Abstract
\nThis seminar will concentrate on the historical musical relations between the Constantinapolis oriented Byzantine Chant tradition and the related Church music traditions in the surrounding Orthodox geography. The musical examples will cover chants selected from the regions lying in the north, south, west and east of Constantinapolis in an effort to answer the question: How did the music in churches of Russian, Bulgarian, Armenian, Syrian and Nestorian etc. communities interact philosophically and musically with the Byzantine chant originating in Constantinople?<\/p>\n
