Dear friends? What are the Eight Tones? What is a tone? How does one recognize it being chanted in Church? Is there any particular reason why there are just Eight Tones? (Is that the musical scale)?
Are tones something mainly the choir needs to know about? Do you feel left out, like me, that you don\'t (can\'t?) chant like the rest of the people? Well, I shouldn\'t envy anyone. But I feel these people know how to sing beautifully to the LORD. It is not of this world how majestic the church chants sound to Western ears. I am used to noise and abominable machines like organs and pianos. And guitars. Okay for entertainment, but not quite New Testament style of worship.
Take care.
