Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Art of Chanting: History, Principles, Practice
Chanting may be defined as a mode of musical delivery in free rhythm combining monotonic recitation with melody. It partakes, therefore, of the nature of rhetorical speech under the limitation of sustained musical tone, and of singing free from the restrictions of metre.
