Czy zniknięcie kantorów to koniec liturgicznego śpiewu?
Was the Disappearance of Cantors the End of Liturgical Chants?

Summary/Abstract: Today, the function of the church cantor is totally absent in the liturgy. For more than a century everything possible was done to eliminate it and replace it with parish choirs, and in the wake of the last council with the ideology of the singing People of God. Only few Catholics know that in certain rural parishes cantors fulfilled their function to the mid-twentieth century as the prime actors of liturgical celebrations. From the very first centuries men known as psalmists or lectors took on the proclamation of the words of joint prayer via the song. The prime task of the cantor was guarding living memory, the memory of the song and sound of the prayers of ancestors.
