Continuing in the direction taken in the fi rst two editions (Armenian Liturgical Chant;\u00a02010, and Oral and Written Traditions in the Byzantine Chant in Italy, 2011), this year\u00a0the one-day seminar in the series \u201cVoice and Sound of Prayer\u201d will also be devoted to\u00a0an ecclesiastical musical tradition from the Christian East: the Melchite tradition.
\nStrictly speaking the term melchite means a Catholic church sui iuris practising the\u00a0Byzantine rite in Arabic and headed by the Patriarch of Antioch, based in Damascus\u00a0(Syria). At this seminar, however, the expression Melchite Liturgical Chant will also stand\u00a0for the liturgical musical heritage of the Orthodox Christians practising the Byzantine\u00a0rite in Arabic in the Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. All these\u00a0churches have common roots and share not only the geographical extent but also the
\nfeatures of their respective liturgical-musical traditions.
\nToday, like the Orthodox Arabs under the Patriarchate of Antioch, the Melchites \u00a0(also called \u201cEastern Catholics\u201d, \u201cByzantine Catholics\u201d or \u201cGreek Catholics\u201d) follow the\u00a0Greek variations of the Byzantine rite as regards leadership, theology and spirituality.\u00a0Moreover,\u00a0both communities stand out from the other Eastern Christians because\u00a0along with Greek they use Arabic as a liturgical language (until the 17th century Syriac\u00a0was also used in the liturgy).<\/p>\n
