Ten Commandments of Chanting Bring and maintain peace in the kliros. It’s a witness of cooperation, harmony, and reverence – nothing else belongs there (any more than it does in the altar or nave). Come early and be prepared. This is especially true if you are reading an epistle. Prayer is part of the preparation.
