I pay attention to these new productions, or sometimes recently posted videos of Gregorian Chant as they pop up in the margin when watching something.
These are becoming extremely popular as people - even from various backgrounds - enjoy the peaceful classic Gregorian Chant.
Some have women's voices also singing, which is not monastic.
But slowly, some listeners will find their way to Orthodox Chant.
So i notice in this livestreaming one that the description includes these phrases :
"No instruments.
No distractions.
Only the breath of prayer echoing in silence"

Re: Catholic chants online tending Orthodox
That video is unavailable but I have another good one. In Latin but I think it is one of the variations of Come Holy Ghost, Creator bless... which is my absolute favourite of the Western hymns used at the Abbey of the Holy Name. These people papists but we can freely appreciate the beauty of the ancient hymn well performed.
P.S. women do chant. Especially when there are no men to assist, and especially at cloisters.
P.P.S. Gregorian chant IS Orthodox chant.

Oh ! Maybe it was only livestreamed for that moment in time ? I am so stupid with the internet, sorry, everyone must be patient with me.
Let me post another then, and anyone else who has good Gregorian/Orthodox Chants, please add yours.

The male chanter in this video I've seen before in other projects and videos and from what I understand he's a Byzantophile of some sort, which may explain why his recordings sound closer to ancient Gregorian chant than most others.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
