		Anglican chant uses a single (usually chant-like) harmonized melodic line which is repeated as many times as is necessary to carry the psalm.
		Anglican chant is usually heard with an organ accompaniment, and this has become an art form in itself, requiring great skill on the part of the organist in terms of registration (selection of organ stops), dynamics and articulation.
		The chant heard in today's liturgy is the work of Sir Edward Bairstow (1874-1946), and is one of the most enduring chant melodies in the repertoire, most of which arose during the 19th century as Anglican chant became more widely known and practiced.

	Anglican Chant: Principles and Directions for Chanting
		There is today a complete concensus of opinion on all sides that good chanting is primarily good reading aloud; that the rhythms of natural speech are as essential in the singing of Psalms and Canticles as in the saying of them without music.
		The notes of a chant tune have no time value of their own apart from the rhythm of the syllables to which they are sung.
		The chant has no fixed rhythm of its own to which the syllables are adapted, and all of its measures are of constantly changing length, sometimes of two beats, sometimes of three, sometimes of only one weak beat.

	Chant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chant is the rhythmic speaking or singing of words or sounds, often primarily on one or two pitches called reciting tones.
		Chants may range from a simple melody involving a limited set of notes to highly complex musical structures, often including a great deal of repetition of musical subphrases, such as Great Responsories and Offertories of Gregorian chant.
		Chant may be considered speech, music, or a heightened or stylized form of speech.

	Singing the Psalms: A Brief History of Psalmody - by Richard C. Leonard, Ph.D., Laudemont Ministries
		Another form of psalmody which developed during this period was Anglican chant, which was non-metrical and thus resolved the problem of the need to alter the biblical text.
		In Anglican chant, the first portion of a line is sung on a sustained pitch with harmonic support, with the final syllables resolving in a short series of chords.
		Anglican chant had the advantage of preserving the Hebrew parallelism of the psalms, but since it was suited more for choirs than for congregational singing, it was not taken up by the "nonconformist" churches which emerged from the English Reformation.

	Anglican chant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anglican chant is a method of singing prose translations of the Psalms, canticles, and other, similar texts.
		Psalm 119, which is the longest in the book, is generally sung with a change of chant after every 8 of its 176 verses, (corresponding to the 22 stanzas of the original Hebrew text).
		Psalm 2 (for example) is well-suited to a triple chant; a quadruple chant might be used for Psalm 78.

	Gregorian Association
		Supporters of the chant have generally defended it by appealing to "musica sacra", a concept which suggests that the chant is artistically superior to simple, "pastoral" music.
		It might therefore be suggested that the largely clerical rejection of the chant in recent years resulted from a premature judgement, stemming from a reductionist analysis of the possible range of meanings in the liturgy and its traditional music.
		However, the performance of Anglican Chant continued to be influenced by the same rhythmic performance style until the twentieth century, when equalist rhythm was adopted in the wake of the influence of the monks of Solesmes.

	[No title]
		Anglican Chant, dating from the seventeenth century, introduced English texts for the Psalms, and also paired them with structured music, creating a curious hybrid of intoning and singing that has long endeared itself to its practitioners.
		Anglican chants, like sonnets, are expansive yet succinct, and as entire as a symphony.
		To the mediaeval monks, chanting (it is claimed) was a vital form of meditation that recharged and regulated daily energy, and the music of the unaided human voice provided both tonic and stimulus for that "fuller experience of God's perfection in body, mind and spirit".

		Anglican chant--a harmonized form of liturgical chanting, primarily of psalms--isn't like anything else in music.
		Although it's closer in style to speech than traditional monodic Gregorian chant, the harmonizations--and thus the requirement for a particular type of singing ensemble--removes it from the impersonal and functional to the realm of a more artistic, performance-conscious purpose.
		To sing Anglican chant--and especially to sing it properly--you need a choir of mixed voices who have mastered the myriad aspects and subtleties of phrasing, inflection, articulation, tonal balances, dynamics, and the often debatable rules of pointing, not to mention the necessities of coordinating with the supporting--and sometimes ornamented--organ accompaniment.

		At St Ann's the worship planning group have been giving some thought to the fact that theirs is one of many churches where people are reluctant to sing psalms to traditional Anglican chant because they want the worship to be accessible and 'user-friendly', especially to those unfamiliar with traditional worship.
		For a while, when they had no organist, they set up a gramophone (as they called it) on the chancel steps and had the choir singing along to a record of a famous cathedral choir while everyone listened.
		In all these examples, the refrain can be sung in the style of a chant, or can be a hymn- or song-style setting.

		One website (which has a good description of Anglican chant) says that the Master Singers later became the King's Singers (who have a new Christmas album), but I see nothing on the King's Singers website mentioning that, although the group unofficially began at Cambridge a year before the two singles reached the charts.
		One more UPDATE (1 October 2004): A reader points out, correctly, that this isn't plainsong at all, it's Anglican chant, which is harmonized, while plainsong is unison.

		The "anthem," a word understood to mean a choral piece performed within the service without specific relation to any prescribed liturgical text, became one of the best known Anglican contributions to the general practice of church music.
		These so-called Anglican chants were sung in parts and relied on large portions of each text line to be sung on a single reciting note (chord).
		The American Lutherans used Anglican chant as congregational music, but it was not as satisfactory a musical form for this purpose, since it had been designed for choirs.
