The Archdiocesan Department of Religious Education, together with the Department of Internet Ministries, has provided Orthodox Christians throughout the world with a wonderful opportunity to study and learn Byzantine Chant. Simply go to chant.hchc.edu. There you will find a multimedia presentation of many hymns of the Orthodox Church. Each hymn is presented in Byzantine and Western notation, chanted in Greek and English, by both a male and female. In addition to the hymns, the web site also presents information regarding the major feasts of our Faith, including an explanation of the Icon, theology, history, rubrics, Scripture, and canons concerning these Feasts. The program also includes a section instructing visitors on how to read Byzantine notation.
