Galician chant

Not to be confused with Gallican chant.

The Galician chant (Ukrainian: галицький розспів), is a form of liturgical chant originating in Western Ukraine, particularly in the region of Galacia. It is used predominantly in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and in some Ukraine Orthodox communities in the diaspora (notably the Western Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada), and to a lesser degree the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Like the Kievan and Znamenny chants, the Galician chant is organized according to the system of eight tones (modes or glasy).
