Though one rarely hears an entire chanted liturgy today, any prayer the priest sings seems somehow richer, more heartfelt and efficacious. Unfortunately, many of those training for ministry do not receive the training necessary needed to properly sing the parts of the Mass.
Using the texts of the current Sacramentary, Chanting On Our Behalf offers expert guidance for singing the preface, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Exsultet and other presidential prayers. Of Course, we learn music best by hearing and imitating it. Chanting on our Behalf comes with a CD that demonstrates each chanted prayer, sung by Father John Schiavone.
