There is a lot
of acoustic researches made for Roman Catholic churches and because of
differences in traditions and culture comparing to Orthodoxy, this is not the
best idea to use its acoustic estimators for Orthodox churches. The article
shows results of measurements in exemplary Orthodox churches in Poland and
proposal of psychoacoustic tests using convolution technique, which would allow
to formulate the new acoustic outlines for Orthodox
churches. The researches were made especially considering choral music, which
is inseparable part for East Christians culture, so as a test sounds, there
were Orthodox choir sound samples recorded in anechoic chamber convoluted with
impulse response of measured churches.
