I am a syriac orthodox worshipper(from France, with ancestors in Syria , Lebanon and Alexandria), and I found that coptic hymnology is really a beautiful hymnology it is a great pleasure to discover so a very interesting and venerable tradition. ;)
Mshiho qom men beth mithe Massiah qam Pi Ekrhestos aftonf :D
The links between different oriental hymnologies are certainly a very interesting topic.

lol what did he say then tell me?
In France, we have only one syriac orthodox church, at Montfermeil, in the suburb of Paris* near our coptic brothers(there is another one in Paris but syriac catholic one).
If you want to discover our hymnology we have one website(swedish) for example with samples of music.

Were are not so rich as our copts or armenians brothers with important diasporas but the comunity is doing his best to keep the language , the hymnology and ecclesial traditions.
*already 70 comunities are living in the North of Paris and many orientals as armenians, syriacs, copts, chaldeans, jewish...and muslims too from North Africa or Turkey(Sarcelles, Clichy -sous-Bois...).
Now I am living in South West of France , in Aquitany, in a tiny town called Pau, where exists the most little coptic chapel in France and , maybe , I think in the world(Chapelle Copte Orthodoxe du Saint Baptiste).
I am dicovering your liturgy and hymnology in copt and arabic with a great interest: what a beautiful treasury. :D
wow i'm really glad you liked it, maybe if you have a quiry you should ask PrincessMary lol she's the hymns expert
