Holy Week hymns explanation

Shenouda 92

To whomever may help,

I am trying to find information regarding all the long Holy week hymns and I'm not having much luck using the internet. Things such as their author, date of composition, and explanation of how the hymns follow the tune they do in regard to their words. I have found a few articles of our late Pope Shenouda and a few more articles on coptic hymns.net.

Can anyone explain some of the following or point me in the right direction please?
Evlogimenous, Ke eperto, Long agious, ti epistoli, golgotha, Pek ethronos, Av echni non, Tai shori, Ti shori, Tenen (apocalypse), Doxasi o theos emon (apocalypse)

Thank you.

you haven't had much luck because there is simply not much out there about hymns in general. actually the things that you found about Holy Week are probably the most you'll get because it is the holiest week of the year so ppl work on trying to explain the hymns.

don't stop searching and maybe you can post what you found here.
