Chant


Matthew (the Director of Music and Liturgical Arts) and I are planning ahead for summer worship without the choir. One of the things we are talking about doing is chanting the psalms. It is difficult to assess, however, how easily the congregation will learn this style of singing. It is also tricky to think of good ways to teach it. I wonder whether anyone out there in the blogosphere has any ideas?

Dare I ask how you currently handle the psalm?

The Choir and Congregation sing a refrain and the Cantor sings the verses. The setting is metrical (not plainsong). -t
