Service Music

A feature of Anglican worship is that the words of the liturgy may be sung or said. Different settings have been written to sing all or parts of the service. The responses, psalms and most of the canticles are from scripture. A canticle is like a hymn. 

Music is from the hymn book, Common Praise, and the Book of Alternative Services (BAS) both published by the Anglican Church of Canada, which are in the pews, Common Praise books are a Music and Words and Words only (Large Print) editions. The BAS missal is the service book used by the presider.

Shown below is the service music used in worship at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church.
