The famous byzantine Lamentations of the Tomb of Christ, sung during the
Matins of Holy and Great Saturday (Holy Friday evening). The official
name of the hymns is "Εγκώμια", which is greek and means "Praises". The
Praises (although considered being hymns of lament) are chanted in
Plagal 1st and 3rd Tones, which are actually used for chants intended
for triumphant occasions. On this performance parts of all three Staseis
of the Praise are chanted. Note that in the beginning of each part, the
second verse is chanted in Arabic.
