If it's a Byzantine Chant, it don't be in greek? Sorry, but it's on english and in my opinion, greek is better or even, latin.

@Aghastancred Well Byzantine Chant refers rather to a mode or way of chanting, there is no language barrier, although some hymns were set to Greek, almost all have been transcribed so that everyone can enjoy the beauty of the Byzantine Tradition in their own language which in my opinion is an amazing thing!

Very happy to hear this in English. How wonderful, all ears should be able to hear in their own language such worshiping!

@Aghastancred there are entire arabic and slavonic editions of byzantine music collections. What do you call those? BESIDES, this is NEO or Post-Byzantine Chant if you're going to split hairs. But for the sake of expediting one's desire to hear Byz music, especially new transcriptions, why not just call it Byz Chant?

This chant is ridiculously amazing. seriously incredible. thank you for sharing!! <3

@SWRTheTruth33 Well, I understand, but if you write "byzantine chant" without any other words, almost every one will see this video looking for a greek chant. I think you can write something like "byzantine style chant", for example. That's my opinion, because I was looking for a greek byzantine chant.

Pd: I'm not sure, but the "byzantine style chant" have a speciffic name.
