• Grave tone, composed by Fokaeus, which is chanted in the Divine Liturgy of The Greek Orthodox Church during the Great Entrance...

In the Orthodox Church there are 8 tones that can be chanted:

• 1st

• 2nd

• 3rd

• 4th
  

• Plagal of 1st

• Plagal of 2nd
  

• Grave
  

• Plagal of 4th tone.

• This is done so that people don't get bored at listening to the same tone over and over again.

• Each week a different tone is chanted.

[...]

• No instruments are used when chanting byzantine music,
  

• only the human voice can be used and nothing else.
