Abstract
The Book of Common Prayer makes explicit provision for some of its words to be either “sung or said.” Vocal music, choral or congregational, has been a feature of Prayer Book services from the first. The original version of the text was set to music in 1550 by John Marbeck; since then, a tradition of “parochial music” has augmented Divine Service with metrical paraphrases of the Psalms, while “cathedral music” has developed a unique form of recitation known as Anglican chant, together with a genre of musical settings for choirs of the canticles at Morning and Evening Prayer.
