Coptic music is music that is played in the Coptic Orthodox Church (of Egypt). Instruments include cymbals (hand and large size). People also chant hymns in rhythm with the music. Coptic music is purely religious.

The greatest modern Coptic cantor is the late Cantor Mikhail Girgis El Batanouny, whose recordings helped preserve and unify many ancient chants that otherwise would have been lost.
