Looking for "liturgy music" but not sure what it is properly called
Posted: 29 Sep 2015 20:49
Hi everyone,
I'm working to start a more liturgical service at my church. I attend the Calgary Anglican Cathedral most Sundays and the Rector sings a lot of the service. I'm looking for examples and sheet music that I can use in the same way at my other church.
I realize that most of my problem is that I don't really know what this type of music is called (I was raised Fundamentalist, so this sort of things is new to me). But it usually involves singing almost all of a sentence on one note, then a few up/down notes for the last syllable. It's not Anglican Psalm Chant, which is great, but not what I need.
Basically, I have long passages of text I want to sing and I'm looking for recommendations. Ideally they must be singable solo, but if there are choral ornamentation, that would be excellent.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
