Byzantine

Byzantine music is a deeply spiritual genre rooted in the liturgical traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is characterized by its modal system, intricate vocal harmonies, and use of ancient Greek and Middle Eastern musical scales. This genre is primarily vocal, often performed a cappella by choirs or soloists, with a focus on conveying the sacred texts' deep emotional and spiritual messages. Notable for its melismatic singing, where multiple notes are sung on a single syllable, Byzantine music creates a transcendent auditory experience. Its rich tapestry of sound evokes the spiritual ethos of Orthodox Christianity, often performed in church services, as well as in cultural and academic contexts.
