity,
But CHRIs'r in Sion, with a-guiding star,
Draws to Him Babel's treasures and her kings
Who ga1ed on stars, '
Wherefore let us chant in song:
"Let all creation bless the LORD,
And Him for ever magnify!"
The youths with fire circled, unconsumed,
Are types of her womb, Maid of olden time,
Which wondrously conceived and hath been sealed.
And grace, the only wonderworker, which
Wrought both, now rouses nations unto song.
The whole creation, fleeing from despair,
Hymns ceaselessly in awe the Infant WORD,
Humbled, that by His wandering it may be
Divine, and, fallen as it is, it fears
To bring its prayer unworthy, which would be
Unworthy still, had it in wisdom stood.
O rouser of the Gentiles, Thou hast come
From desert heights, unto Thy pasturagek
The nature of mankind, once rich in flowers,
But ruined now; and Thou hast come to quench
The forceful might of man's great enemy,
Thou Who at Man, and in Thy wisdom GOD.

CHRIST our GOD, Whose Name we magnify.
The Magi, seeing the propitious course
Of the new star, unknown before,
Which late had brightly shined on high,
Followed the track to CHRIST the King,
On earth in Bethlehem born for our salvation.
As the Magi spake:
"Where is He, the Infant King,
Whose Star hath shone?
For we have come to worship Him,"
The angry Herod was disturbed,
Warring with GOD he raged to slay the CHRIST.
Herod marked the time
Of the Star by whose guidance led
The Magi worshipped CHRIST with gifts in Bethlehem,
And led by it
Back to their home, they left behind
The baffled tyrant who the children slew.
Easy it is for us, as free from risk,
Silence to choose through awe, but urged by love
To weave harmonious songs, our task is hard,
O Virgin, wherefore, Mother, grant to us
Might equal to the longing of our souls.
O Holy Mother, as we gaze upon
The faint types and past shadows of the WORD,
Who late hath shined from out the closed gate,
Glorifying Him, the Splendour of the Truth,
We bless, as it is meet we should, thy womb.
The CHRIST-rejoicing people having won,
Its longing and with GOD'S own presence blessed,

Which giveth life, wherefore, spotless Maid,

Matching the hatch is cool, if you're into that sort of thing.
I'll admit it, I've never been one to get all into the whole "match the hatch" deal. I understand it and the idea of matching the hatch makes sense, but it's never really worked for me.
Instead, I sling flies that I can easily see, the trout can easily see and look buggy as all hell. Small stream trout rarely pass up the opportunity to snag a tasty meal, which is why I think matching the hatch is a pretty overrated idea for the most part.
Get the presentation right
How you present your tasty morsel of food is much more important than what it looks like. So before you worry about matching the hatch, make sure you can decently present something that the trout is going to want to eat.
Small stream trout are sketchy as hell and often spook easily. If you're splashing a fly down on the water, drifting it in weird ways and just all around causing some seriously shady looking shit to go down, it won't matter how well you match the hatch, the fish are not buying it. Proper presentation will beat out hatch matching every time.
Be different
I would argue that actually not matching the hatch can be pretty damn successful on small streams. If trout see (and eat) the same thing all day, I'm pretty sure they enjoy seeing something come along that looks all together different.
I love mexican food, love that shit to death, but I don't want it for lunch and dinner both. I like variety and I'm pretty sure that trout do too. Ask them, they'll tell you.
So if you know that everyone is having decent luck with a certain pattern, throw something different. Now don't misunderstand, have that other pattern with you as well. But, sling something else to see if they'll take it and then go to whatever else has been working if you need to. Sometimes it takes seeing something different for trout to get active.
"Look, that guy used orange dubbing instead of olive, I'm not rising for that." – said no trout, ever.
You should always be willing to experiment with your colors and your patterns on small streams. Often times, I've found that trout don't really care what floats by, as long as it looks pretty tasty.
Matching the hatch is cool, if you're into that sort of thing. But don't be afraid to present something that is slightly off key, you never know what might rise and take it.
