This chanting suddenly brought serious holiness in the Church, something felt different

That Greek Byzantine chant is so breathtakingly beautiful.

As a Persian, I find the Greek Orthodox chanting majestic. Worthy rivals of ancient times and good friends of modern times

All the Orthodox only here to listen to the chant.

The chant took me to heaven for a moment I swear

Only here to hear Greek Byzantine chants☦️

Wow, the chant is so powerful. Takes the ceremony to a sacred ancient time. It's a different level.

Best moment of the coronation. I love the chant.

That chant is straight up boss music.

As a Greek myself, I can tell you this chant was more than majestic.

That byzantine chant brings the coronation to a whole new level. Now it's not just a ceremony. It's a spiritual experience.

Imagine this to the emperor’s coronation in the Hagia Sophia

Modern evangelicals: the kind of music doesn't matter. Byznatine Greeks: Hold my wine

Finally the world gets to hear the sounds of true ancient Christian Orthodox worship🇬🇷✝️ Feels like Byzantium with Empreror Constantine👌

This Greek chanting is magical

As a Russian Orthodox, I love hearing the great Greek Orthodox chants, we sing many of tbe same hymns. Fantastic

Don’t forget Philip was Greek Orthodox. Χριστός Ανέστη!

Apart from the wonderful Parry's 'I was glad', this Greek Orthodox chant was stunning .... made the ceremony feel very connected to history.... very very beautiful.

As a Greek Orthodox this moment was surreal. Felt like the coronation of a Byzatnine Emperor. God Bless King Charles. He is an enlightened monarch indeed.

The shift of the atmosphere when the Greek Orthodox himn hits is just astonishing! Everyone gangsta until that moment 😮!

From the Greek Emperors in Hagia Sofia, till the King of the British Empire. It survives even in 2023

Respect from Constantinople as a Pontic Greek 🇬🇷🦅

as a Catholic and Christian . I was amazed by this . may the Byzantine spirit lives forever love to my orthodox brothers ✝☦

Greetings from an Orthodox Christian. Long live the King. May God bless!

There was something very mystical and ancient about this portion of the coronation. It was no accident that King Charles chose this Byzantine chant for the service. It is a good omen for his reign.

This brings back memories of the Byzantine emperor in Hagia Sophia. Stunning

I was completely and utterly swept away into the distant past during this.😳

I think this ancient byzantine chant was the highlight of the ceremony , so spiritual, felt like Jesus was there himself ❤❤❤

As someone who is half English and half Greek Cypriot, the meeting of these two traditions, both dear to me, really moved me. King Charles has visited mount Athos and has a collection of icons. He has more Orthodox sympathies than his father had. Think Phillip wasn't keen on his Greek 'heritage' (Danish) but Charles is more inclined.

Something about the Byzantine Chant just feels Imperial.

That Greek Byzantine Chant was outstanding and sounded direct from Mount Athos ❤

Wow !!! The best moment in the whole coronation is this Orthodox chant

In Orthodox tradition, nothing changed for 2000 years, Kyire Elesion, God have mercy

Revive Byzantine Empire. Always Constantinople.

Ὁ Θεὸς, τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως· κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς σου ἐν κρίσει, Ἀλληλούια. Κρινεῖ τοὺς πτωχοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ σώσει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν πενήτων καὶ ταπεινώσει συκοφάντην, Ἀλληλούια. Καὶ συμπαραμενεῖ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ πρὸ τῆς σελήνης γενεὰς γενεῶν, Ἀλληλούια. Ἀνατελεῖ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ δικαιοσύνη καὶ πλῆθος εἰρήνης, ἕως οὗ ἀνταναιρεθῇ ἡ σελήνη, Ἀλληλούια. Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι. Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, Ἀμὴν. Κύριε σῶσον τὸν βασιλέα. Κύριε σῶσον τὸν Βασιλέα. Κύριε σῶσον τὸν βασιλέα· καὶ ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρα ἐπικαλεσώμεθά σε· Ἀλληλούια, Ἀλληλούια, Ἀλληλούια, Δόξα σοι ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, Δόξα σοι. ------------ Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son; he shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment, Alleluia. He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor, Alleluia. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations, Alleluia. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth, Alleluia. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Both now and ever and unto the ages of ages, Amen. Lord save the king. Lord save the king. Lord save the king; let the king hear us when we call; Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Glory to thee our God, Glory to thee.

Now this chant could raise the deads

My favourite part of the coronation. It gives us a glimpse of what a Byzantine emperor’s coronation would have been like. Beautiful chanting

I liked this part very much. Gave this part of the ceremony an appropriate and beautiful archaic touch.

The Coronation is better than anything Hollywood puts out.

Everyone’s amazed reaction to the Orthodox chant and the immediate sincerity that it emits is just beautiful. Orthodoxy is the purest most graceful of the Christian denominations, the true church. IC XC NIKA☦️

As an orthodox l thank you all so much . God save the king. From a country that His Mazesty has visited a lot of times . Greece. We love you all.

Heavenly sound ! It was an amazing moment! It sounded realy amazing.

This was so spine tingling to hear the Byzantine chant

Constantinople should never have become Turkish.

I loved this chant so beautiful.

Greek Orthodox is the best religion. Pure love of God. The King knows that ❤

In honour to his grandmother , Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark and his father Prince Phillip of Greece

The same hymn was used at the coronations of Byzantine Kings! Very important thing for most westerners to understand. Charles connection with Agion Oros probably made him learn how important would be used at his coronation.

Best part of the ceremony. Archaic, sacred, ancient

As a Greek Orthodox Christian, this was my favourite part of the coronation!

The King has very close relationships with Greece and the Orthodoxy ...... Long live the King... Greetings from the Orthodox Greece... This sound of the Vyzantine Hymn is called " LEGETOS "or sound D (Δ) .. it is the most celebratory sound...

May his Majesty 👑Charles III declare his Orthodox Faith☦️☦️☦️

As someone who is from English and Greek parents, I found it absolutely brilliant

I absolutely loved this greek hymn made me think i was back in the 11th or 12th century for a few minutes absolutely beautiful chanting ✝️

Remind us the coronation of Byzantine Emperor in Hagia Sophia. Bless you King Charles ❤.

Based. He looks ready to reclaim Constantinople/New Rome for Christendom. Long Live the King!

this was breathtaking

Long live holy Orthodoxy!!!☦️☦️☦️

I close my eyes and go from King Charles III and 2023 AD back to 976 AD and see Basil II crowned inside Hagia Sophia at Constantinople.

As a Greek Orthodox myself it's quite interesting to see others react to these byzantine chants, when this is what I grew up with. As beautiful they are it is quite common for me. Hence why I love to see peoples reactions.

It says approximately: “Lord God, protect the King and the Son of the King” followed by verses of the Psalms 71. And it ends “Lord save the Emperor. Hallelujah. Glory to Thee, Oh Lord, Glory to Thee” I wonder if this is not a hymn from the coronation ceremony of the Eastern Roman Emperors. I think is more than a homage to the late prince Philip….

This was amazing to listen to. I loved this and Sir Bryn Terfel singing i'n Welsh. Absolutely beautiful, they made me quite emotional ❤

Greetings from Romania, hope the king will still visit us, he really helped promote ower turism over here, great guy

God grant the King many years! 😊☦️🙏

If you like the greek vyzantine psalms you need to visit greek orthodox churches, when visiting Greece or Cyprus, not just..... you know.....

I hope the first action he does as king is purge and dissolve the Woke Mind Virus in the UK.

The moment they start singing you can feel the grace of God! Hristos a inviat!

Bless king Charles 3rd long may you reign ,❤️❤️❤️❤️ Respect his father and heritage 🙏🙏🙏🙏

This would have been better if the announcers would have shut up.

Now that’s a coronation

I loved this moment, this ancient form of Christianity seems genuine.

One day Hagia Sophia will be filled with Orthodox Chants. Christ is the Son of God. Peace be to all.

Tradtion never dies. This coronation is proof of that. You lack something in your character and spirit if you did not feel the hairs raise up on the back of your neck.

My favourite part of the coronation

Charles is a good man,.. I love the guy 👍👍👍

Beautiful moment, ❤❤❤

As a Greek I know these hymns. King Charles is very lovely in Greece. May God bless UK king. Philip must be proud...

Я поначалу удивился византийскому распеву на английской коронации. А потом вспомнил, кем был отец короля, ныне покойный принц Филипп. Он был греком. На самом деле, это песнопение идеально подчеркивает сакральность церемонии, серьёзность и древность действа, и одновременно делает его торжественным.

Glory to Christ and Orthodoxy ☝️☦️

The Coronation was so beautiful and moving. It brought me to tears a few times. I'm thankful the public was allowed to witness it.

It was beautiful and very moving.

That he will not bear this sword in vain. Sheer good taste and humility

O canto bizantino deu ares de SAGRADO à coroação. Ave Império!

I am shocked 😮😮😮 i knew that King Charles was visiting the Greek Orthodox monasteries on Mount Athos in Chalkidiki Greece pretty regularly as his father did, but I NEVER thought that a Byzantine chant will be sang at the coronation and echo through the Westminster Abby!!! AWESOME!!

Best part of the entire coronation. Finally felt like something historical.

I love the fact that our chants are used for this but still remember guys, ecumenism is bad, I wish to see The King fully accept Orthodoxy one say

Praise the Lord for making me a Greek orthodox

Very important ceremony, Sikhs symbol of Miri& Piri. May God Bless The King. 🙏🪯🇬🇧☀️

This song literally took my breath away ...most gorgeous of ALL

Pray that this King actually helps England and Europe... He needs to address the problems that Ethnic Europeans are going through

The Byzantine Chore is chanting the Psalm 71 of David. Here are the lyrics: Ο Θεός, τὸ κρίμα σου τῷ βασιλεῖ δὸς καὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ βασιλέως 2 κρίνειν τὸν λαόν σου ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ τοὺς πτωχούς σου ἐν κρίσει. 3 ἀναλαβέτω τὰ ὄρη εἰρήνην τῷ λαῷ σου καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ δικαιοσύνην. 4 κρινεῖ τοὺς πτωχοὺς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ σώσει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν πενήτων καὶ ταπεινώσει συκοφάντην 5 καὶ συμπαραμενεῖ τῷ ἡλίῳ καὶ πρὸ τῆς σελήνης γενεὰς γενεῶν. 6 καταβήσεται ὡς ὑετὸς ἐπὶ πόκον καὶ ὡσεὶ σταγὼν ἡ στάζουσα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. 7 ἀνατελεῖ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ δικαιοσύνη καὶ πλῆθος εἰρήνης, ἕως οὗ ἀνταναιρεθῇ ἡ σελήνη. 8 καὶ κατακυριεύσει ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ ποταμῶν ἕως περάτων τῆς οἰκουμένης. 9 ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ προπεσοῦνται Αἰθίοπες, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ χοῦν λείξουσι. 10 βασιλεῖς Θαρσὶς καὶ νῆσοι δῶρα προσοίσουσι, βασιλεῖς ᾿Αράβων καὶ Σαβᾶ δῶρα προσάξουσι. 11 καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη δουλεύσουσιν αὐτῷ. 12 ὅτι ἐρρύσατο πτωχὸν ἐκ δυνάστου καὶ πένητα, ᾧ οὐχ ὑπῆρχε βοηθός. 13 φείσεται πτωχοῦ καὶ πένητος καὶ ψυχὰς πενήτων σώσει. 14 ἐκ τόκου καὶ ἐξ ἀδικίας λυτρώσεται τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔντιμον τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. 15 καὶ ζήσεται, καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ χρυσίου τῆς ᾿Αραβίας, καὶ προσεύξονται περὶ αὐτοῦ διαπαντός, ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν εὐλογήσουσιν αὐτόν. 16 ἔσται στήριγμα ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐπ᾿ ἄκρων τῶν ὀρέων· ὑπεραρθήσεται ὑπὲρ τὸν Λίβανον ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξανθήσουσιν ἐκ πόλεως ὡσεὶ χόρτος τῆς γῆς. 17 ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ εὐλογημένον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, πρὸ τοῦ ἡλίου διαμένει τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη μακαριοῦσιν αὐτόν. 18 εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ᾿Ισραήλ, ὁ ποιῶν θαυμάσια μόνος, 19 καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ πληρωθήσεται τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ. γένοιτο, γένοιτο. Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the royal son! 2 May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice! 3 Let the mountains bear prosperity for the people, and the hills, in righteousness! 4 May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor! 5 May they fear you[a] while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations! 6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth! 7 In his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound, till the moon be no more! 8 May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River[b] to the ends of the earth! 9 May desert tribes bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust! 10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the coastlands render him tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba bring gifts! 11 May all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him! 12 For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. 13 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. 14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight. 15 Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him! May prayer be made for him continually, and blessings invoked for him all the day! 16 May there be abundance of grain in the land; on the tops of the mountains may it wave; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may people blossom in the cities like the grass of the field! 17 May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed! 18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. 19 Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen!

Respect Greeks

That is a hood classic from Constantinople. Based!

It’s a tribute to His Late Papa Prince Philip , late grandma Alice of Greece and also perhaps to 1st cousins side (Late King Constantine)

Props to the one choir guy sustaining that pedal tone

Oh my !! absolutely love this beautiful byzantine chant! So mysterious and haunting ❤ I wish I could have this chant without the commentary over the top

If the commentators will shutup for a bit so we can listen to the said Chant!

When shit gets real, the Orthodox chants come out.
