Service (music)

In the Anglican church music service called the musical composition of certain parts of the liturgy, usually for choir with or without organ accompaniment.

The to add audio portions of Anglican worship are:

Morning Prayer

• Venite (Psalm 95 - rare after the English Restoration set to music )
• Te Deum or Benedicite
• Benedictus ( Lk 1, 68) or Jubilate (Psalm 100)

Holy Communion

• Responsorien to the Ten Commandments
• Credo
• Sanctus
• Gloria

( The order follows the Book of Common Prayer, the Anglican liturgy is largely modern Roman Catholic Mass adjusted).

Evening Prayer

• Magnificat or (rarely ) Cantate Domino ( Psalm 98)
• Nunc dimittis or (rarely ) Misereatur Deus (Psalm 67)

A full service includes all three of these prayer times. With the disappearance of daily morning worship from the Anglican liturgy and the restriction of choral participation in the Communion Service, the composer turned to the evening service (Evening Service ) reinforced. The funeral service ( Burial Service, see Requiem) has sometimes been set to music separately.

In the Tudor period and the early 17th century, services were referred to as " Short", "Great" or " verses " Services. Verse services consisted of sections for solo voices, Short services were simpler musical settings for (mostly) four -part choir, the a cappella could be executed, Great services (of which the most famous of William Byrd 's ) were long and elaborate and probably special occasions reserved. After the Restoration accounted for these designations and the services were distinguished by the key (for example, Henry Purcell's Service in G, etc.). Modern musical settings are often to the church or the choir for which they were composed named, such as "Collegium Magdalenae Oxoniense " by Kenneth Leighton for Magdalen College, or " Gloucester Service " by Herbert Howells Gloucester Cathedral.
