Vesper Song


I thought you might like to hear a sample of the chanting that we do each day.  This vesper song is one we sing at the end of each day.  Most of the chanting comes out of the book of Psalms in the Old Testament of the Bible.  Chanting is done five times a day and lasts anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.  They change according to the day and time and special celebrations.  At present we are finishing the Easter season chants and beginning the Ascension chants.  I can talk more about those seasons, if anyone is interested.

  2. Thanks, Maya. It would be nice to have everyone together this morning. The wonderful thing about vesper moods is they follow you to bed.
