A liturgical hymn or chant celebrating resurrection, particularly used in Eastern Orthodox and Byzantine Christian traditions.
From Greek anastasis (resurrection) + -imon (musical suffix). Byzantine liturgical term for musical pieces specifically composed to commemorate the Resurrection of Christ.
In Orthodox churches, anastasimon chants use specific musical modes and patterns that have been virtually unchanged for over 1,500 years—it's like listening to the soundtrack of ancient Christianity!
