Coptic chant

Coptic chant is a traditional form of Christian liturgical music used by the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt. It involves sacred vocal singing, characterized by monophonic melodies—meaning a single melodic line without harmony—sung in the ancient Coptic language. The chants are deeply spiritual, emphasizing reverence and devotion during church services. They often feature intricate melodies and rhythmic patterns passed down through generations, creating a meditative and ceremonial atmosphere. Coptic chant plays a vital role in worship, fostering community, spiritual connection, and continuity of tradition within the Coptic Christian faith.
