I hope that it proves helpful.<br /><br />I learned to chant the Psalms, singing with the chancel choir at Christ Episcopal Church, Covington, Louisiana in the 1980s. We sung the Psalms and the occasional canticle to plainsong settings. Our choirmaster who was also an Episcopal deacon had been a Benedictine oblate. <br /><br />When I was a teenager, we had Morning Prayer at Christ Church two or three Sundays of the month. The congregation chanted the Venite and the canticle after each lesson. I do not remember whether we sung the Psalms. We had a choir and the choir may have sung the Psalms. <br /><br />At St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Mandeville, Louisiana we sung the Gradual to simplified Anglican chant but we never progressed beyond the one setting. I do not recommend this practice. The setting should reflect the emotional tone,or mood, of the Psalm and should vary with the Psalm. <br /><br />To my mind plainsong is easier to learn than Anglican chant.Robin G.

And here you have a chanted Canticle. Yet I have yet to find where I can learn just how to do it. I have the "hymn" books for the Psalms, and I've been to sung evensong for years (my son was in the men and boy's choir), so I know that what you see is not necessarily what you get. <br /><br />If you know of any good instructional recordings, I would truly appreciate sharing your knowledge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624114664005434553noreply@blogger.com
