Tune from Ancient Chrsitianity...very old...Early Christians...You can hear the Middle Eastern Influence...predates the Muslim Religion...Chant=a Prayer that is Sung Christ have mercy upon us, Lord have mercy upon us.” The Christian church arose in the 1st century in the Near East (present-day Syria, Israel, Turkey, Iraq, etc.) The capital of the eastern branch of the Christian church was established in the 4th century in Byzantium [Constantinople]–present-day Istanbul. “Byzantine Chant was heavily influenced by Syrian chants, especially since the Orthodox liturgy is largely based off older Antiochian and Cappadocian liturgies. There’s no reason why Byzantine chant should not sound eastern, it came from the middle east before Islam” https://youtube/watch?v=xmkhk9Z8Lu4
