CopticHymns

The Heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church (HCOC) choir was founded in the summer of 2000, under the leadership of Deacon Albair Mikhail. Most choir members are from the church of the Prophet Daniel and the Three Saintly Youth in Mississauga, Canada. HCOC also has members from the churches in the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal, the USA, Australia, and Egypt.

The aim of the HCOC is the preservation of the increasingly at-risk oral chant heritage of Coptic hymnology, through receiving and recording the most accurate renditions of the hymns. These academic recordings are intended to be references for the education, preservation and enrichment of Copts and those who are interested in the historical musical heritages of indigenous communities around the world.

In handing down the hymns, we follow a rigorous study, research, and comparative analysis of Coptic hymnology from Cantor Mikhail El-Batanouny, who is our main source, and his disciples.

科普特东正教教堂（HCOC）的传承成立于2000年夏天，由执事阿尔巴勒·米哈伊尔（Deacon Albair Mikhail）领导。大多数合唱团成员来自加拿大密西沙加的先知丹尼尔和三圣青年教堂。 HCOC还拥有大多伦多地区，蒙特利尔，美国，澳大利亚和埃及的教堂成员。

HCOC的目的是通过接收和记录最准确的赞美诗来保存科普特赞美诗的日益危险的口头圣言传承。这些学术记录旨在为科普特人以及对世界各地土著社区的历史音乐遗产感兴趣的人的教育，保存和充实提供参考。

在分发赞美诗时，我们遵循了主要的研究者坎托·米哈伊尔·巴塔努尼（Cantor Mikhail El-Batanouny）及其门徒对科普特赞美诗的严格研究，研究和比较分析。
