How can someone teach Chanting in just three academic semesters, training candidates for the clergy, who will live their entire priestly life with Chanting? Whatever accelerated method is followed, this is practically impossible.

For this reason, it is crucial – I dare say – to promote the scriptural and patristic theologies regarding the necessity of Chanting in Divine Worship and for its valuable contribution to the vesting of the divine word in liturgical acts, and thus in the doctrines of the faith.

It must be made clear that through the member, the entire teaching of the Lord is expressed, understood, and received, all the theology of His Church, and the whole experience of the saints and martyrs of the faith.

If the students understand this, they will eagerly rush to study Chanting on their own, as refreshing water of theology and not as a stressful obligation of a Study Program...

The personal need led to the search, and the search brought the heavenly gift according to "ask, and it will be given...". Whatever the Lord has given in various phases and with various occasions has been gathered here into a monograph with a common denominator of theology regarding the Art of Chanting.

To the Holy Triune God be glory, honor, and worship unto the ages.
