Is this sad truth or not?

Sources of the Coptic Church Hymns
+ We have mentioned that Philo (1st century) told that the Early Christians did take the Ancient Egyptian tunes and put to them Christian texts.. Among those hymns: Gholgotha which Ancient Egyptians used when mummifying and Pek Ethronos whose first half is full of sadness and sorrow for the Pharaoh's death and the second full of joy to celebrate his wedding trip to the Sun Boat to take him to Ra3 in the world of eternity..
+ In this era the gift of spiritual composing was given to many who enriched the church with hymns.. As St.Clement of Alexandria who composed the Praise of the Lord the saviour, St.Athanasios the Apostolic who composed Monogenis St.Didimus the Blind who composed many of the hymns which are still in use until today and others such as the Syrian Mar Avraam who is called the Holy Spirit's Harp and lived with the Cyrenian Sinosius (370 AC) who believed in Christianity, married a Coptic woman, lived in Egypt and composed also.. Also Hillary from Poitier (386) the first Latin Hymn composer then Ambrosius the Prince of Latin Hymns and many others who were influenced by Egyptian music.. It is worth mentioning here that the Coptic Hymns used TODAY are the same which the Coptic scientist Ibn-Kabar Abul-Barakat (Shamsel-Re`assa) mentioned BY NAME in his well known Encyclopaedia in (1320 AC) Of course it was used long before his time..
Some Hebrew influence (Jewish Synagogues Music) came from the Triumphant Jews of Alexandria (Theprapieuta)
+ Some hymns were added by HH Pope Kyrollos IV from the Byzantine church as Ton Sina, Tolithos, Ei Parthenos and others.. We should say that the last section of the Liturgy's confession was slightly affected by the Greek..
