I assume that you are asking about the Rite of Benediction. The Benediction is used in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Usually in a Catholic Benediction, mostly Latin prayers are recited, and songs that pertain to the Eucharist, such as "Tantum Ergo" composed by St. Thomas Aquinas, are used. The priest or clerical celebrant may form a procession around the walls of the Church, otherwise, the Blessed Sacrament is adored in the focal point of the Altar. Prayers and Chants are recited until the Blessed Sacrament is placed into Reposition, inside the Tabernacle.

Why do you sing tauntum ergo?

It's spelled with only one 'U' -- Tantum Ergo --- even though it is pronounced like "taunt" in English. Latin 'a' is broad. We sing it at Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, a devotion of the Roman Catholic Church. It can also be spoken, but I think that's rather uncommon. Not that I'm an expert. Here's a Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benediction_of_the_Blessed_Sacrament However, Wikipedia is NOT authoritative regarding Catholic doctrine. I cite this particular article because it has a lot of photos, and the information looks pretty accurate. Benediction is a Catholic devotion, not really a matter of doctrine. For the authoritative information on the Roman Catholic Church doctrine or dogma, you would go to the Vatican's own English website, or the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops --- usccb.org. There are many Catholic resources online. EWTN's website is a good place to start, also. They have televised Benediction on EWTN. You can also find You Tube videos of Benediction, with or without Tantum Ergo.
