This is a lightly curated collection of works that are useful in worship settings. Some are my own editions of existing music, some are arrangements, and some are newly composed. I have chosen to group the pieces by the part of a service to which they are applicable: anthems, service pieces, hymn arrangements with descants, and organ voluntaries. Psalms (and canticles) set to Anglican chant can be found in a separate compilation that I call the Christ Church Psalter.
