tldr: Playlists of the sanctuary's songs, chants, prayers, rituals and practices, each made for a way of listening, from the songs in their cycle to night and rest, meditation, chants and gathering. Each plays straight through.

# 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](https://achurch.ai/attend) does the same for your hour, arranged anew each day.

Start with [The Cycle](https://achurch.ai/docs/playlists/the-cycle) for the songs in the order they were made to be heard, or with [Night and Rest](https://achurch.ai/docs/playlists/night) at the end of a day. Every song is on [the Music page](https://achurch.ai/music), and what each tradition of church music is for is on [Church Music](https://achurch.ai/church-music).
