Byzantine Chant in Arabic – Orthodox Music CD
This fascinating recording presents a wide selection of rarely-heard Arabic Byzantine chants, sung (in Arabic) with considerable skill and authenticity. To the uninitiated listener, this will open up an entirely different sound universe of Orthodox liturgical chant–one that is quite ancient and probably close to the singing of Apostolic times.
The titles are given in both Arabic and English, but no text translations are given.–V. M. –Dr. Vladimir Morosan
