@lxak@goblin.technology Unfortunately, over many centuries of cultural suppression under various foreign overlords, much of the Georgian musical patrimony has been lost to time (much of it was/is transmitted orally). I have heard from folks that spent significant time in Georgia that the non-eucharistic services have long stretches in which the texts are simply read or intoned, since the music is no longer extant. Traditional Georgian chant is in three voices, generally sung by male ensembles except in women's monastic houses. But at Pascha everyone present in non-monastic churches will sing the Paschal troparion.
