The Nine Odes are as follows:
Originally, these odes were chanted in their entirety every day, with a short refrain inserted between each verse. Eventually, short verses ([[troparion|troparia]]) were composed to replace these refrains, a process traditionally inaugurated by Saint [[Andrew of Crete]].<ref>Ware, Kallistos, ''The Festal Menaion'' (Faber and Faber, London, 1969), p. 546.</ref> Gradually over the centuries, the verses of the Biblical Canticles were omitted (except for the ''Magnificat''), and only the composed troparia were read, linked to the original canticles by an [[irmos]]. During [[Great Lent]], however, the original Biblical Canticles are still read.
