Sunday 31^st August — Chant­ing the psalms 2^nd ses­sion

St Luke’s is almost unique in Sydney in that you as the con­greg­a­tion chants the psalms. I think you will agree that the last two months has been an inter­est­ing exper­i­ence. It would be a pity if we lost that tra­di­tion.

If you would like to learn to chant the psalms tra­di­tion­ally or have a refresh­er, Rajah with some assist­ance from Kathy and Kath­er­ine is will­ing to give some point­ers on Sunday 31st August after morn­ing tea.  So, if you’ve ever wondered what ·  |-  † *  — : , l and ll, double chant and single chant mean please come and join us.  No singing or oth­er music exper­i­ence neces­sary.
