English term or phrase: a unique musical chant-like quality
I later learn from David Daniels and PhD student Eric Williams that activities at their church start at 6.00 am, when the doors are opened for 'prayer warriors' to pray for the Spirit's presence and moving in the coming service that begins at 7.45 am. The church 'Mothers' lead the prayer service, and most kneel around the altar, with ***a unique musical chant-like quality*** infusing their prayer accompanied by tears, praise and ecstatic speech.

con una calidad musical canora única


Explanation:
Creo entender que las Madres se reunen ante el altar y cantan. "Canoro" es un adjetivo que hace referencia a la voz, al canto. No sé, es una propuesta.

canoro, ra.
(Del lat. canōrus).
1. adj. Dicho de un ave: De canto grato y melodioso. El canoro ruiseñor.
2. adj. Dicho de la voz de las aves y de las personas: Grata y melodiosa. Apl. a la poesía, a los instrumentos musicales, etc., u. t. en sent. fig.
