Planning for Choirs



Role of the Choir in Worship


The choir functions most appropriately in the worship service when it:


  • Sings portions of the liturgy specifically assigned to the choir (ie. Verse of the Day)
  • Sings portions of other propers of the day (Psalm of the Day, Hymn of the Day)
  • Sings appropriate attendant music that fits with the readings appointed for the day and/or the theme of the service (anthem)
