soupy, I hope to record much of this as soon as I finish the non-canonical gospels. My dilemma is this: Should liturgies be 'performed' as a DR? (I think yes.) (I think no.)

On a more serious note, it would be a kind of dramatic reading. Or, really, a recording with three or four voices with their own parts.
