Akathist to the Holy Virgin

You can listen to the Akathist  to the  Holy Virgin, sung by the Georgian Harmony Choir and Nana Peradze, on the YouTube link below.

According to Orthodox Wiki,
"The word akathist itself means 'not sitting.' The akathist par excellence is that written in the 6th century to the Theotokos. In its use as part of the Salutations to the Theotokos service (used in the Byzantine tradition during Great Lent), it is often known by its Greek or Arabic names, Chairetismoi and Madayeh, respectively."
