Why aren't there newer Hymn anthologies?

apsalterrifle33Yesterday at 6:27 PM
In most cases, yes, but at least in the 1900s it seems like no one has tranlated that 4-5000 pages of material from mostly Greek to English. Is that what has changed?
@Dclark Jordanville, HOTCA, and the Old Ritualists under ROCOR have translated a ton of the books already into English.
So most of the liturgical books are already in English in their entirety, and not in anthology form like those 4 hymnals you posted.
DclarkYesterday at 6:28 PM
Ah okay, I think that's the big thing I've been missing; anthologies are no longer needed as complete translations are available.
apsalterrifle33Yesterday at 6:28 PM
Yes, the anthologies are no longer needed
DclarkYesterday at 6:28 PM
Although it's still useful from the POV that the 1900s books are out of copywrite, so I can stick selecfted hymns up on OrthodoxWiki :slight_smile:
Thanks so, so much!

@Dclark You mean hymns other than the standard liturgical propers like the antiphons, kontakia, koinonika, apolytikia, exapostilaria, prokeimena, troparia, etc.?

... and Horologion
