-
- Music
Synopsis: Chanting is a beautiful way to sing psalms word for word. Unfortunately, many modern congregations can be intimidated by the unknowns involved. David Madeira, creator of the 12-point chant psalter, joins Emily Bateman in discussing why chant is a great choice and how to make it an accessible option for your congregation. Psalter Project contributors can listen to the full length interview; visit https://psalterproject.com/contribute and get in touch.
Bio: David Madeira is a composer, worship leader, and university instructor in Nashville, Tennessee. He serves as Director of Music at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church and teaches music courses at Belmont University. David holds undergraduate and master's degrees in Composition from Belmont University, and a doctorate in Worship Studies (DWS) from the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies in Jacksonville, FL. His doctoral thesis was focused on the topic of congregational psalmody: its history, various forms, and usage in the contemporary church. His thesis culminated in the development of a new form of psalm chant for modern congregations, known as twelve-point chant. David resides just south of Nashville in Franklin, TN, with his wife, Elizabeth, and their three children.
