CopticHymns vs Coptic SSC

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.

One of its main purposes is to provide teachers and students with a comprehensive curriculum for Sunday School with various means of teaching lesson topics though references to the Holy Bible, Sayings of the Church Fathers, Videos, Songs, Hymns, and colouring activities. For each age group, a curriculum has been carefully designed to cover psychologically relevant themes discussing Scripture, Dogma, Spirituality, Church Rituals and Morals. Additionally, the curriculum has been designed to discuss topics corresponding to the time of fasts/feasts in the Calendar which shift every year. The calendar selection feature allows users to utilize the correct curriculum depending on the current year as well as being able to select curriculums of other years. The mobile application is both available online and offline. All books are available for offline viewing. Note: all multimedia content such as songs/hymns and videos are only available through internet access. Coptic SSC is a wonderful tool, gathering together writings from our Church’s stores of spiritual wisdom, from centuries past until today, to bring our children to our Lord Jesus Christ.
