The Orthodox Church is unique in our modern times among the sea of Protestantism, having a completely sung Liturgy.
The music is not what's sacred in the Orthodox Church, it's the words we recite that's sacred. The music is really meant to fit the text. So when we talk about heaven, the voice goes up, and when you talk about hell or Hades or sin, it goes down. For instance (singing), “The company of the angels was amazed when they beheld the number among the dead.”
