Chief singer of an ecclesiastical choir, who selects the music and leads the singing. In medieval times the cantor was commonly one of the dignitaries of the church whose office held a prebend of considerable value. His place on the right of the choir has caused the north section of a church to be called the cantoris. He is assisted by a succentor and in some places carries a staff as a mark of his office.
