Editing Hymn (section)

====Eastern church====
[[Eastern Christianity]] (the [[Eastern Orthodox]], [[Oriental Orthodox]] and [[Eastern Catholic]] churches) has a variety of ancient hymnographical traditions. In the [[Byzantine Rite]], chant is used for all forms of liturgical worship: if it is not sung [[a cappella]], the only accompaniment is usually an {{lang|el|ison}}, or [[Drone (music)|drone]]. Organs and other instruments were excluded from church use, although they were employed in imperial ceremonies.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Levy |first1=Kenneth |last2=Troelsgård |first2=Christian |editor-first1=Christian |editor-last1=Troelsgård |title=Byzantine chant |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.04494 |website=Grove Music Online |access-date=6 March 2021 |language=en |doi=10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.04494 |date=2016|isbn=9781561592630 }}</ref> However, instruments are common in some other Oriental traditions.
