→RE: Psalomshchik
I read conflicting stories about this term. Some of use this term to refer to the cantor. I guess that psalomshchik is translated as psalmist, which seems to make more sense for the use of cantor.
: I think it's mainly that the Russian tradition has mostly lost the cantor as a real office, since its music is choir-driven now. I do know, though, that ''Psalomshchik'' is the title which a man receives after having gone through the tonsure and ordination service identified in Greek for an ''anagnostes'' (reader). {{User:ASDamick/sig}} 06:34, January 16, 2006 (CST)
