Anglican chant

Form of plainsong used by the Anglican Church to set psalms, canticles (when they are not sung in a more elaborate setting), or other religious texts to music. It is usually sung in unison and with a free rhythm, based upon the inherent rhythm of the language. It may be accompanied by an organ, establishing a harmonic framework.
