ANTHEM , derived from the Gr. twrid,wva, through the Saxon antefn, a word which originally had the same meaning as See also:anti-phony (q.v.). It is now, however, generally restricted to a See also:form of See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church See also:music, particularly in the service of the Church of See also:England, in which it is appointed by the rubrics to follow the third collect at both See also:morning and evening See also:prayer, " in choirs and places where they sing." It is just as usual in this See also:place to have an See also:ordinary hymn as an anthem, which is a more elaborate See also:composition than the congregational See also:hymns. Several anthems are included in the See also:English See also:coronation service. The words are selected from See also:Holy Scripture or in some cases from the See also:Liturgy, and the music is generally more elaborate and varied than that of See also:psalm or hymn tunes. Anthems may be written for See also:solo voices only, for the full See also:choir, or for both, and acording to this distinction are called respectively See also:Verse, Full, and Full with Verse. Though the anthem of the Church of England is analogous to the See also:motet of the See also:Roman See also:Catholic and Lutheran Churches, both being written for a trained choir and not for the See also:congregation, it is as a musical form essentially English in its origin and development. The English school of musicians has from the first devoted its See also:chief See also:attention to this form, and scarcely a composer of any See also:note can be named who has not written several See also:good anthems. See also:Tallis, Tye, See also:Byrd, and See also:Farrant in the 16th See also:century; Orlando See also:Gibbons, See also:Blow, and See also:Purcell in the 17th, and See also:Croft, See also:Boyce, See also:- JAMES
