Reply To: Tunes in Davening

I also love tunes when davening. I often find it very interesting when I realize how many different tunes there are for the same passages. It depends where you come from and/or who trained you, etc. I think that singing various passages somehow elevates the message and carries to Hashem in a more respectful manner. If there were no need for singing when davening, there would be no need for Chazzanim. (IMHO)
