Idrîsî Ensemble - Ότι Θεός / Oty Theos - Old Roman chant (4th-11th c.)

"Oty Theos" out now on streaming platforms. Old Roman chant is a rare window into late antiquity traditions, at a crossroads between the ancient liturgies of Syria, Egypt, Jerusalem and Constantinople. The Greek Alleluias constitute its most precious treasure: an indication of the Roman liturgy from the IV-Vth centuries, then chanted in Greek, a unique vestige of Old Byzantine chant. This particular chant had never been recorded before.
