Funeral for Infants

The Exapostilarion “Now am I at rest…” is attested in manuscripts dating back to the tenth century. According to the manuscript tradition, the hymn originally was part of funeral services for the laity, monks, priests, and infants. In modern Euchologia, however, it is retained only in funeral services for priests and infants. The earliest manuscripts classify it as a Hymn of the Guiding Light (Photagogikon), whereas later manuscripts classify it as an Exapostilarion. This Exapostilarion is sung with two verses from Psalm 102 and a verse from Psalm 116. Father Robert Taft notes that Psalm 116 is associated with the Praises of Eastern cathedral Matins. In contemporary practice in certain parts of Romania, especially in Transylvania, the Idiomela of Saint John of Damascus are omitted and “Now am I at rest…” is chanted instead in Third Mode. In his 1890 book of music for the funeral service, Andrew Tsiknopoulos provides a Greek setting in Plagal of Fourth Mode, although this is no longer performed in contemporary Greek usage.
