Summary/Abstract: The cultural provocations of our society are so immense that one may concededefeat in giving an answer to them. The reality of the culture, in our days, seems tohave such a large diversity that some even talk of “the gospel of diversity” whichdoes not need any truth. For those I have thought of making the most beautiful andillustrated presentation about Church music, this presentation not only to resume athaving the respect for its beautiful listening, but also the attachment that resultedfrom the deep understanding of its purpose and logic. The orthodox sound structurefaces the extremely serious problems of the beginning of the new millenium and theOrthodoxy needs to value its tremendous potential. The orthodox musical thesaurusrepresents a “musical construction” close to perfection which we have the duty topass on and reverse to the hundreds of nations that are still waiting.
