European and Christian Traditional Music

[Cynllo]

This isn't traditional, but using a traditional instrument.

 

[Cynllo]

From Pirot cathedral in South Serbia, near Bulgaria.

I guess the translation is - Welcome Christ.

Maybe @OrthoSerb or @Острог could add more.

 

[Iacobus]

 

[Let God Arise]

 

[Let God Arise]

Not sure where the dividing line between "traditional" and "classical" lies, so I'll give it a shot.

 

[Avraam]

This isn't the original melody, but still interesting.

 

[Narekatsi]

This contains a somewhat modern and cinematic presentation of an Armenian hymn ("sharagan") that is also a central part of the Divine Liturgy (usually about 40 minutes in, also when the holy kiss and the Good News are exchanged among the congregation).

The title is Avetis = Good News. The theme is the birth and revelation of Jesus Christ.

YouTube auto translate doesn't do a perfect job as it's in Classical Armenian, but more or less gets the point across.

A couple of medieval Latin songs I really enjoy:
