Is there a Patristic reference for this?

For those that are interested there is a rather gurgly
recording of Ctesibius' water-organ along with other
BCE instruments on Harmonia Mundi's Musique d'Abord
label "Musique de la Grece Antique" (I think the
artistes are Gregorio Paniagua and Atrium Musicae
Madrid [or something else Madrid..]

What I'd like to ask is if anyone knows of a passion
recording in NT Greek? Either by a modern composer such
as John "Ikon of Light" Taverner, or Orthodox chant.

Best regards
