Such beautiful voices and harmony. I never tire of hearing this over and over again. It transports you to a place where there is no time or space, a place you long to be in awe, reverence and humility, worshiping the Creator and Lord God. Thank you 🙏❤️🙏❤️✝️🌹🌹🌹
this is nice...now think about this: records show us that in sundays, Hagia Sopha housed up to 250-300 psalts that were responding to the liturgy. That was a feast for the ears. I myself had tha rare chance to visit Sophia in December and there were little to no visitors except me, my wife and some friends. I sang a piece of Agios o Theos, I tone by Ioan Palasis...the resonnance blew me...its really breathtaking...
I wonder about this with the new Muslim militancy in Turkey and the gravitational pull toward making HS a mosque again. When the Pope visited a while ago there were precautions against prayer. Correspondingly Erdogan opened a space in the building to Muslim prayer last year. Odd since it seems to be agreed that the Muslim god and the Christian god are the same god.
My guess is that Erdogan will get his wish and it will become a mosque again. Such a shame as it's a beautiful cathedral built in honor of our Lord. That said, the building is only a building, and the church of our Lord will continue unto the ages, even without it. Lord Have Mercy!
Not one of the nations of Europe will respond to a call to crusade; the incumbent Pope will never call the Tenth Crusade anyways. The Age of Crusading is long past. Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire will never return. The landmass of Asia Minor will forever be the nation of Turkey. The former Constantinople will remain Istanbul. Hagia Sophia will never be an Eastern Orthodox cathedral again, and Patriarch Bartholomew will never set foot in it, nor will any of his patriarchal successors. That is the sad but very real truth of things. The Holy Spirit departed on May 29th, 1453 as observed by many; a strange but glorious light rising from the Hagia's dome and disappearing into the sky. The death of Christianity in Anatolia.

I'm a novice chanter and I sing this hymn during Divine Liturgy, albeit in Dutch. This choir has a level of skill I can never hope to obtain. God bless you all!
Κατά τον Άγιο Παίσιο αυτή η κίνηση του Ερτογάν σημαίνει το τέλος της σημερινής Τουρκίας. Όπως είπε ο Άγιος Παίσιος σε αξιωματικό του Ελληνικού στρατού που τον επισκέφθηκε "Την Πόλη θα την πάρουμε στη ζωή μας". Συνεπώς, σύντομα στην εκκλησία της "Σοφίας του Θεού" θα ολοκληρωθεί η λειτουργία που διακόπει το 1453 μ.Χ. και στη συνέχεια θα λειτουργεί στον αιώνα των αιώνων ως Η Εκκλησία της Ορθοδοξίας και όλων των Χριστιανών.

Beautiful. A worshipful hymn and a tribute to the Eastern Romans. A song sung for over a thousand years. I trust that we will sing it in heaven.

yes = correct translation and a pivotal moment of contemplation in the Byzantine/Orthodox liturgy + moves the congregation into the liturgy of the sacrifice after that of the word....
So beautiful and thank you so much for this. It is wonderful to hear the acoustics of that wonderful Church. And especially in authentic Byzantine chant still used by the Eastern Orthodox Church today. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing to hear. The music carried me to the time of the early Christian church. Many such places, that as an older man, I might not have a chance to see. Or yet stand in the midst and listen. Thank you.
I had an opportunity to listen to their live performance recently and i had to say it was a rare experience that i would cherish. Their voices were so harmonious with each other and had left such an impressionable serenity into my mind. It was very comforting and the location happened to be in a catholic church which doubled its impact. They were truly incredible and i hope to have another opportunity to meet them again.
Absolutely Divine! And a piece of information: Hagia Sophia in Greek means Saint Sophia and Holy wisdom with the 2nd being the proper for this great temple. The Byzantines dedicated this church to the Holy Wisdom (of God)! Not to be confused with Saint Sophia. Thank you...
This music grips the soul and transports it into another dimension free of all worldly and material constraints. It is the embodiment all at once of ceaseless suffering yielding to the inevitability of universal salvation.
I found this video after an article in the New York Times and I am very impressed with the results. Thanks for those responsible for recreating the acoustics of a different space than the one where the recording was made and congratulations for the members of Capella Romana.
And now it’s back to a Mosque. Should be returned to a church so that service can be held again. This is a very important historical church. I don’t understand how there isn’t outrage over the current state of affairs in Turkey.
Especially infuriating since they have absolutely zero use for the entire structute and the resonance it produces along with the pattern of the surface as they cover it with carpets anyway.
It seems incredible to me that the singing is absolutely authentically Greek Orthodox in terms of vocal production, intonation, ornamentation, pronunciation, etc., yet most of the singers are probably not of Greek heritage nor Orthodox background. Μπράβο! You've done something very special here, and it deserves wide attention.
I believe the founder of Capella Romana is Greek and has some position with St. Vladimir Seminary. Other members of their leadership are involved the Church as well. I think they have a bishop as an honorary board member too. It sounds authentic because in most ways, it is authentically Orthodox.
It is the moment where angels come down and enter the big gate of the church.. and the holly spirit spreads all over the land for miles .. this is the moment where you can prey with all your strength , and prey will reach to God straight forward with no fear … limitless… it is the moment where the sky and earth become one.. it is the moment where God enters the holy community.. for the bless … this is a leaving miracle.. this is the mercy of our living God in the ages…
I am a muslim and we will conquer constantinople in the near future and we will return hagia sophia to the orthodox brothers and apologize this is a prophecy of our prophet (PBUH) but dont worry about this donkies in the comment section they cannot do nothing about its matter if time after the great war(armaggedon) constantinople will be conquered peace to you brother
I went to Istanbul last month. Listening to this recording, imagining this sound in Hagia Spophia, the word peace springs to mind: Hagia Sophia is in a way a symbol for peace, how different cultures can live together, side by side, respecting each other believes - something we we could really do with in this time and age..... The sound of these voices manages to capture this peaceful harmony. Thank you and congratulations to everbody involved in this project!
If only! Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox church and the spiritual center of the Eastern Church. When the fragment of the Eastern Roman empire was finally conquered in 1453, HS was turned into a mosque - its mosaics were covered over. All traces of Christian iconography were obliterated. In the 1930s, it was turned into a museum and the old images were gradually restored. The restoration since then has been endless. When I went there in 2015, half of the nave was covered with scaffolding. The harmony is fading with the modern zealous Turkish government. It turned the Hagia Sophia church in Trebizond back into a mosque after extensive restoration work on its mosaics. It has been inciting calls to turn the HS in Istanbul into a mosque as well. That would be a terrible loss to the non-Muslim world and perhaps to the Muslim and Turkish world that values the art of the past.
Hagia Sophia is now a symbol of Islamic terror for Eastern Europe and Orthodoxy. Read its history and what the Ottomans helped by the templars did. If anything it is a symbol of war, of pain and regret and of why different cultures CANNOT live side by side. The Ottomans enslaved and killed Eastern Europeans and the Catholic Church helped them. Children were taken as sex slaves from all countries in Eastern Europe. I'm certain you are well intentioned and probably a little bit too idealistic, but please read the history of our side of Europe.
Sorry lady, you’ve got it all wrong. Hagia Sophia was the greatest Christian church for centuries, the center of one of the greatest Christian empires, the eastern hellenized Roman Empire. Couldn’t be more fanatically Christian than this. Turkish tribes came from Mongolia to the shores of Asia Minor as late as 10th 11nth c. They concerned Byzantium because of internal strife and enslaved millions of people and destroyed Hellenism. 4 hundred year later after endless resistance and constant revolutions our ancestors repossessed a very small part of the Empire mainland Greece and the islands. Unfortunately for political reasons European scholars had buried the history of bysantine empire, the greatness which exceeded in every aspect any other great European one. And the crucial role that it has played by charismatic emperors and generals for repelling for a thousand years all the barbaric nations ( Persians, Arabs etc.) from Europe giving the great European nations the chance to flourish and create the modern western civilization.
@@stephenchakwin4894 It is tragic that the Islamic world is relentlessly destroying the Christian heritage that they conquered and inherited. The consolation is that the Lord is a God of beauty and this song and its incredible setting are merely a preview of heaven. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
This is one of my favorite Capella Romana performances. What is the likelihood that the ensemble might record a full Imperial-style Divine Liturgy using this acoustic technology? I've listened to this recording hundreds of times. Thank you for this taste of heaven. May I please have more?
That's beautiful! I wish Istanbul/Constantinople could retain both it's Muslim and Orthodox culture. Like share the Hagia Sophia for performances such as this.
it is simply stupid that we need science and lots of funds to "replicate" acoustics of a building which is always available. i hope i will join a christian hymn singing session there as a turkish muslim one day

This is beautiful. Can someone tell me what they're saying between 6:10 - 7:02 before "basileon"? I couldn't figure from the transliteration of the hymn.
Hi... it is called a "terirem"... phonetics, syllables without meaning, like a musical extension. forums.orthodoxchristianity.net/threads/terirem.55823 Some excerpts from the article "St. Augustine refers to the ecstatic nature of wordless jubilation, and both he and St. Ieronymos identify the same with the early Christian concept of glossolalia [PL XXXVII, 1272 and PL XXVI, 970]. Commentators agree that such praise was a human imitation of the ceaseless chants of angels"

You are confused. The Eastern Orthodox are in communion with the "chair of St. Peter". We always have been, since the very beginning. In Acts we are told that the first Christians were in Antioch, and Peter was bishop of Antioch for 12 years before going to Rome. Here it is, some 2,000 years later and I'm a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. We're still here, celebrating the Divine Liturgy. R.C.'s dont seem to be aware of that little fact.

@@tuftynuts let's be honest, those warring in the name of gods, are doing it for gold, land, and glory, not a god. That's just the excuse given to the commoners
I think you totally forget the most bloody and brutal mass murders of the entire history of humanity were commited by Athiest secularists. Human corruption is not limited to religious people. Also war in of itself is not bad especially in defence of the christian world in the ancient days. What would you do it the enemy was on your doorstep ready to take your children forcefully into their idea of the world?
You're right Only the orthodox and oriental churches (coptic, maronites etc. ) are still christians. Western "christians" in west-europe and America (catholics and protestans) went astray, because the don't follow Jesus anymore.
@@zhaw4821 I am serious. let's just look at the protestant cults in the US. On the right a bunch of racist, nationalistic, warmongering hypocrites on the left degenerate PEOPLE spreading things like gay marriage, gender and LGBT ideology.
It's beautifully done. However, I wonder if people had that much of a sense of rhythm in chant during that early era. Seems like it would have been a lot looser, more ecstatic
Maggie Duffey The tradition in the Church has certain rhythms for each Tone. Ecstaticism would destroy the rhythmic nature of the Tone. Also, "looser" would mean "mush" in this acoustic.
@@rocoreb , just recognizing the "time" was not bound by beat. I'm not sure how solidified that concept would have been. Certainly not in terms of western consciousness. It was coming but it wasn't fully incarnated in the human being yet. To me, time and rhythm would have been more about times of day, sun and moon, seasons. I just don't feel like people would have felt rhythm in that way, especially with word and prayer. Seems almost like we would not have been that incarnated yet - still coming down to earth. Just a feeling and also my sense when I have sung chant like Hildegard.
@@chelseahuber9331 no, a sense of rhythm is inherent in all humans, even deaf ones. Even the word rhythm is ancient Greek. What you're describing is the melismatic nature of medieval chants. But just because they didn't write it on paper like we do doesn't mean they didn't understand the concepts of time and tempo, especially the Greeks.
@@chelseahuber9331 Orthodox chanting is not plain singing. It's more complex, technical and specialised than common singing. Orthodox chanters are vocally superior to common singers. Every note you hear has a purpose and a reason behind it.
How can you pray to Allah, when you know that Hagia Sophia is an Orthodox church and that frescoes of Lord Jesus Christ and the Mother of God are above you? That, I can not understand ...

How is this pagan? It's a traditional Byzantine Orthodox chant. The Byzantines were Christians. Even though there is Muslim and pagan music vaguely similar to this, this is uniquely Christian spiritual music.

Στάνφορντ έκανε δουλειά έκανε μια δουλειά αντάξια του ονόματος του.
How enchanting... Wow, very synced and performed to perfection. I can listen to it for hours and at any given time.
All you need to do is go to a Greek Orthodox Church on a Sunday morning.
Relentlessly holy.
Christian, Jewish, Muslim, atheist, we are all brothers. Let us love one another and live in peace...
You have the right mind and this is what God intended!
No.
It seems incredible to me that the singing is absolutely authentically Greek Orthodox in terms of vocal production, intonation, ornamentation, pronunciation, etc., yet most of the singers are probably not of Greek heritage nor Orthodox background. Μπράβο! You've done something very special here, and it deserves wide attention.
I believe the founder of Capella Romana is Greek and has some position with St. Vladimir Seminary. Other members of their leadership are involved the Church as well. I think they have a bishop as an honorary board member too. It sounds authentic because in most ways, it is authentically Orthodox.
Υπέροχη χορωδία, άριστη χοραρχία, θαυμάσιο άκουσμα!!! Καλή συνέχεια.
Beautiful touching the soul
Excellent! Such musicianship. Well done.
Physical resonance. Perfect for meditating. Thank you!
Praying is much more effective than meditation.
It is the moment where angels come down and enter the big gate of the church.. and the holly spirit spreads all over the land for miles .. this is the moment where you can prey with all your strength , and prey will reach to God straight forward with no fear … limitless… it is the moment where the sky and earth become one.. it is the moment where God enters the holy community.. for the bless … this is a leaving miracle.. this is the mercy of our living God in the ages…
Angelic...
Hagia Sofia must be reconquer by the Orthodox Christians
I am a muslim and we will conquer constantinople in the near future and we will return hagia sophia to the orthodox brothers and apologize this is a prophecy of our prophet (PBUH) but dont worry about this donkies in the comment section they cannot do nothing about its matter if time after the great war(armaggedon) constantinople will be conquered peace to you brother

I went to Istanbul last month. Listening to this recording, imagining this sound in Hagia Spophia, the word peace springs to mind: Hagia Sophia is in a way a symbol for peace, how different cultures can live together, side by side, respecting each other believes - something we we could really do with in this time and age..... The sound of these voices manages to capture this peaceful harmony. Thank you and congratulations to everbody involved in this project!
If only! Hagia Sophia was a Christian Orthodox church and the spiritual center of the Eastern Church. When the fragment of the Eastern Roman empire was finally conquered in 1453, HS was turned into a mosque - its mosaics were covered over. All traces of Christian iconography were obliterated. In the 1930s, it was turned into a museum and the old images were gradually restored. The restoration since then has been endless. When I went there in 2015, half of the nave was covered with scaffolding. The harmony is fading with the modern zealous Turkish government. It turned the Hagia Sophia church in Trebizond back into a mosque after extensive restoration work on its mosaics. It has been inciting calls to turn the HS in Istanbul into a mosque as well. That would be a terrible loss to the non-Muslim world and perhaps to the Muslim and Turkish world that values the art of the past.
Hagia Sophia is now a symbol of Islamic terror for Eastern Europe and Orthodoxy. Read its history and what the Ottomans helped by the templars did. If anything it is a symbol of war, of pain and regret and of why different cultures CANNOT live side by side. The Ottomans enslaved and killed Eastern Europeans and the Catholic Church helped them. Children were taken as sex slaves from all countries in Eastern Europe.
I'm certain you are well intentioned and probably a little bit too idealistic, but please read the history of our side of Europe.
Sorry lady, you’ve got it all wrong. Hagia Sophia was the greatest Christian church for centuries, the center of one of the greatest Christian empires, the eastern hellenized Roman Empire. Couldn’t be more fanatically Christian than this. Turkish tribes came from Mongolia to the shores of Asia Minor as late as 10th 11nth c. They concerned Byzantium because of internal strife and enslaved millions of people and destroyed Hellenism. 4 hundred year later after endless resistance and constant revolutions our ancestors repossessed a very small part of the Empire mainland Greece and the islands. Unfortunately for political reasons European scholars had buried the history of bysantine empire, the greatness which exceeded in every aspect any other great European one. And the crucial role that it has played by charismatic emperors and generals for repelling for a thousand years all the barbaric nations ( Persians, Arabs etc.) from Europe giving the great European nations the chance to flourish and create the modern western civilization.
vana kanderaki συγχαρητήρια!
@@stephenchakwin4894 It is tragic that the Islamic world is relentlessly destroying the Christian heritage that they conquered and inherited. The consolation is that the Lord is a God of beauty and this song and its incredible setting are merely a preview of heaven. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!
excellent
This is one of my favorite Capella Romana performances. What is the likelihood that the ensemble might record a full Imperial-style Divine Liturgy using this acoustic technology? I've listened to this recording hundreds of times. Thank you for this taste of heaven. May I please have more?
Ως τον Βασιλέα των ολων υποδεξομενοι!!!!!!!!
UNE EXCELLENTE SYNCHRONISATION
Hellas and Orthodox for ever. 🇬🇷🙏
Amazing. That's all I can say.
Who would put thumbs down for this?
Αμήν!
Amazing!
I 'am christian chatolic but i loves the chant orthodox
Heretic
Dear god 😮
That's beautiful! I wish Istanbul/Constantinople could retain both it's Muslim and Orthodox culture. Like share the Hagia Sophia for performances such as this.
it is simply stupid that we need science and lots of funds to "replicate" acoustics of a building which is always available. i hope i will join a christian hymn singing session there as a turkish muslim one day
You will only when it is freed from occupation.
Katabasis.
Katanyxis.
Katharsis.
P. S. My mother has six toes. Her both brothers have six fingers in one hand. Do you know the Myth ? I happen to be Greek.
Thank you. _
A Heritage.
μυστηριακό...
This is beautiful.
Can someone tell me what they're saying between 6:10 - 7:02 before "basileon"?
I couldn't figure from the transliteration of the hymn.
Hi... it is called a "terirem"... phonetics, syllables without meaning, like a musical extension.
forums.orthodoxchristianity.net/threads/terirem.55823
Some excerpts from the article
"St. Augustine refers to the ecstatic nature of wordless jubilation, and both he and St. Ieronymos identify the same with the early Christian concept of glossolalia [PL XXXVII, 1272 and PL XXVI, 970]. Commentators agree that such praise was a human imitation of the ceaseless chants of angels"
Is this too late?
It is terirem, saw it in the comments
It is the Cherubic hymn of the Orthodox Divine Liturgy
Очень красиво, но немного грустно 🥺
Carolingian transliteration
I ta cherubin mysticos Iconizontes
ke ti zopion triadi ton trisagyon ymnon prophagentes
passa nin biotikin apothometa merinnan·
Os ton vasileon ton olon Ipodoxomeni
tes angelikes aoraton doriforumenon taxasin
alleluia.
IC XC NIKA ☦️

Lirycs of the song?
Carolingian transliteration
I ta cherubin mysticos Iconizontes
ke ti zopion triadi ton trisagyon ymnon prophagentes
passa nin biotikin apothometa merinnan·
Os ton vasileon ton olon Ipodoxomeni

We who mystically represent the Cherubim,
and who sing to the Life-Giving Trinity the thrice-holy hymn,
let us now lay aside all earthly cares
that we may receive the King of all,
escorted invisibly by the angelic orders.
Alleluia
Now imagine what the Halo theme would sound like inside the Hagia Sophia.
Is there a dvd of this anywere to buy?
I wonder if when the EOs come into communion with the apostolic see of the chair of Saint Peter how would this chants sound in Saint Peters Basilica
Vatican: criminial jesuits, gay priests and bishops, money launderring by the Vatican bank and a freemason (Francis) as a pope, lapse in faith by pope & cardinals & bishops,
Any communion with THIS cesspool is impossible.
You are confused. The Eastern Orthodox are in communion with the "chair of St. Peter". We always have been, since the very beginning. In Acts we are told that the first Christians were in Antioch, and Peter was bishop of Antioch for 12 years before going to Rome. Here it is, some 2,000 years later and I'm a member of the Antiochian Orthodox Church. We're still here, celebrating the Divine Liturgy. R.C.'s dont seem to be aware of that little fact.
@@deppo_zweifler9029 in Fact, Yes It is imposible to be in comunion with an unapostolic FEDERATION OF CHURCHES. With ethnocentric churches wich follow heretical Filetism.
@@johangambleputty7658 no, You Fall from the comunion with the Saints and the Apostles, Since the First century The Churches regarded Rome as the APOSTOLIC SEE due to Peter and Paul, no due to the emperor as Constantinople misunderstood . Now Orthodoxy is a Laugh, Patriarchs who are excomunicated ones from the others, Jerusalem against Antioch, Moscow against Constantinople, ¿Do you think that the scandals around your failed ecclesiology is kept secret?
Ανάστασιν Χριστού θεασάμενοι, προσκυνήσωμεν άγιον, Κύριον, Ιησούν, τον μόνον αναμάρτητον.
Τον Σταυρόν σου Χριστέ προσκυνούμεν και την αγίαν σου Ανάστασιν υμνούμεν και δοξάζομεν· συ γαρ ει Θεός ημών, εκτός σου άλλον ουκ οίδαμεν, το όνομά σου ονομάζομεν.
Δεύτερε πάντες οι πιστοί, προσκυνήσωμεν την του Χριστού αγίαν Ανάστασιν· ιδού γαρ ήλθε διά του Σταυρού χαρά εν όλω τω κόσμω.
Διά παντός ευλογούντες τον Κύριον, υμνούμεν την ανάστασιν αυτού· Σταυρόν γαρ υπομείνας δι’ ημάς, θανάτω θάνατον ώλεσεν.
Αναστάς ο Ιησούς από του τάφου καθώς προείπεν, έδωκεν ημίν την αιώνιον ζωήν και μέγα έλεος.
It is not an Hymn....it is a mystagogy that leads you to the sacred mysteries of the belief system of Christianity....
If you're an Atheist just enjoying beautiful spiritual moment with their voices, join me in a non religious appreciation
Why do you have to announce it lol what's wrong with you athiests.
@@theboyisso6960 There's nothing wrong with atheists (note correct spelling). It's the nut-jobs intent on war over sky faeries that have the problem.
@@tuftynuts let's be honest, those warring in the name of gods, are doing it for gold, land, and glory, not a god. That's just the excuse given to the commoners
I think you totally forget the most bloody and brutal mass murders of the entire history of humanity were commited by Athiest secularists. Human corruption is not limited to religious people. Also war in of itself is not bad especially in defence of the christian world in the ancient days. What would you do it the enemy was on your doorstep ready to take your children forcefully into their idea of the world?
I think I grew a third ball.

You're right
Only the orthodox and oriental churches (coptic, maronites etc. ) are still christians.
Western "christians" in west-europe and America (catholics and protestans) went astray, because the don't follow Jesus anymore.
@@deppo_zweifler9029 it is not true. Holy Catholic Church is still legitimate.
@@deppo_zweifler9029
Are you serious????? You talk nonsense
@@zhaw4821 I am serious.
let's just look at the protestant cults in the US.
On the right a bunch of racist, nationalistic, warmongering hypocrites
on the left degenerate PEOPLE spreading things like gay marriage, gender and LGBT ideology.
@@dacius3094
Yes, the catholic church IS legitimate,
but NOT that roman cult in Rome.
It's beautifully done. However, I wonder if people had that much of a sense of rhythm in chant during that early era. Seems like it would have been a lot looser, more ecstatic
Maggie Duffey The tradition in the Church has certain rhythms for each Tone. Ecstaticism would destroy the rhythmic nature of the Tone. Also, "looser" would mean "mush" in this acoustic.
"Seems like it would have been a lot looser, more ecstatic" What does it seem to you like that? How did you reach that conclusion, if I may ask.
@@rocoreb , just recognizing the "time" was not bound by beat. I'm not sure how solidified that concept would have been. Certainly not in terms of western consciousness. It was coming but it wasn't fully incarnated in the human being yet. To me, time and rhythm would have been more about times of day, sun and moon, seasons. I just don't feel like people would have felt rhythm in that way, especially with word and prayer. Seems almost like we would not have been that incarnated yet - still coming down to earth. Just a feeling and also my sense when I have sung chant like Hildegard.
@@chelseahuber9331 no, a sense of rhythm is inherent in all humans, even deaf ones. Even the word rhythm is ancient Greek. What you're describing is the melismatic nature of medieval chants. But just because they didn't write it on paper like we do doesn't mean they didn't understand the concepts of time and tempo, especially the Greeks.
@@chelseahuber9331 Orthodox chanting is not plain singing. It's more complex, technical and specialised than common singing. Orthodox chanters are vocally superior to common singers. Every note you hear has a purpose and a reason behind it.
If you want to speek to people from England, France, Italy ... then you have to speek in their languishes , but to GOD only in GREEK !
You sound like those ultra-nationalistic Serbs now
I wonder which one they sang as they lost Constantinople forever 💀🤣
How can you pray to Allah, when you know that Hagia Sophia is an Orthodox church and that frescoes of Lord Jesus Christ and the Mother of God are above you?
That, I can not understand ...

Marvelous acoustics, although it was difficult to sit through that awful piece of music.

It's not pagan at all
MusicMajorMaestro what do youmean?
How is this pagan? It's a traditional Byzantine Orthodox chant. The Byzantines were Christians. Even though there is Muslim and pagan music vaguely similar to this, this is uniquely Christian spiritual music.
