Antiphons and the Psalter!

Hey Chalice_Thunder does your parish chant the Gospel?

I have been to a local Jacobite Orthodox Church and they chant the Gospel, it is incredible. I know that Glen's church does as well but I don't believe anyone on our diocese does. Considering the size of the dioecese that actually surprisese me.

Is anyone aware of a site that actually teaches the tones? I use to know of one but unfortunately the site close down.

We do on rare occasions. It's been awhile.
One of our Deacons is a great singer, but she doesn't want to chant the gospel.

Of course we chant the Passion on Good Friday.
(Reminds me of GF 3 years ago. I sang Pilate, which is the higher of the tones. I played a bell to give the Narrator the pitch, and he completely missed it and started WAY too high. On his first note, my head whipped around at him with a look of terror on my face. The result was my Pilate sounded like a castrato!)

By the way, I never meant to imply that there is anything wrong with SAYING the psalms. I think it's just preferred for them to be sung.

OUCH!!!
Gotta admire your ability to adjust. I on the other hand am uncomfortable with anything that has a range of more than 4 notes.LOL
