RELIGION

Greeks are Orthodox Christians. Our religion has two sources. The Holy Bible (old & new testaments) and Holy tradition (the writings and acts of the Apostles, Saints, Martyrs and of the fathers of the Church).

BYZANTINE MUSIC

Picture
Byzantine music is the music of the Medieval Roman Empire.  Greek and foreign historians agree that the ecclesiastical tones and in general the whole system of Byzantine music is closely related to the ancient Greek system. Its composing system is the same as the one the Greek traditional songs are composed, a system that remains alive till today because it covers music intervals smaller than the semitone.
