intoning| Uttering prayers, sutras, and so on in the form of a musical recitative. The practice of intoning is very ancient and is practised among the great majority of cultures, including most Christian churches. |
| Intoning is similar to chanting, the greater part of the prayer being recited on one note, varied sometimes by certain simple inflections. |
| In cathedrals and larger churches, intoning greatly simplifies audible utterances as well as adding beauty, formality, and dignity to choral worship. |
