NPR did a story a couple weeks ago about how scholars have recreated what a Byzantine chant would have sounded like in the Hagia Sophia before it became a mosque.
Listening to this I thought about how Vladimir the Great’s envoys felt when they described their visit to that once great center of Christendom, which lead to the conversion of the pagan Rus’: “We no longer knew whether we were in heaven or on earth, nor such beauty, and we know not how to tell of it.”
