I wondered what byzantine music sound like?
YouTube - Byzantine Secular Music-The Nightingale Kratima
Byzantine secular music, by Xenon Koronis, 15th cenuty.
and another byzantine secular one:
YouTube - Byzantine Emperors. Theophilos (829-842)
The greatest hymnos of all, "Akathistos"(the standing), the "Te Ypermacho Stratego"(To the supreme general), Panagia(Mary). Psalmed most probably during the Siege of Polis by Avars in the 7th century!
YouTube - ?? ???????? ???????? - To thee, the Champion Leader
Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ στρατηγῷ τὰ νικητήρια,
Ὡς λυτρωθεῖσα τῶν δεινῶν εὐχαριστήρια,
Ἀναγράφω σοι ἡ Πόλις σου Θεοτόκε.
Ἀλλ᾿ ὡς ἔχουσα τὸ κράτος ἀπροσμάχητον,
Ἐκ παντοίων με κινδύνων ἐλευθέρωσον,
Ἵνα κράζω σοι· Χαῖρε, Νύμφη ἀνύμφευτε.
Unto you, O Theotokos, invincible Champion, your City, in thanksgiving ascribes the victory for the deliverance from sufferings. And having your might unassailable, free us from all dangers, so that we may cry unto you, Rejoice, O Bride Ever-Virgin.
Thanks for that, some good music.

I don't know if this has already been posted, but even so it certainly can't hurt.

Oh well, since the old links don't work any more:
