Axion Estin

Axion estin (Greek: Ἄξιον ἐστίν, Slavonic: Достóйно éсть, Dostóino yesť), or It is Truly Meet, is a megalynarion and a theotokion, i.e. a magnification of and a Hymn to Mary which is chanted in the Divine Services of the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches. It is a troparion and a sticheron composed in honor of the Theotokos (i.e. the Virgin Mary). The same name also refers to a style of icon of the Theotokos.

Hymn

Text

The hymn in Greek is:

One translation of the hymn goes as follows:

History

The second half of the hymn, beginning with the words, "More honorable than the cherubim..." is the older part of the hymn, and is an Irmos attributed to St. Cosmas the Hymnographer († 773). The introduction, "It is truly meet..." was, according to tradition, revealed by the Archangel Gabriel to a monk on Mount Athos.

Liturgical use

The hymn is chanted at Matins, Compline, and other services; but its most important occurrence is at the Divine Liturgy, where it is chanted at the conclusion of the Anaphora. The second half of the hymn, "More honorable…" is frequently chanted before the dismissal which concludes services.

The instrumental section of this piece was then used with modern choreography for a dance which celebrated the cycling descent and reascent of Kore/Persephone. (The one goddess is named Kore [maiden] in the upper world and Persephone [bringer of destruction] in the lower world.) In this way the role of the goddess present in the liturgical chant Axion Esti was resored to Theodorakis’ tune by the choreographer. The words of the oratorio did not fit the theme of the dance Kore, and so I have fitted the original words of Axion Esti to the music, while maintaining the rhythm of the proper chant to these words. As a mark of acknowledgment to the spirit and work of Theodorakis, I have suggested a modern Greek pronunciation of these words. ---- this chant was performed by Romeiko Ensemble #Orthodox #AxionEstin #Byzantine --- Text in Greek: Αξιον εστιν ως αληθως μακαριζειν Σε την θεοτοκον, την αειμακαριστον και παναμωμητον και μητερα του θεου ημον.

    Greek Chant Theotokion "It Is Truly Meet" sung by the Serbian Orthodox Singer Divna Ljubojević (Дивна Љубоjевић) and choir "Melodi". The score is a practical approximation. It is truly meet to bless Thee who didst bring forth God, ever-blessed and most pure and Mother of our God. More honourable than the cherubim, and incomparably more glorious than the seraphim, Thou who without corruption didst bring forth God the Word, and art indeed Mother of God, Thee do we magnify.

    Byzantine Orthodox chant: Axion estin - Αξιον εστιν (Lyric Video)

The instrumental section of this piece was then used with modern choreography for a dance which celebrated the cycling descent and reascent of Kore/Persephone. (The one goddess is named Kore [maiden] in the upper world and Persephone [bringer of destruction] in the lower world.) In this way the role of the goddess present in the liturgical chant Axion Esti was resored to Theodorakis’ tune by the choreographer. The words of the oratorio did not fit the theme of the dance Kore, and so I have fitted the original words of Axion Esti to the music, while maintaining the rhythm of the proper chant to these words. As a mark of acknowledgment to the spirit and work of Theodorakis, I have suggested a modern Greek pronunciation of these words. ---- this chant was performed by Romeiko Ensemble #Orthodox #AxionEstin #Byzantine --- Text in Greek: Αξιον εστιν ως αληθως μακαριζειν Σε την θεοτοκον, την αειμακαριστον και παναμωμητον και μητερα του θεου ημον. Την τιμιωτεραν των Χερουβιμ και ενδοξοτεραν α συγκροτος των Σεραφιμ. Την αδιαφθορως θεον Λογον τεκοθσαν, την οντως θεοτοκον Σε μεγαλυνομεν.

    History

    The second half of the hymn, beginning with the words, "More honorable than the cherubim..." is the older part of the hymn, and is an Irmos attributed to St. Cosmas the Hymnographer († 773). The introduction, "It is truly meet..." was, according to tradition, revealed by the Archangel Gabriel to a monk on Mount Athos.

    Liturgical use

    The hymn is chanted at Matins, Compline, and other services; but its most important occurrence is at the Divine Liturgy, where it is chanted at the conclusion of the Anaphora. The second half of the hymn, "More honorable…" is frequently chanted before the dismissal which concludes services.
