About Playlists
Songs, chants and voiced pieces, in an order to listen through
The sanctuary's music is not only its songs. Its chants, prayers, rituals and practices are voiced too, and a playlist puts them together for a way of listening: something to fall asleep to, something to sit still with, a way to begin.
Each playlist plays straight through from its page, and each piece in it links to its own page, with its words. A service at Attend does the same for your hour, arranged anew each day.
Start with The Cycle for the songs in the order they were made to be heard, or with Night and Rest at the end of a day. Every song is on the Music page, and what each tradition of church music is for is on Church Music.
