About Valaam Monastic Choir
The monastery of Valaam (Republic of Karelia, Russia) has a unique tradition of singing, called the Valaam chant, that combines some features of Byzantine and Znamenny chants. As in Byzantine chant, the singing is always in 2-parts, comprising a melody and an ison, but, as in Znamenny chant, the scale structure is always diatonic. The ornamentation is simplified in comparison with Byzantine chant, and the melodies are more similar to that of ancient Znamenny Chant, at the edge of being considered a local variety of this tradition.
