In addition to the resources that Messrs Lightman and Sorenson have
mentioned, I'd like, too, to remind readers of the rich hymnological
tradition of the Greek Orthodox Church, a body comprised of thousands of
works composed mostly in the Byzantine era, entirely in Koine. These are
sung, of course, with modern Greek pronunciation, essentially the same
pronunciation for which most were written. There is no "Erasmian heresy"
found there!
A fine introductory site is that of Analogion:
