The Heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church

About this app

The Heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church (HCOC) choir was founded in the summer of 2000, under the leadership of Deacon Albair Mikhail. Most choir members are from the church of the Prophet Daniel and the Three Saintly Youth in Mississauga, Canada. HCOC also has members from the churches in the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal, the USA, Australia, and Egypt.

The aim of the HCOC is the preservation of the increasingly at-risk oral chant heritage of Coptic hymnology, through receiving and recording the most accurate renditions of the hymns. These academic recordings are intended to be references for the education, preservation and enrichment of Copts and those who are interested in the historical musical heritages of indigenous communities around the world.

In handing down the hymns, we follow a rigorous study, research, and comparative analysis of Coptic hymnology from Cantor Mikhail El-Batanouny, who is our main source, and his disciples.

Ratings and reviews

The app is great and reflects an incredible effort, however I have a problem with playing the same tracks I have played before. As any track continues playing from the point I left it, even if it has reached its end, so when I play it again, the player finds the play bar at the end of the track, and just skip it to the next one. I hope you work on this problem if there is no current option for it, as I have to manually reset the bar for every track to continue playing.

The app is amazing , it is awesome to have it as a reference for us to learn and keep our orthodox heritage the right way , but would you please add the feature of fast rewind and fast forwarding for 30 sec each way it will help a lot while learning new hymns , thank you for this amazing app

I love the app, can you make the audio tracks start over when you play it again, now it skips when you finish them.
