Introduction to Anglican Chant

- This video is meant to help congregations get started singing Anglican chant.
Please keep in mind, this is not meant to be a comprehensive look at Anglican chant, but rather a primer to assist those who have the desire to learn and jump right in. For those who are familiar with Anglican chant: the pointing system I used is the style my church uses. I realize there are other styles, but since this was meant for my congregation, I didn't want to cause too much confusion with pointing styles they're unlikely to encounter at our church.
I hope you and/or your congregation finds this a useful resource.
For a more comprehensive look at Anglican chant, here are two of my favorite resources:
The Anglican Chant Appreciation Society is a group on Facebook that is a most wonderful resource!

Ton Meijer's Anglican Chant index is a wonderful resource for those looking to identify a chant they've heard or to simply look for new chants to use.

Singing psalms in Church during my youth gave me a love of Scripture. I am now in my 70s
It’s a beautiful tradition, isn’t it? It has been a blessing in my life.
My experience is very similar. I have just turned 83 and continue to love the scriptures, especially the psalms, more each year. Through them the Lord brought me to himself.
I've been doing prayer videos for about 2 years. This is a great addition to the Psalms.
I’m so glad you found this useful!
thank you, it is a simple tutorial to understand how Anglicans chant the pslams. I am not Anglican but I greatly admire the beautiful melody of chanting psalms that I listen alots to it. God bless
I’m glad you found this helpful!
Thanks a lot! Wonderful demonstration!!!
What a lovely, truly good little lesson - first time to learn this thank you and God bless you amen
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you found this useful.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks much!
I'm glad I could help out!
Thank you. It has indeed been very useful. God bless you
I'm happy to hear that this is helpful for you!
Thank you, this is very informative.
You're welcome. I'm happy you found it useful!
Well done. Thank you. I’m trying to explain it to someone not familiar with Anglican chant.
Thanks so much! I hope this helps.
I had to brush up on my Anglican Chant and wanted to double-check what I believed to be correct. Thank you for setting my mind at ease with this video!
Johnsonseanm Glad I could help!
This video is a model for good video pedagogy. Serious props!!!
Thanks so much!
Finally I got it. Thank You.
thank you! this is very clear and informative
I'm glad to see that you found it helpful!
I finally understand.
I'm glad it was helpful for you! :-)
A good concise explanation.
Thanks so much, Michael! I'm always happy to hear when people find this video useful.
Thank you!
I’m glad you liked it!
Thank you, Michael.
In our psalter, a bar across the words to be sung on a single note is used instead of the dot. Otherwise this is right on point. Much appreciated.
Oh yes, that’s also a very common convention! I like using the dot, because to my eyes, it more easily distinguishes the separation.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!
Great!!
Thank you!
The key to teaching psalm singing to any group of singers/musicians is convincing them that the value of the notes in the score is basically meaningless.
The danger people slip into is to cram the words very quickly into the reciting tone and then overly elongate the words over bars 2,5,6. This is because the apply the correct duration value of the notes.
It’s important to teach singers not to hurry the reciting note but to give it the duration it needs to sing the words meaningfully, in the rhythm of natural speech.
Agreed!
People end up mumbling through the first measure as a result, which kind of ruins the point of "reading" the psalm - the words / meaning are lost.
I can't tell you how many times I've attended churches where the organist has biffed Anglican chant. Making everybody speed through long bits of text to fit it into the note.
Thanks, very helpful in explaining chant. One thing I've come across in my rather limited experience with the psalter is that sometimes in a double chant (at least I think it's only in double chant) there's an indication to only sing the second half, something you did not cover. In the RSCM psalter we use it's indicated by a double dagger ‡ Is this called a re-entry?
Will Ashworth I've not heard of that term, but it very well could be!
Usually if we have to sing the second half of the chant tune in church, what we do is add something to the bulletin that says: (Second half of chant tune).
I don’t know what it’s called but yes that symbol means you repeat the 2nd part of the chant for that verse. It happens in psalms with an odd number of verses rather than an even number. And the repeat can happen anywhere in the pslam (often at a climax) not necessarily at the end.
Can you tell me a recommended Psalter that demonstrates the pointing and tones in this manner. Especially a resource found on Amazon. I would like to see this singing of the Psalms return/start in local congregations.
"The Psalms of David" by George H. Guest is a great compilation. The psalm text differs slightly from the Revised Common Lectionary, but it's a really good resource that I've used in the past. The tunes are some of the best in Anglican Chant!
"The Anglican Chant Psalter" is another great resource put out by Church Publishing, but it doesn't quite follow this particular method of pointing the text. You'll find that there's not a universally followed way to point text, but once you know the basics, you can usually figure out what the editor is trying to convey.
I hope this helps!
For daily prayer my family usually just does tone 1 for all of the morning psalms, tone 2 in the evening, next day tone 3 for morning, tone 4 evening etc..... we go through most basic of the 8 tones and then repeat without going on to tone 1 a, or whatever else there is. There is some variation, but not much. I have wondered about the schedule though. Like, is there a timing on what Psalm tones to do at what time?
I’m not aware of any prescribed psalm tones based on time of day/week/month. I know that many psalters have recommendations for what tune to match with a psalm (and composers, too), but that’s the extent of it.
@@pdxmike1 that actually answers my question though. So I can basically choose to progress as I want with choosing the tone for that day or Psalm. Thanks!
Queston: Where do the chants come from? Is there an "official" source?
Good question! There isn't just one source for Anglican chants. You'll find that Episcopal/Anglican hymnals have sections that have chant tunes. There are several psalters that are exclusively Anglican chant (and the text is even pointed for you). Check out The Anglican Chant Psalter (Church Publishing) and The Psalms of David, ed. George Guest. These are two of my favorites.
There are truly countless sources, and after you collect a few, you'll find that there are a lot of tunes that appear in more than one source.
I hope this helps!
Is there a good tutorial or a conference (Zoom in this day and age) that would be helpful?
I don't know of any. You may want to check the Anglican chant Facebook group that's linked in the description and ask there. They're a helpful group of folks, and if there's a Zoom event, they'd know about it.
@@pdxmike1 thank you!
