Byzantine music is the music created and developed during the era of the Byzantine Empire. It is divided into secular music, for which we do not have much information due to the fact that it was not recorded, and ecclesiastical music, about which we know more. Byzantine ecclesiastical music is modal and based on the system of sounds which, in turn, are based on the Ancient Greek modes. Its notation was invented as an aid to the oral tradition. In contrast to the notation found in Western European music, Byzantine notation is based on ekphonetic symbols for readings and neumes for chants, which do not symbolize specific tonal heights but intervals, as well as rhythms or modes of performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-690f7f9 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"690f7f9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-af41930\" data-id=\"af41930\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a04efd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2a04efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Byzantine Choir of Heraklion  <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85cda20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85cda20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The establishment of the Heraklion Byzantine Choir in 1986 by G.
