Byzantine music is the most amazing and beautiful music in the world! Music from the heavens. I'm a Hindu and I found this beautiful. Hive account@liondani If i were to hear one last song before I die this would be it the recording made by Capella Romana, a fantastic choral group, of an ancient Byzantine hymn called Cherubic Hymn in Mode 1 (you can find it on YouTube). The engineers found a way to reproduce the sound of Hagia Sophia, an ancient church opened in 535 or so in which this chant was performed. The sound of it is amazing: it’s like Gregorian chant or Middle Eastern chant over a Tibetan bass.
