Summary/Abstract: The Orthodox Church carries out its mission and testifies to the revealed Truth through the various means. Singing is one of them. In Orthodoxy the communion character of singing predominates. Music is undoubtedly a gift from God. Singing began by being the companion of the word. Both through monodic, pew, and choral singing, the Orthodox believer, the Christian performer highlights the confession of faith, which has a special role and importance in Theology and in the life of the Church, with deep meanings and ecclesiological and soteriological implications.
