The Ancient Christian Music of the Coptic Liturgy........2004-08-09

_Coptic Liturgies_ as sung by the Ensemble David is an excellent recording of ancient Christian chant and liturgy from Egypt. Having recently attended an actual Coptic Orthodox liturgy (in the US) I was surprised in retrospect how genuine this music sounds. Most of the chanting is done in Coptic, the pre-Arab language of ancient Egypt written in the Greek alphabet. Several Greek phrases were incorporated into the Coptic liturgy such as the well-known "Kyrie elision" prayer ("Lord have mercy"). The liturgy also makes extensive use of Arabic as well. It is sung to a simple rhythm and accompanied by two types of musical instruments: symbols and a triangle. There is some speculation that knowledge of ancient Egyptian funeral rites had a later influence on how the early Church set up its liturgical celebrations. There could be similarities between mummification rituals and devotion to Christ who died and rose bodily from the grave. In all, this CD provides a great sampling of a chant that has both similarities and yet remains distinct from other Christian chants such as the Gregorian and Byzantine.

I bought this in paris, france 2000 at the institut du monde arabe for the exhibition of coptic art and life. The exhibit was excellent and this was the music they played and it is an excellent CD.

excellent, deeply moving spiritual music from an ancient christian sect of egypt. i like the "Liturgies of Coptic Orthodox" better which is under the classical section because it is an actual holy week recording. it is much better. but this is great. both are a must. relaxing and deeply meditative and contemplative. you feel like you are in a christian village in egypt on a sunday.
