Gītassara Sutta
This sutta has been largely overlooked by the various buddhist
traditions: the Buddha explains why he does not allow the bhikkhus to
perform any melodic chanting.

Pañc·ime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā āyatakena gīta·s·sarena dhammaṃ bhaṇantassa. Katame pañca? |

Attanā·pi tasmiṃ sare sārajjati, pare·pi tasmiṃ sare sārajjanti, gahapati·kā·pi ujjhāyanti: ‘yath·eva mayaṃ gāyāma, evam·evaṃ kho samaṇā sakyaputtiyā gāyantī’ti, sarakuttim·pi nikāmayamānassa samādhissa bhaṅgo hoti, pacchimā janatā diṭṭhānugatiṃ āpajjati. |

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā āyatakena gīta·s·sarena dhammaṃ bhaṇantassā·ti. |

1. householders get angry..:
this sutta is actually an excerpt from the Cūḷavagga of the Vinaya
Pitaka (Cv 249), where a certain group of six bhikkhus performs such a
chanting and householders are described to have been annoyed in those
terms (it is quite frequent in the Vinaya to find lay people criticizing
monks for enjoying sensual pleasures). Having been reported the matter,
the Buddha utters this sutta and then declares that doing so anyway
would constitute a dukkaṭa offense (ie. of wrong-doing, a light
offense). The Cūḷavagga then cites a case in which the Buddha states
that he nevertheless allows recitation with an intonation (sara·bhañña).
