This is the point where the present disc starts as it brings music from the western and eastern liturgical traditions which met in Cyprus. The latter included traders and refugees from Crusader states which were captured by the Arabs. Among the minorities were Armenians, Syriac Christians, Jews and people from western Europe. Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians constituted the majority of the population. In 1489 Cyprus became part of the Republic of Venice in 1571 it was captured by the Ottoman empire. He established a dynasty which ruled the island for two centuries. During the Third Crusade King Richard I ('Lionheart') captured the island and sold it to Guy de Lusignan, former King of Jerusalem, in 1192. In the 10th century it came under full control of Constantinople but in the 12th century it was strongly affected by the Crusades. In the first centuries of the Christian era it was part of the Roman empire until it came under joint Byzantine and Arab rule in the 7th century. Today it is divided between a Greek and a Turkish community. The history of Cyprus is full of conflicts between East and West.
