Music Changes for the 6 parts of the Anaphora of the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great for the 5 Sundays of Lent
During the 5 Sundays of Lent we celebrate the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, which is very similar to the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom differing primarily in the priest’s prayers of the Anaphora, which are more penitential, and in the hymn to the Mother of God (In you, Lady full of grace…).
The music for these 4 parts in the Anaphora changes:
– It is right and just to worship . . .
– Holy, holy, holy. . .
– The Two Amens at Concecration
– We sing of You, we bless You. . .
– In you, Lady full of grace . . .
– And remember all men and all women.
Below is the pdf copy of the music for thesesix parts. The music and recording is also incorporated below in the Troparia for the Fifth Sunday of Lent.

Let us the faithful acclaim and worship the Word,*
co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit,*

For He willed to be lifted up on the cross in the flesh,*
to suffer death and to raise the dead*
by His glorious resurrection.

Text: Fifth Sunday of Lent, In you, Lady full of grace ...
Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting’:
In you,* Lady, full of grace,* all creation rejoices,*
the world of angels* and the human race.*
Sanctified temple spiritual paradise,*
boast* of virgins,* God* took flesh from you*
and became a child;* He was God* before* the ages.*
He made your womb* a throne* and made it*
more encompassing* than the heavens.*
In you*, Lady full of grace,* all creation* rejoices,* glory be to you.
