How & Why Do Nusach Chant Modes Work?
A stand alone session led by Cantor Dr Brian Mayer
Sunday 8 June at 7:30pm UK time
When we hear chanting in the synagogue, we notice the distinctive Nusach chant modes that sustain the flow of the liturgy. We may wonder, how do these chant modes work; how are they formed; how are they applied, and why?
In this interactive masterclass, Cantor Dr. Brian Mayer will address the aforementioned questions about Nusach and its chant modes. We will hear how the modes sound, listen to examples of how they are applied, and learn the logic behind this Ashkenazi liturgical musical system.
