Sacred Music Lab

Welcome to St. Nersess Armenian Seminary's Sacred Music Lab. The Lab is intended to be a resource for seminarians, deacons and others who are interested in learning the sacred music and chants of the Armenian Church's rich liturgical heritage. In the continually-updated Lab, you will find audio recordings for the deacons' parts, hymns, chants and sharagans from many of the Armenian Church's liturgical services. You will also find printed music to help you learn. Check back frequently for new material, which will be regularly added to the Lab.

Please share your feedback and suggestions by writing to: info@stnersess.edu.
