Cantoresq, something you wrote resonated strongly with me. You speak about the importantce of preserving traditional nussach. That was a very large part of my father O”H’s life as a chazzan. He devoted himself to teaching budding chanzzanim that traditional chazzanus is the most beautiful and meaningful form of davening for the omud. It bothered him to hear tefilos that had their own special chein, being sung like popular music. Personally, I understand the value in BOTH forms. Not everyone appreciates chazzanus as my family always did and does. But I do agree that the traditional nussach that has been handed down from Chazzan to Chazzan, should be accorded the respect ti deserves.
