The cantor is the singer of psalms in the assembly, the assembly's partner in the singing of intercessions and litanies. The cantor's gift of voice, prayer and presence serve the whole assembly at Sunday eucharist. This updated approach to the roles, skills and spirituality of the cantor discusses what a cantor should know about the raw materials of singing (breathing, posture, projection, articulation and interpretation) as well as gestures, eye contact and the liturgy itself.
