A cantor in general is a person who leads people in singing, or sometimes in prayer. In formal Christian worship, a cantor is a person who sings solo verses or passages to which the choir or congregation responds. In Judaism, a cantor is one who sings and leads people in prayer in a Jewish religious service, and may be called hazzan. "Cantor" is used as a translation of equivalent terms in other languages, such as for the leader of singing on a traditional Kerali snake boat, a Chundan Vallam . A similar term is precentor, defined as a leader of the singing of a choir or congregation. More specific types of cantor include: * Cantor (Christianity), an ecclesiastical officer leading liturgical music in several branches of the Christian church * * Domestikos, leader of the right choir (Orthodox Church) * * Lampadarios, leader of the left choir (Orthodox Church) * * Precentor * * Succentor * Hazzan, cantor in a Jewish synagogue * * Cantors Assembly * * Cantor in Reform Judaism * * Syrian Cantors ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cantor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
