When you google Coptic music, there’s a good chance you will first run into the Wikipedia definition: “Coptic music is the music sung and played in the Coptic Orthodox Church (Church of Egypt).” For the more refined inquisitor, the search for Coptic liturgical hymns known as alḥān, many times by their specific titles or the names of favorite cantors, yields a plethora of rich, grassroots archives, carefully crafted by dedicated cantors in Egypt and around the world: alhan.org, tasbeha.org, Coptichymnsinenglish.com, and Copticheritage.org. These archives also don’t count the numerous YouTube channels, virtual lessons, Coptic shows on satellite streaming TV, as well as apps like Coptic Hymns, Coptic Reader, and iAlhan that cantors can now download directly to their devices. In the Covid-19 era, and well before then, many local churches also streamed their own services, archiving them on their own YouTube Channels. Alongside the voices and faces of everyday cantors, many of these hymn sites also revive the voices of some of the most venerated and beloved mu’allimīn, traditionally blind gatekeepers who have transmitted liturgical hymns through the generations in Egypt, and through these virtual spaces, abroad. Their voices, emerging from scratchy and digitized recordings, remind us that grassroots archiving of Coptic hymns have been with us far longer than the Internet.
