Comment posted Qambel Maran- Syriac chants from South India- a review and liturgical music tradition of Syriac Christians revisited by M Thomas Antony.

Dear Admin,

Thank you for the comment. I bought the CD from PAN Records directly. I paid Euros 20/GBP 15( including postage) via paypal and they promptly posted the CD in a few days. They can be contacted via e mail info@panrecords.nl and they will advise regarding payment.

The contact e mail for Christian Musicological society is info@thecmsindia.org.

To be honest, when Bernard Kleikamp of PAN records gave me permission to put 2 clipsin the article for listening, I found it very difficult to choose as all of them were equally good. I think we all should pay thanks to late Fr. Abel for preserving these tunes in our Qurbana when he translated them to Malayalam and Rev. Dr. Palackal for this great work to revive our great tradition.

I think Fr Palackal’s doctoral thesis involved studies about “Octoechoes” of antiochien rite also but as far as I am aware, there is no music CD like Qambel Maran with it.

The CD comes with an informative booklet. The English translation and transliteration of the text is available to download at www.cmsindia.org but it doesn’t open for me probably due to incompatibility of different versions of MS word. Fr. Palackal has kindly sent me a copy of it.
