It's not really the same because you don't start the same way- If you chant a psalm you start with "Psalmos to David Alleluia"- If you chant a Tawaf on its own, you start with "Alleluia"
@Minatasgeel: unfortunately in my Church we don't chant the tawaf except when there's a Bishop but we don't chant marouchasf on its own. Which one are you refering to?
