True Psaltes learn authentic chanting around the lectern. Only there breathes the spirit that animates the Psaltes' voices with love and prayer. We have all felt the call of the byzantine lectern at a certain time, in a church or a monastery. At first, we did not dare to approach -- we were watching with excitement and desire the open books and the men reading their secret notations. After a while, we summoned up our courage, we approached or we were called by someone who sensed our eagerness. We began to follow the drone; we learned the musical notation and listened to borrowed tapes and CDs of famous Psaltes. Music opened before us like a book and continues to surprise us with its secrets, secrets that one discovers only through yearlong quests.
