The Bible and Music

Yesterday we had a guest speaker, a cantor from a Jewish temple. It was very interesting to hear the more religious side of music from someone who has devoted his life to it. I found it compelling that women cantors are a relatively new addition to the religious scene. I thought the music sung by a woman cantor was somehow more moving. When paired with deep, religious music female cantors have a more impactful singing voice, I think. But I thought that the most beautiful songs were the ones sung by an entire choir.
