FAQ About The Influence of Byzantine Music on Eastern European Chants
What is Byzantine music?
Byzantine music is a form of medieval music that crafted the liturgical chant traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Originating during the Byzantine Empire, it is characterized by its monophonic, or single-line, melody, which served as a foundation for later developments in Eastern European spiritual music traditions. Its melodic and modal structures were intended to enhance worship and elevate spiritual experiences.
