Does anyone know of a good video on the internet showing the Byzantine Divine Liturgy?
 
Well, this isn’t precisely a video of a Byzantine Divine Liturgy … but it is a stunningly beautiful video/slide-show from St Elias’ Byzantine Catholic Church just north of Toronto - made to celebrate the occasion of their 30th anniversary:

The link Woodstock posted is the only one that I am aware of. Visually the quality isn`t great but it shows the complete Divine Liturgy and you can hear everything pretty well.
 
Are you looking for a video of the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom or a video of the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Churches’ revised Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostom?

I know many here like to use “Byzantine Catholic” to denote the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church but rest assured, the Metropolia does not have a corner on the term “Byzantine Catholic”.

Futhermore, the Ruthenian Byzantine Metroplia does not represent the full nor “combined and diverse” traditions to which the term “Byzantine Catholic” can apply.
 
Honestly the Byzantine Chant sounds odd when it is English. Is it common for the parishioners to chant as well.

Easy LYR!

Put away the pocket lawyer, we are all aware of this, no need to recite the fine print every time.

No one represents the ‘full nor “combined and diverse” traditions to which the term “Byzantine Catholic” can apply’…
 
I watched the Good Friday Vespers in Florida. Was that the choir chanting “call and response” or the congregation?
 
The Psalms are usually sung antiphonally by the congregation. The cantor is leading one side and the other side sings the next verse and so on. It is not “call and response”. The harmony is not from a choir rather than naturally from the congregation.

later for the stichera at Psalm 140 the cantor does sing the Psalm verse solo while the congration resonds with the stichera.This might be considered a form of call and response.

Some of the chant does sound “odd” in English though still beautiful.

The parishioners (congregation) should chant along. The cantor is only to lead the people not solo (with a few exceptions in vespers and matins).

I realize the medium of the www can exaggerate the “tone” of what is written, but is is indeed necessary to be firm on this point. Why? Because holdencaulfield actually indicvates that he was indeed looking for a Video of the Ruthenian Recension. However, in the OP, he states “Byzantine”.

Obviously, confusion over the use of this term will be forever perpetuated by the Metropolia insistance on “trademarking” the term via including it into the name of it’s Church.
