This love was not caused by the exotic character of the Church music, but by the deeper accordance of this kind of singing with a spirit of prayer.

Not only he supplemented the repertoire of the choir with a number of very rare ancient canticles, but also what is the most important he shared his knowledge of Byzantine singing characteristic features.
