Zemiroth Shabbat

This page describes Zemiroth for normal Shabbat, including Shabbat Rosh Chodesh, Rosh Chodesh Chanuka and Medianos (Chol Hamoed).

Chazzan is standing on the Teba with tallit, tsibur (congregation) is sitting. The Chazzan can sit if he desires to do so, and indeed, I remember some Chazzanim sitting.
If he decides to sit, he must stand with the tsibur during
ברכות השחר (page 10), אנא בכח (page 20), קדיש (page 23)ה' מלך , (page 26), ברוך שאמר (page 34) and ויברך דויד ...לך משתחוים (page 40).

From נשמת (page 123), he is standing.

In general, the chazzan recites aloud only the first sentence of each mizmor. The last sentence is sung by the community, and then the by the chazzan. Some sentences in the middle of a mizmor are recited aloud.

 All are standing during Kaddish.

Recordings NN Bircot hashacar from workdays tape 1a minutes 3:46-13:29. The rest: tape 2b from minute 28:57 till tape 3 minute 20:45. (combined tape 2 & 3)
When NN says "gemeente" (with "g" pronounced like Hebrew chet, "e" like shjeva and "ee" like tsere) he means that that part is said by the congregants.
